“Something for everyone,” eh?
Looks like one of those artsy, trendy tourist traps ruled over by well-heeled, rope-selling useful idiots who have no idea what’s in store for the bourgeoisie…
“Our kind” need not apply.
Scott’s on a different mission.

David, What’s with the Ohio AG not joining the other States in the lawsuit challenging the new rule against private sales? [More]
I won’t respond there, because a big thing with me is keeping things on topic (see “Comment H0use Rules” in sidebar). That’s why comment threads hijacked away from the conversation I’m inviting, or worse, devolving into childish squabbling, really grind my gears.
But it’s a good question, and Dave Yost hasn’t shied away from those before.

Flip or Flop
Flipping a gun for a price higher than one paid now may turn anyone into a dealer, making any such sale unlawful if it does not involve all the licensing and paperwork that govern gun dealers. [More]
Brought to you by every Republican who joined with Democrats on Biden’s “bipartisan” tyranny.

There’s an App for That
More guns are now trafficked to criminals through online sources such as Facebook, TikTok and Tinder than are trafficked at gun shows or flea markets, according to new Justice Department data that argues the marketplace for illegally obtained weapons is quickly evolving. [More]

What Goes Up…
The Media Say Crime Is Going Down. Don’t Believe It. The decline in reported crimes is a function of less reporting, not less crime. [More]
Interesting, though, that it’s happening at a time of extended record gun sales…

This NSSF-supported law protects the privacy and sensitive financial information of people purchasing firearms and ammunition in Iowa. [More]
I sure am seeing a lot of breathless hyperbole over blocking Merchant Category Codes…
So they’re switching from NICS to BIDS…?

Gun Store Owner Defends Approval of Biden Background Check Rule
One would think a Federal Firearms Licensee would be in tune with gun owner reasons and sentiments for Second Amendment absolutism, especially one whose website advertises “we specialize in Paramilitary weapons, military weapons, pistols, etc.” And one would think he would be aware of and responsive to mounting criticism from gun owners angered by his public statements, evidenced by comments under the WJAC article, but especially, on his Facebook.

A bloviating gunkapo finds out pretty quickly his 15 minutes of fame weren’t worth it and is now trying to cover his tracks.

DC police dealt thousands of guns; ATF demands answers after concerning number found at crime scenes … So many guns recovered at crime scenes, in such a brief period, that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives placed D.C. police into a program designed to give extra scrutiny to dealers with higher levels of so-called crime guns.
