It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringed’ Is

Why are they illegal?

Why are people the state knows can’t be trusted with them allowed access to those of us who can be?

Gun Prohibitionists Siding with DOJ on NFA Registration

None of this is done to disparage recognized and deservedly lauded good and unprecedented positions being taken by DOJ that would, admittedly, never have happened under any other administration to date. But that does not require Second Amendment advocates to turn a blind eye to when those positions turn cognitively dissonant. [More]

“Friendly fire” can be more devastating than what’s coming from the enemy.

Credit Where Due

Today, both the federal Department of Justice and 26 states filed amicus briefs supporting CRPA’s challenge to California’s ammo ban. The DOJ filed an amicus brief supporting the plaintiffs in the case of Rhode v. Bonta. In addition, 26 states collaborated on an amicus brief also supporting the case. [More]

Acknowledge when they do good.

Maybe it’ll offset some of when they don’t.

Stones Left Unturned

The request was pretty straightforward. Rather than provide the information, however, the government chose to stonewall on the request. [More]

TTAG notices my latest about trying to get DOJ to define criteria for rights restoration And that’s a good observation they made, because in my first report about my FOIA request last April, I asked:

Under a Bondi DOJ that says it’s committed to “protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens,” will we see dutiful compliance and production of requested documents, or more of the trademark stonewalling the department has become notorious for in prior administrations?

One point of clarification that people who haven’t read the complaint seem to be getting stuck on: There’s no intrusiveness or 4A/privacy conflicts. The complaint, specifically asks the court to “Order Defendant to produce… non-exempt records responsive to Plaintiff’s FOIA request.”

As a quick aside, if I were a gun-grabber, I’d be heartened by the juvenile, ugly squabbling in comments over at AmmoLand and similar forums.

Switch Positions

Instead of a stocking filled with joy, Trump’s Department of Justice dumped lumps of coal in Knife Rights’ stocking with their disappointing response brief continuing their Biden-like anti-Second Amendment stance defending the unconstitutional Federal Switchblade Act. Despite the administration’s lukewarm Second Amendment support in some firearms cases, Trump’s DOJ still hasn’t got the memo that “shall not be infringed” means exactly that. This administration supports the Second Amendment with one hand but attempts to strip it with the other. [More]

So… it’s not just guns they’re bipolar about.

By Denying Information in FOIA Request, Pirro and DOJ Refuse to Define Restoration of Rights Eligibility

DOJ, despite publicizing its championing of rights restoration, officially disagrees. [More]

“What do we have to do to be considered?” seems a simple enough question gun owners who put this administration in office deserve an answer to.

Once More Unto the Breach

Remember this?

DOJ to Illinois Gun Owners: Write Your Democrat Legislators to Repeal Infringements

Points brought to the DOJ’s attention in the FOID card complaint:

  • The reason for the law was to dissuade minorities (specifically African Americans during a time of racial riots/unrest and distrust amongst racial groups and law enforcement) from seeking police permission to legally own firearms.
  • Funding for FOID cards and carry licenses is used now as a “piggy bank” by the IL General Assembly to fund other projects, leading to delays in processing (with a documented case of a 20-month wait).
  • A woman with no criminal record was charged with a crime for possessing a single-shot rifle in her home without a FOID.

And, of course, the government punted.

Well, now that DOJ has announced it’s new Second Amendment Rights Section, the complaint has been resubmitted to see if it gets different results this time around.

My prediction is they’re still using the same soft soap.

Enraged Mutant Ninja Turtles

The Turtle Island Liberation Front—a far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government, and anti-capitalist group—was preparing to conduct a series of bombings against multiple targets in California beginning on New Year’s Eve. The group also planned to target ICE agents and vehicles. [More]

C’mon, “Greatest Threat,” step it up or we’re going to lose the title…

And tell me somebody’s working on a Franklin meme…

And how is THIS not a violation of “community standards“?

People They Can Work With?

Well, I was the one complaining about not enough outsiders on the “Task Force”…

But…But…But ‘Shall Not Be Infringed’…

The court noted that Peterson failed to demonstrate that the NFA’s requirements imposed an unconstitutional burden on him. [More]

Y’ever get the feeling that now they’re just f_ing with us?

Mr. Wolf has a caution (NSFW) for everyone celebrating how much Pam and Harmeet love us.

Misplaced Sympathies?

Gun control laws disproportionately harm minorities, women, and the poor — the people who benefit most from being able to protect themselves. [More]

Oh, you mean the ones who disproportionately vote for citizen disarmament and Marxists, and who, if allowed, will enable tyrants to drag us all down to their level and worse?

As for the “new and improved” 2A civil rights group, how will it differ in reducing bipolarity from the purposely exclusive 2A Task Force? And couldn’t you also make the case that infringements DOJ is still pursuing also disproportionately harm the useful idiots intent on dragging us down?

‘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.
