Commonsense LEGO Safety Laws

“We’re here to talk about a roughly one-inch piece of plastic. It looks innocuous enough, a little like a LEGO or a k’nex block. But this one-inch piece of plastic is killing people,” said Leigha Simonton, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas. “Machine gun conversion devices can turn Second Amendment-protected firearms into illegal weapons of war, and petty criminals into brutal killers. We cannot have our streets turned into war zones.” [More]

So the federal government has the authority to ban a one-inch piece of plastic– just like the Founders intended. And it’s killing people… does this broad ever listen to herself?

What the hell does Simpleton think “Second Amendment-protected firearms” were intended to be?

For the Children

However, she neglected to mention that the documents disclosed were not patient charts, were redacted to protect sensitive patient information, and complied with HIPAA, which permits anonymized information to be disclosed generally, and even protected information can be publicized if it’s used to stop egregious medical misconduct. [More]

Prosecutor Tina Ansari sounds like a vicious piece of… work.

It’s like the DOJ attracts sadists who get off on terrorizing anyone they can victimize, and especially anyone who recognizes them for what they are.

The March of Progress

Attorney General Delivers Remarks at ATF’s Third Annual Chiefs of Police Executive Forum on Crime Guns … First: our work is far from over. Progress is only progress. Our work is not done until all Americans feel safe in their communities. [More]

Boy, talk about slopping the hogs…

What have we learned about “progress“? And “feelings“?

Speaking of which, I don’t feel safe knowing these official swineherds can dispatch their JBTs out to flashbang my house at 3 a.m. if they think I have arms reserved for “Only Ones,” and execute any family member who so much as twitches…

We so dodged a bullet…

The People’s House

Cell phone location records put Lucas inside the Capitol building the afternoon of the riots, according to the documents, as do multiple photos taken from the event. He was reportedly inside the building for 14 minutes, during which time he was seen taking a photo with a statue of former President Ronald Reagan. [More]

Sounds like “insurrection” to me!

“About the U.S. Capitol“:

The building is known as the “The People’s House” because members of Congress represent the American people.

So they were checking up on their employees…?

Of Little Import?

Frank Ross Talbert, 40, a Lieutenant Colonel with U.S. Army Explosives Ordinance Disposal (EOD) assigned to Fort Campbell, is facing federal criminal charges after law enforcement officers conducted an investigation and executed multiple search warrants uncovering evidence that Talbert unlawfully imported firearms parts from Russia and other countries, unlawfully dealt in firearms without a federal firearms license, and committed multiple firearms violations related to the possession of machineguns… [More]

Disregarding for a moment that we all should be able to do that, I’m wondering how he thought he could without getting caught and if he exploited his official position in any way to do it.

Or is this just an hysterical way of painting snaring him with some technicalities?

Clear and Present Danger

“Stunning On Multiple Levels”: DOJ Admits To Evidence Tampering In Trump Classified Docs Case [More]

They can’t let him win.

And by “him” I mean “us.”

Expect ruthlessness from those immersed in the psychopathy of power and following orders, to him, and to anyone determined to expose those responsible. If lawfare doesn’t work, don’t expect the enemy to call it a day.

I wonder if they already have a “greatest threat” patsy picked out…

Now pray that I’m wrong. Because I sure do.

Marxine Wants You Dead

Maxine Waters Calls on DOJ to Investigate Trump Supporters ‘Training Up in the Hills’ for Civil War [More]

As opposed to Maxine Waters supporters training for another “defining moment in the way that black people resisted“…?

And funny, how “insurrectionists of color” are social justice champions in this racist b!+ch’s world…

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.
