Federal Judge: Biden ATF Rule on Firearms Sales Cannot Be Used Against NRA Members [More]

Speaking as Life Member who is now covered, let me just say that equal protection should demand it apply to everyone else, as well.

Note the difference in that attitude, and the attitude of “Only Ones” benefiting from LEOSA but unwilling to invite those of us on the outside in.

Trading Up

The Commission should support this effort by rooting out and helping to remedy any activities by the Biden-era FTC that may have improperly aligned the agency with anti-Second Amendment non-governmental organizations (“NGOs”) or otherwise infringed upon Second Amendment rights. [More]

I’m all over Larry Keane and NSSF when they suck up to tyranny, so I gotta give them credit when they do good.

The FTC commissioners are all Republicans, so there’s no excuse for them not taking a leadership position in protecting firearms commerce.

So why haven’t they already declared new policy? Why do they have to be publicly prodded?

UPDATE

By all means, educate me on their leadership:

It shouldn’t be this hard to find.

Pushing Back

The gun lobby claims it is “winning” the fight against Australia’s longstanding crackdown on firearms, pointing to a sharp increase in licensed gun owners and weapons since laws were introduced in the aftermath of the 1996 Port Arthur massacre as a sign of its strength. [More]

I wish them luck.

They gotta work on that “licensing” thing.

To Their Credit

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) under Director Russ Vought on Tuesday closed a Biden-era investigation against Credova, a subsidiary of Public Square that provides consumer financing for firearms, believing this is yet another example of weaponization of government that the Trump administration hopes to end, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.

This good cop/bad cop makes my head hurt.

Where Credit is Due

According to the actual complaint, a Florida gun dealer became suspicious of Delgado after he tried to purchase his fourth Barrett rifle, which can retail for $10,000 or more. As a result, the gun dealer contacted the ATF directly. [More]

If he hadn’t reported suspicions he’d have been treated as a co-conspirator. That, to me, is the greater issue.

Don Jr.’s $econd Amendment

Trump Jr. takes gun company public at NYSE hoping to end ‘woke’ mindset in new ‘cultural shift’ [More]

Great. I’m a big believer in 2A and capitalism (just not the connected crony public/private partnership/fascist kind). That said, you’ll forgive me for wondering if it’s all about Phase 3 for the guy.

It’s not exactly like he actually did anything when there was no money in it for him.

And speaking of money…

Our Hero!

This was a heroic action by the employee and undoubtedly saved who knows how many lives. [More]

So the position of the industry is “gun control” works but NICS needs a vigilante assist?

Doesn’t that also play into the hands of lawfaring gun-grabbers who argue dealers without psychic abilities are negligent and liable? And can they still do that if the person is the “wrong” color?

I note they’re prosecuting the guy for lying on the 4473. Guess he didn’t have the right dad.

We’re the Only Ones Unserious Enough

This was serious?

How about this?

Gun Store Shutdown Moves Ahead

Republican Senator Fred Girod said he believed the point of the bill was to make guns more expensive. We disagree. The bill is clearly designed to make guns unavailable. [More]

Don’t look to the controlled opposition to deny a quorum.

UPDATE

I’m told the House decided a floor show was an appropriate people’s business concern:

Where There’s a Will…

An illegal alien from China pleaded guilty today to federal criminal charges for illegally exporting firearms, ammunition and other military items to North Korea by concealing them inside shipping containers that departed from the Port of Long Beach, California, and for committing this crime at the direction of North Korean government officials, who wired him approximately $2 million for his efforts… In May 2023, Wen purchased a firearms business in Houston, paid for with money sent through intermediaries by one of Wen’s North Korean contacts. Wen purchased many of the firearms he sent to North Korea in Texas and drove the firearms from Texas to California, where he arranged for them to be shipped. [More]

How did he pass NICS? How did he get an FFL? What was the name of his business? And where were all Joe Biden’s “zero tolerance” IOIs?

Funny, how “news” accounts by “real reporters” don’t seem to be curious.

How much more attention did he need to call to himself? Is it wrong to wonder if anyone’s palms were getting greased? Including not just his ATF overseers, but agents at docks approving shipments to hostile nations…?

What a Democrat dilemma that this illegal alien criminal will face deportation once he’s served his sentence. I can see heads exploding trying to figure which side to take.

UPDATE

Looks from the criminal complaint that he used “straw purchasers.”

I’m still not clear on what this “firearms business in Houston” is about, but then with all the stuff I gotta do today, I’ve only had time to scan the complaint, not go through it line-by-line.
