Notes from the Resistance
How do you get rid of guns legally in Iowa? And what provisions are in place to reduce the odds Grandpa’s pistol doesn’t fall into the wrong hands and isn’t used in a crime down the road? [More]
You’ll note the best way to do that — consider what Grandpa knew that you don’t and then learn how to use it — is nowhere mentioned.
Who thinks that’s not deliberate?

H.R. 4202: To amend title 18, United States Code, to expand to all firearms the requirement that Federal firearms licensees report sales of 2 or more handguns to the same unlicensed person within 5 consecutive business days. [More]

During my visit to Highwood Creek Outfitters, I learned that the IRS confiscated all the 4473 forms from the store. This means that the sensitive personal information of any customer ever to purchase a firearm at Highwood Creek Outfitters is now in the hands of the IRS. These background check forms include no financial information, and there is no discernable reason why the IRS would need these forms. The IRS committed an egregious breach of privacy for Montana’s gun owners, and I am outraged that the agents involved showed no regard for federal law. Although there are still some murky details regarding the events at Highwood Creek Outfitters. There is no circumstance in which 4473’s would be necessary in an investigation spearheaded by the IRS.

I guess seizing records outright beats taking pictures with their phones. Funny, how this most significant piece of information got buried until the end of the “news” account…

The City Council on Tuesday unanimously directed staff to draft an ordinance that would be the “best gold standard” for placing restrictions on gun sales and ownership… “We want to make it as difficult as possible for (guns) to get into the hands of folks who might do something,” said Councilmember Caroline Torosis, who co-sponsored the discussion item. [More]
“Do something” like what? Defend themselves against the rising crime you Peoples Republic mandarins, through your insufferable arrogance and incompetence, have ensured is doing nothing but getting worse…?

But Napa County is among the more heavily Democratic counties in California, and it doesn’t have an unusually high number of young people. Why gun sales shot up so much here relative to other California counties, and what the consequences of that increase have been, is unclear. [More]
What is clear is just because someone has a gun doesn’t make him a friend, a point too many who get all gushy at increased sales don’t seem to grok.

Georgia gun dealer Jon Waldman says his conscience won’t allow him to continue selling guns that could be used to target kids. [Watch]
What a sniveling traitor and media whore.
He only opened it in March 2021? And he didn’t think of any of his objections before doing that? And now he renounces everything in the most public way possible? I’m thinking $omething else is going on.
Every comment seems to be saluting him for having the courage of his convictions. But the video’s companion news report says he only got into the business because he thought it was “lockdown proof.”
So what’s he going to do with his inventory? Sell it to some other FFL who will then sell it to the public to “target kids”?
Anybody from Georgia Carry know this guy?

One of America’s most popular handguns is allegedly firing on its own, leaving dozens of cops injured: suit [More]
If true, PLCAA should not apply, and it will at least make it easier to point out grabtard “immunity” lies.

According to DPD, the firearms were wrapped with graphics advertising “We Buy Guns” and have not been recovered. The thief only had to break a window to get into the truck and grab the guns. [More]
Am I wrong to wonder if we’ve heard the last of what really went down here, and that it involved more than industrial-grade stupidity?

As a veteran, gun-owner, hunter, and dad, I know that basic gun safety isn’t a threat to the Second Amendment. [More]
No, of course not. Basic gun safety is essential to it.
But that’s not really what you’re talking about, is it?
Be vewy, vewy quiet… I’m infwinging wights… Hehhehhehhehheh…
You have to wonder what kind of gun owner would be stupid enough to fall for this.
Or go so far as to tell people he’s “a true and constant friend.”
“Women are the fastest-growing group of gun owners in America,” Milhans told Fox News. [More]
That must be why “In every presidential election since 1980, a gender gap has been apparent, with a greater proportion of women than men preferring the Democrat in each case.”
I had some deep thinker criticize me a while back for not being “a gun person” because I point such things out.
It’s not about guns. It’s about freedom.

We also videotape the point of sale for firearms and only allow certain trained associate to sell firearms. [More]
I’d say any Fudd who still buys guns there deserves what he gets.

“Within 15 minutes, we had people coming in,” Krahl told the Tribune on Saturday. “There was a line outside the door before I could open up this morning. There will be no lunch today, because we’ll be going nonstop.” [More]
When voting with your ballots doesn’t work, there’s always Plan B.

There’s a Reason African American Gun Ownership is Rising [More]
Words nowhere addressed in the article: “Vote.” “Republican.” “Democrat.”
If being a gun owner was all it took, we’d have no better pals than Lon Horiuchi and David Chipman.
Everybody comes all over themselves reading headlines like “WSJ poll: More Blacks and Hispanics voting Republican in midterms” and you have to get into the weeds to find “According to its findings, 17% of registered Black voters said they would vote for a Republican candidate for Congress over a Democrat on Tuesday…”
In anybody’s book, that’s still a landslide for the Citizen Disarmament Party, and anyone who believes the numbers will change enough before the Dems get a supermajority and a Bruen-reversing SCOTUS probably thinks we can offset the “pathway to citizenship” from within the imposed echo chamber.
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.
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?

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.

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.
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]
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.
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…

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.

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.

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.
