A Taxing Proposition

Today the Illinois Appellate Division reversed a lower court decision that had dismissed a legal challenge to the Cook County tax on firearms and ammunition sales. [More]

That case has been going back and forth for years. I’d reserve words like “huge” for the final decision, whenever that is.

Bloody-Handed, Greedy Gun Stores Profiting from Slaughter of Innocents!!!

Gun shops that sell the most guns used in crime revealed in new list [More]

“Real reporter” Nick Penzenstadler and USA Today (A Gannett Publication) said it, I believe it, that settles it.

“Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s, Rural King and Sportsman’s Warehouse”…?

Hey, I’ll bet more cars from large volume dealers are involved in accidents, too!

Produce one instance where any of the named stores, operating under the threat of surprise “zero tolerance” audits and record/inventory seizures, knowingly sold a firearm to a “prohibited person.” Is it their fault if Hunter Biden walks in and lies on a 4473?

Hey, going after the “law-abiding” who leave records to track has always been easier than tackling the underworld.

What? Gannett didn’t tell us about that? And, in fact, made a point of axing and erasing the one guy who would?

No Supply Demand

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses HB 2118, a actual reality this legislative session and a bill who’s sole purpose is to financially ruin every single FFL in the State of Washington. If you thought your individual liberties have been under attack, wait until you check this piece of leglislation out. This is the most Orwellian and dystopian piece of legislation to ever be introduced in Washington State and must be stopped now. [Watch]

Prohibitonists gonna prohibit…

History Lesson

“Our brief is really a look at history,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “We have detailed gun regulation in this country dating back to before the Revolutionary War, and our brief explains how the state has failed to provide a single Founding-era restriction on firearms commerce. [More]

The prohibitionist have been dodging that challenge for a long time.

Tax Holiday

To amend Code Section 48-8-3 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to exemptions from sales and use taxes, so as to exempt sales of firearms, ammunition, gun safes, and related accessories during an 11 day period each year; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes. [More]

Keep track of who’s behind it and bill progress here.

More Guns, Less Crime

Data posted at the Gun Violence Archive website shows 2023 produced fewer homicides, suicides, and gun-related injuries than in 2022, which indicates expansion of permitless carry laws, allowing more people to carry firearms for personal protection, did not result in more bloodshed as anti-gunners predicted. [More]

Someone ought to write a book with that title…

We’re the Only Ones Very Least Enough

At the very least, Montgomery County Sheriff Sean Kilkenny has violated his oath of office, particularly the portion in which he swore to support and defend the United States Constitution including the Second Amendment. [More]

“Patsy” seems such a polite way to say “oath-breaking, mother f*****g piece of s***”…

He’s not an unwitting dupe. His evil is self-serving and premeditated.

Baltimore’s ATF Lawsuit Really Only Targets ‘Law-Abiding’ Gun Dealers

The prohibitionists want to sue dealers out of existence and are using spurious allegations parroted by their complicit media partners to add another con to their repertoire of rights swindles. [More]

Does anyone believe Steve Detttelbach’s ATF doesn’t welcome being sued and hasn’t been ordered to find a plausible way to take a dive?

Thinking Outside the Dox

…Indiana Superior Court Judge John M. Sedia denied an order to quash subpoenas for records maintained by several large Indiana gun dealers. [More]

Who does he think he is?

Speaking of a Public Nuisance…

“These may be the first two lawsuits filed by the Statewide Affirmative Firearms Enforcement office, but they will not be the last,” Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin (D) said in a news conference. “We’re putting everyone else in the gun industry on notice.” [More]

So you deserve to get raped because of that short skirt you wore and how dare you direct citizens to where things are legal…?

This Platkin creature is quite the zealous little fascist. It seems personal.

You know how you can tell he’s lying…?

I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen led a coalition of 26 attorneys general in opposition to the Biden administration’s shocking and unconstitutional attack on American’s right to keep and bear arms that could criminalize law-abiding citizens for selling a single firearm for profit unless the seller obtains a federal license. [More]

Good arguments, but you know the fix is already in.

It’d be stronger if they had also mutually committed to legal consequences they will initiate on behalf of the gun-owning citizens in their respective states when the rule is enacted.

Then again, control freaks generally won’t slow down unless they’re more personally invested in the cost/benefit ratio.

Record Gun Sales Not Necessarily a Mandate for Political Change

So, “we’re” winning? If you listen to some “gun pundits,” this shows the tide is turning and gives gun owners cause to celebrate. The enthusiasm would be more credible if there were some believable numbers showing new gun ownership will translate into votes against Democrats, the party of citizen disarmament, in enough numbers to eject the gun-grabbers from power and replace them with Second Amendment stalwarts. [More]

Harvey Keitel’s NSFW “Well, let’s not start ******* **** *****’* ***** quite yet” line from Pulp Fiction comes to mind.

Without Further Comment

Once the comment period has ended, the ATF will consider the public comments before deciding whether to adopt the rule, modify it, or drop it. [More]

Y’know, I was nodding along with you right until this last line. Does anyone seriously believe the decision wasn’t made before the required rule was posted for comment?

The only reason I submitted one was to show my solidarity with those making their refusal to bow down a matter of record. That’s why I urge you to come and stand with us, regardless of the coordinated Astroturf campaign.

I just wish I could believe the poor showing from “our side” is because most consider it a useless effort and believe Bruen will save us, instead of what “experience hath shown” to generally be the case.

Still Giving Pause

“This action has raised concern about a possible extralegal attempt by the Biden Administration to harm the domestic firearms manufacturing industry in pursuit of an anti-firearm agenda by starving it of access to international markets for at least 90 days, perhaps indefinitely,” Chairman Comer wrote. [More]

I posted the October 30 Reeves and Dola alert on my WarOnGuns Placeholder blog.

You Can’t Have Your Lekach and Eat It Too

“It’s a dark and dangerous time for Jews right now,” Panitch, who is the only Jewish American lawmaker in the Georgia legislature, said. “I’ve heard from people in the community who are afraid who have talked about other types of self-defense, including firearms,” Panitch said. “I have upgraded my weapons training as a result of what’s going on. [More]

And Georgia’s Democrat Jews, along with “Look at her– she’s one of us!” gun owners, are slaves to identity politics enough to believe this kapo fraud?

Willful Tyranny

He and many other dealers complain that ATF changed their definition of what constitutes a willful violation. The ATF now says that every gun dealer has been told to submit only proper paperwork, so any error – even clerical – constitutes a willful violation of ATF rules. [More]

There is no new thing under the sun.

The functionaries carrying this out must be pretty confident they’ll never be held personally accountable for their “willful violations.”
