Noted this recent news item:
“Numbers released Monday show that the FBI ran 192,749 National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) background checks on Black Friday 2022.” (and 711,372 total for the week) — Did not include the number rejected and I don’t expect to ever see a final tally of justified rejections vs. approved on reexamination.

Mecklenburg County Sheriff Sued Again Over Handgun Permits [More]
So at what point will failure to comply with a court order result in frog-marching him into a cell?
Oregon State Police saw a spike in requests for Firearms Instant Check System (FICS) background requests leading up to and especially following the midterm election. [More]
While many assumed that the implementation date would be 30 days after the election was actually “certified” (given that votes were being counted long after Nov 7th) now we are being told the Secretary of State has no plans to wait and the ban of new gun sales and magazines will begin December 8th.
I have an AmmoLand piece on Measure 114 in the publishing queue.

A divided U.S. appeals court on Monday upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit against Remington Arms over a trigger defect in one of its rifles that allegedly led to the accidental shooting death in 2011 of an 11-year-old boy by his 15-year-old brother in Mississippi. [More]
Yeah, I know, all guns are always loaded, and never point one at anything you’re not willing to destroy, but if the trigger really was defective and the gun really was prone to firing spontaneously, this sounds like they won one they should have lost and surrendered one they should have won.
I don’t know how you can have a ‘three-year clock” involving a homicide

AMEX DENYING 2nd Amendment companies accounts because of their “industry”[Watch]
It’s a developing story so he’s still checking into that conclusion.
We know they willingly piled on to the leftist scheme.

In honor of Henry Repeating Arms’ silver anniversary celebration, the Wisconsin-based company is donating $50,000 to DAV (Disabled American Veterans), an organization dedicated to empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. [More]
This came in via email and I thought it merited sharing.
The driver of a stolen car smashed into a gun store early Thursday morning and three men stole at least 10 firearms. [More]
Look for the antis to blame the victim in 3…2…1…
The place is about 20 minutes from me (and, fun fact, six from Jeffrey Dahmer’s boyhood home). I see they’re maintaining their sense of perspective and humor with their “smash and grab sale” announcement I hope the Facebook censors miss.

Licenses revoked over ‘simply paperwork violations’ [More]
They’re getting the population of dealers down to a manageable level of larger corporations more manipulable by struggle session pressures and open lawfare to do what they’re told.
“It is disappointing that Attorney General Ellison filed his complaint without ever once talking to us… It’s also worth noting that … we were told by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms that our team members had ‘done nothing wrong’ and had complied with all applicable gun laws.” [More]
Yeah, but Ellison’s communist agenda never let a little thing like innocence slow it down…

Despite polls that say otherwise, firearms instructor Brandi Joseph offers proof that women want guns to protect themselves against America’s escalating violence and are attending classes to hone their shooting skills. These are women of all races and political parties — especially Democrats . [More]
Well then those aren’t the polls that matter, are they?

I see nothing surprising and would not expect them to have everything they own taken from them and be sent to prison as felons by defying tyranny enforcers that will destroy them. That said, it’s the reason I do not personally use the internet for such transactions.
But that said, there are still unanswered questions.
In any case, we have already established that I don’t own any guns and never have– nasty, scary things, always going around killing people…

Moderated into Spam folder:
Yeah, I put the work into this to give shameless parasites free advertising. By ignoring clearly defined “keep it on topic” Comment House Rules defined in the sidebar, and by presuming to get something for nothing at the expense of someone else’s labors, I’d say that pretty much tells me all I need to know about the attention to detail and ethical principles to expect.
I wouldn’t trust ’em with my credit card.
“Everybody knows the prestige and heritage associated with Remington…” [More]
Well, we thought we did.
That “Remington Ammunition and Remington Firearms are now two separate companies” does not mean how that happened can be treated like it never did.
KE Arms Sued: What GWACS Armory Doesn’t Want You To Know — A Lawyer Explains [Watch]
As I indicated earlier, I don’t know anything about this and won’t have time to learn. There’s only one of me and the plate is overflowing with other priorities and commitments already. Full disclosure: I didn’t even have time to watch this 19-minute video in its entirety, either.
I post this as an information resource for those of you who do have an interest in this matter. If you have intel to add, from either side, please feel free to leave relevant comments.
[Via Jess]
KE Arms is fighting to defend itself from a shameful legal assault by GWACS Armory and Reed Oppenheimer, activist millionaire. They have racked up massive legal bills from the two years of lawsuit that have already passed, and with a trial scheduled for later this year the bills will only increase. If they are not able to see this through to completion, the KP-15 monolithic polymer lowers and the WWSD 2020 rifles along with them will disappear. [Watch]
I’ll stipulate up front I have no familiarity with these products, this situation, or any of the players and claims involved, and can’t foresee making an effort to find out more.

A little over a month ago, merchant category codes for guns were still a little-discussed backdoor ploy.
Now they’re pounding on the front door with ISO announcing a global standard. (I know a bit about the process from a past life, back when everybody thought it was just about quality standards.)
Just a month and a half since my initial Firearms News warning, look at how this is dominating the narrative. Bottom line, if you want to do business, bureaucrats in Geneva say you have to turn snitch.
Funny thing about all those headlines spreading the same talking points: None of them are documenting the communist front groups behind the demand for this.
