‘Just Following Orders’

So DOJ is just following orders?

Precedent says that’s no excuse:

In the case of the US v. Josef Altstötter, et al., an American military tribunal tried members of the Reich Ministry of Justice as well as jurists and prosecutors of the People’s Court [Volksgericht] and Special Court [Sondergericht].

As for voting to change the law, what they’re saying is individual citizens in solid blue states are f_d by a tyranny of the majority. What they’re saying the Bill of Rights isn’t worth the parchment it’s printed on.

Mission Possible?

A Queens senior citizen who shot dead a man who tried to rob him will spend four years in prison after admitting to toting an unlicensed revolver — as his lawyer ripped the city’s “draconian” gun laws. [More]

Good morning, Ms. Dhillon. Your mission, should you choose to accept it…

BFF at ATF

Gun rights groups hail Trump’s pick to lead ATF: ‘First ever truly pro-Second Amendment nominee’ [More]

A true champion of the Second Amendment, eh? I wonder what Fletcher thinks.

He’ll be a DOJ team player. This is how the team plays:

Can We All Get Along?

Habba has presented a high public profile as a lawyer and a campaign surrogate in candidate Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential race. She first emerged as one of his defense attorneys and spokespersons in his New York civil cases. [More]

So this Lisa lunatic is another violent Democrat triggered by inflammatory rhetoric…?

Going for Broker

The Department of Justice is continuing the prosecution of Tim Durkin of Durkin Tactical. Durkin was charged with “engaging in the business” of selling firearms, without making a single gun sale. [Watch]

Are they trying to alienate gun owners before the midterms?

Leaving gun owners wondering if the Trump administration is bipolar or just frauds is not a winning formula for inspiring voters, donors, and volunteers.

Gee, I really hope no angry MAGA fashionista demands to know if I’d rather have Kamala Harris.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

But wait! There’s more!

Meanwhile, Over at ‘the Most Pro-Gun Administration in History’…

Bodell’s lengthy report details how he took parts off of a live RPG in order to make Adamiak’s inert RPGs, which he labeled as Exhibit 30, fire an AK round. [More]

All that’s missing were chains, zip ties and duct tape!

Where the hell is Harmeet Dhillon?

One Step Forward and Three Steps Back

Is There a Hidden Meaning in DOJ’s Position on Mag Bans? [Watch]

Let me get this straight: The “pro-gun” DOJ will defend magazines (because they believe bans are unconstitutional or because they think SCOTUS will rule against them?) but still demands license/registration requirements to carry and possess firearms and ammunition…?

If there’s a hidden meaning, they’re not hiding it very well. That seems kind of in-your-face…

And yeah, I’m vulnerable to being sucked in just like most gun owners.

“Full might” my… eye.

How Can We Be Expected to Know Who NOT to Persecute?

This Court enjoined Defendant from enforcing the challenged federal criminal and regulatory provisions as to the organizational Plaintiffs, but Defendant does not know to whom the injunction applies because membership information is exclusively within the possession and control of the organizational Plaintiffs, who do not want to share it with the federal government. [More]

Mean old gun rights groups!

What part of “the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” does AG Bondi not understand?

Speaking of Using Full Might

But…but…but the memorandum…

It’ll be interesting to see how this gets spun as a good thing…

Mag Dump

In a filing in the DC Court of Appeals last month in a criminal matter, the United States moved to vacate the appellant’s conviction under D.C. Code § 7-2506.01(b) for possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device, because “[i]t is the United States’s position that § 7-2506.01(b) is unconstitutional.” The DOJ also says they would not charge a similarly situated defendant today. [More]

I’d say it’s about time, but that’s on previous administrations.

We should let this one know it’s done good.

More 2A ‘Task Force’ Treason

But as shown, the Government’s efforts to defend the panel’s decision are all unpersuasive. And the starkness of the Seventh Circuit’s departure from this Court’s precedent— combined with the peculiar and anomalous nature of the restrictions on short-barreled rifles at issue—in fact make this case a particularly suitable vehicle for resolving one or more of these fundamental methodological questions. [More]

So, why is “pro-gun” Pam Bondi’s Justice Department arguing otherwise?

Not that I expect any of the gun groups to resolve these things at a round table that doesn’t exist and they won’t ask for…
