Justice Department FOIA Response on Permanent Entry to NICS Ignores Key Requests

What all those pages in the FOIA response did not do is provide what was being asked for. [More]

I wonder why they won’t share where they get the authority to strong-arm permanent gun disabilities without due process and that are not statutorily authorized from…

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]

You really can’t stop the signal.

We’re the Only Ones Optional Enough

TFOs employed by a law enforcement agency that mandates the use of BWCs on federal task forces MAY wear and activate their recording equipment [emphasis added]… [More]

Which presupposes “may not” …

The Final Word?

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives 27 CFR Part 478 [Docket No. ATF 2022R–17; AG Order No. 5920–2024] RIN 1140–AA58 Definition of ‘‘Engaged in the Business’’ as a Dealer in Firearms AGENCY: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Department of Justice. ACTION: Final rule. [More]

I wouldn’t call it “final.”

This isn’t over by a long shot.

Can We All Get Along?

Yet according to our Attorney General and FBI Director, we’re the greatest threat.

It’s All in the Optics

Garland’s comments come in an election year when violent crime is a major campaign issue, and one that Biden’s opponent, former President Donald Trump has attacked him on.  [More]

By their motivation ye shall know them.

And guess what they deliberately don’t mention when they assure us violent crime is down.

DOJ Reconsiders Denial of Documents in Hunter Biden-Related NICS Permanent Entry Consent Suit

Does the DOJ have the power to create new classes of “prohibited persons” outside of what is statutorily defined? [More]

First they said they had no pages. Now they say they have 350. So what’s on those pages, and will any establish they are authorized to redefine”prohibited person” disqualifiers?

FOIA Seeks Information from DOJ on National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center

Who the DOJ is partnering with and how their activities are lawful in light of the Supreme Court’s latest ruling on the Second Amendment are of particular interest. [More]

I don’t think anyone’s ever asked them to provide documents showing how they figure their actions are consistent with Bruen before.

Busting Morons for Headlines

A Cleveland man who made thousands of dollars by buying and selling guns used in shootings and homicides said little on Tuesday as a federal judge sentenced him to more than 11 years in prison. Kenneth Smith, 23, apologized for selling 32 guns to undercover federal agents in less than three weeks, netting $24,000. The guns had been used in 30 shootings, including several homicides. [More]

The rest of the story is paywalled and the only other thing I could find is he did all this while being a “prohibited person” himself:

KENNETH SMITH, 23, East Cleveland, was charged with Engaging in the Business of Dealing Firearms without a Federal Firearms License, Illegal Possession of a Machinegun, and being a Felon in Possession of Firearms.

It does raise the question why they needed to drag it out over 32 guns and three weeks when one sale could have done the trick, and for some reason a South Park bust comes to mind (NSFW).

Thank an A-Rated Republican ‘Compromiser’

Several of you have sent in various tips on this.

I’ll be doing something on it soon.

It’s All the Rage

Our research was cited in a new book on “white rural rage.” But the authors got the research wrong. [More]

What does truth have to do with it?

Also backing up Merrick Garland’s/Chris Wray’s “Greatest Threat” malicious libel is Rob “My Precious Goo!” Reiner’s latest Leni Riefenstahl Award contender branding “Christian Nationalists” candidates for what is done with undesirables…

“Live and let live” will soon be used as an admission of guilt.
