SCOTUS ‘Ghost Gun’ Vote Underscores Importance of Vetting Judicial Candidates on Second Amendment

Today’s SCOTUS vote putting a hold on O’Connor’s block shows a Bruen Second Amendment majority does not necessarily reflect across-the-board solidarity on the separate issue of regulatory authority. And at least one of the votes is no surprise. [More]

Think of one job you’ve applied for where you’d have gotten it if you decided to play coy with the hiring managers.

So Come on Down to Kapo Arms

Central NY man sentenced to prison for illegal rifle after gun dealer reports large ammo sales [More]

Is Master pleased with you, gunsnitch? Did he have something on you or were you just trying to suck up and curry favor?

I don’t see who the informant was from this.

Doing What Republicans Do Best

Well the bad news is we were right. Tim Knopp is making deals to throw gun owners under the bus. The “deal” will be to let the Democrats ban personally made firearms, a scheme courts have already determined to be unconstitutional. [More]

What? They won’t stop with that?

Leave it to gutless idiot f*****g Republicans. Fold on anything and that’s one less obstacle they need to overcome on their way to everything.

Anyone who doesn’t realize we’re dealing with lying devils who want it all is willfully deluded. Anyone who does realize it and “compromises” anyway is ultimately on their side.

Hanging Separately

Mr. King advised that I was wasting my time looking for New York Attorney and that the NYSRPA and the NRA would not help legally. The call did not end well when I pressed Mr. King about those in our ranks turning customer data over to the government and law-enforcement agencies… hung up on me? I will address that conversation in a separate video post. [More]

I wonder how many members had and will have data compromised.

Ghost Guns

SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t seen Winchester, a 2018 Hollywood hit piece on guns, and don’t want to know what happens, stop reading now.

I had a chance to watch it last night. I’d been curious to see it since it came out but not enough to pay money for.

It’s based on the real-life crazy heiress to the gun company whose story has been twisted to paint her as compelled to build and tear down senseless additions to her mansion because she was haunted by the spirits of those killed “by” Winchester firearms.

How fitting that such a character was portrayed by crazy anti-gun “movie star” Helen Mirren, firing off military weapons for action picture fame and fortune while simultaneously promoting global citizen disarmament right down to demanding “a total ban of replica guns.”

Naturally, the writers and everyone involved had no problem with the malevolent spirits blaming guns for all the killings, which is actually a pretty good analogy for their malevolent real-life counterparts. I also found it ironic (because the filmmakers didn’t) to see the protagonist, a drug-addicted gunquack, save the day by killing the head ghost with a magic bullet fired from a Winchester rifle.

The stuff that delusions are made of…

As if by Design

Fourteen Senate Democrats on Tuesday sent a letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) asking the agencies to strictly enforce a new law on ghost guns because companies are dodging the rule through a loophole. [More]

Reminds me of a Xeroxed cartoon that was making the rounds out of the engineering department at a place I used to work at:

Tyrants Haunted by Ghosts

The Department of Justice’s Statement of Interest informs the Court that the United States has serious concerns about the proliferation of untraceable firearms easily assembled from firearm parts kits and unfinished frames and receivers. [More]

Well, yeah. If we don’t know about them, how are we expected to confiscate them?

Rope-a-Dope

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Defense Distributed have teamed up to sue the State of California over its ban on CNC machines used for producing unserialized firearms and a law letting the State recover attorney fees from plaintiffs and their lawyers. [More]

You get the feeling that the state, with virtually unlimited resources, is forcing the gun groups to expend all of theirs on lawsuit after lawsuit, counting on exhausting and wearing them out until they’ve got nothing left to punch with.

Much Ado about Nothing

“Polymer80 is on the front lines of protecting the Second Amendment rights of all Americans right now,” Kelley told ProPublica. “That’s not a brag. It’s just the reality because we’ve become the whipping boy for emotionally driven government policy.” [More]

Say you could retrieve every gun involved here. How many crimes would be solved and killers would be taken off the streets if you could trace their serial numbers to their lawful owners?

The Wrong Questions

In his order on Tuesday, Welte wrote: “The rather speculative risk of harm to the plaintiffs, on the one hand, does not outweigh the harm to the ATF’s interest in law enforcement and public safety, on the other.” [More]

Spoken like a true judicial fascist, all the while avoiding the real issues. Who recommended him to Trump?

This is what happens when confirmation hearings are treated more like pre-coronation ceremonies than job interviews.

A Plan Comes Together

ATF’s New ‘Ghost Gun’ Rules Are as Clear as Mud – The ATF used a lot of words that invite lawsuits and leave industry insiders baffled. [More]

That’s by design. Make things so complicated nobody can figure them out and be willing to take investment risks. Plus, fedgov has unlimited resources to tie challenges up in court for years and/or until the Democrats can pass bulletproof legislation.

Thank Your Republican Leadership!

A manufacturer of untraceable “ghost guns” has been ordered to pay D.C. $4 million as part of a legal settlement that will also prohibit it from selling any guns to city residents in the future. [More]

Left unsaid is that Ebony Scott is a leftist tool confirmed with the help of Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Roy Blunt, Shelley Capito, Lisa Murkowski, Rob Portman, and Thom Tillis.

And yes, we could come up with damning links on all of them.
