The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says it just wants zoning information to complete the applications of four people who want to open gun stores. Camden County says it won’t cooperate. [More]
So who does that hurt?

We’re the Only Ones Hoplophobic Enough
Milwaukee police said they were so afraid of their department-issued handguns randomly firing, they wouldn’t bring them home near their family [More]
I’m not a hardware guy– I do rights. I don’t know enough about it to know if this is just a ploy to put on public pressure or if there really is a design/manufacturing flaw. Like I said back when, if the allegations are true, then it’s not protected. Which is as it should be.
The Horns of a Dilemma
It’s going to be interesting when some gun store becomes the first to refuse a sale because an employee think the purchaser is “mentally ill”… because they’re wearing a dress and wanting to be called a woman’s name. Who will the left defend? The gun store, or the purchaser? [More]
It reminds me of a paradox I thought of a few years back on the nature vs. nurture theories for homosexuality, prompted by those who argue they’re born that way and no one would choose it based on the discrimination they face.
Suppose there’s a biological/genetic basis for that and the markers could be identified in utero.
Would they try to outlaw “a woman’s right to choose” if that were the reason for her decision to terminate a pregnancy?

The Only Thing ‘Rogue’ is the Government
However, the ATF points out that the actual reason for the revocations may include but are “not limited to, the above list.” That is a massive understatement, since the real reasons for the majority of recent FFL revocations are far less serious. They are, in fact, minor clerical errors, which the ATF now considers willful violations of its self-written rules rather than simple mistakes, because of its zero-tolerance policy that Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland announced in June 2021.

Shades of Red’s Trading Post (five full pages or blog posts for those who want to see what it took for just one gun shop to prevail)…
I’m remembering the time a U.S. Marshal tried to scare me away from covering that.
Repelling the First Wave
“After we questioned their motives and informed them of Oversight and Republican controlled Appropriations, they all left,” Greene added. “Protect the Second Amendment and the law abiding businesses. [More]
It feels like they were looking for a prize. Expect them to be back with a vengeance when she’s not there. And expect adverse action findings to “justify” their large presence.
I’m actually surprised they didn’t arrest her for obstruction. General counsel must have told them the optics weren’t right… yet.
The Real Agenda
WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M. proves the useful idiot editors of the Scranton Times aren’t really believers in “background checks”– their “reasoning” reveals what they really want is to end all gun sales. [More]
New Name, Same Role
You will never go broke betting on the hypocrisy of the left. In this case, the NAACP, NC Black Alliance and other advocacy groups claiming to represent Black Americans are backing (if you can believe this) a Jim Crow law. [More]
That’s because leftist advocacy issues will always take a back seat to the greater goal of securing a totalitarian monopoly of violence.
Besides, remember who the drivers were.
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
Asian Americans have long been the lowest gun-owning demographic in the US, however, a recent string of mass shootings is changing that. [More]
Yeah, well, there’s a problem with that:
44% of Asian American registered voters surveyed think of themselves as Democrat, 19% think of themselves as Republican…

Speaking of Adverse Actions…
New Leak Shows The ATF’s Plan To Revoke FFLs [More]
To paraphrase Bill Clinton, it depends upon what the meaning of the word “rogue” is.
Et Tu, Cabelas?
Cabela’s in Indiana not selling standard capacity mags to IL residents [More]
They ID customers to buy magazines? What law?
They just don’t want to get sued? Maybe volunteering to be a proxy for the grabbers will end up costing them more than that.
And what about Bass Pro Shops?
I’m trying to recall from my earlier career if I’ve ever met a corporate risk management director who didn’t need to have their bowels unblocked.

Losing Momentum?
Now the latest background check data shows the gun-buying craze wanes, though it remains elevated. [More]
The noobs, I kind of get if they’re young.
As for the old hands, I guess I don’t understand how creating a record of buying something you’re afraid is going to be banned is supposed to work.

Scare Tactics
The man who was fatally shot by police after entering a Target store in Omaha, Nebraska, armed with an AR-15-style rifle had obtained the weapon just four days earlier at a Cabela’s sporting goods store, police said Wednesday. [More]
And aside from putting Cabela’s on the spot with a fact irrelevant to the situation, the purpose of telling us that is…? Did the guy pass the background check we’re told must be made universal or not?
If it had been four years, they’d simply come up with a different avenue of attack.

The Lone Range-R
Lawless Enough for Government Work
CCDL RESPONDS TO GOVERNOR LAMONT’S LATEST ROUND OF ANTI-GUN PROPOSALS [More]
An open carry ban and purchase limits — just like the Founders intended.
And no, of course that’s not all the tyrant demands.
Interesting, who these control freaks presume the law is supposed to protect…
When will in-your-face defiance of a coequal branch of government and suppression of unalienable rights be properly considered the insurrectionary seditious conspiracy that it is?

Washington State Pile-On
The Assault on Our 2nd Amendment Rights [More]
I could spend time quibbling with that characterization, but the priority here is understanding the areas of attack:
- HB-1240 has a long list of weapons that will be banned under this legislation.
- HB-1178 – Concerning local government authority to regulate firearms.
- HB-1143 – Concerning requirements for the purchase or transfer of firearms.
- HB-1144 – Enhancing requirements for the purchase or transfer of firearms.
- HB – 1240 – Establishing firearms-related safety measures to increase public safety.
They’re all over at the above link, plus Washington Gun Law details them out and points out the urgency for action. [Watch]

Still Waiting for an Answer
However, for those like Hudson who do have these concerns, I’d offer a suggestion. If you feel this way, you should start pushing the lawmakers asking for your support to oppose gun control. [More]
We’re well aware of Republican betrayals and failures. That said, what kind of utter moron says they’re for the right to keep and bear arms and then backs Democrats, and what kind of two-faced opportunists support that?
Just because the enemy has guns is no reason to mistake them for our friends.
