Notes from the Resistance
The DOJ just filed a rebuttal of our Notice of Noncompliance calling out the ATF on their failure to comply with the court’s order to return FRTs. If we were hoping the new DOJ would do an about-face in this case, this ain’t it. The DOJ is arguing that FRTs stolen from gun owners can only be returned if they under go a background check. Absolutely not. [More]
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

About two weeks ago, Ms. Oyer was put on a working group to restore gun rights to people convicted of crimes, she said. [More]

See, it’s not “prickly” at all, Mel.
Well, maybe for NRA President “Lautenberg Bob” Barr…

Is Bondi Going to Deliver on 2A or Not? [More]
Well, she’s already missed the 30-day deadline.
We need to keep realistic expectations on what she can do and whaty she can’t do. That said, one thing she can is to stand down where they’re being d!cks in court.

You could do it for 2A — if you wanted to.

The entire Department of Justice is starting to file documents in courts basically saying, “Hey we want to put these fights involving the ATF on hold because we’re likely going to be reconsidering them and changing position in favor of the right to keep and be arms.” [Watch]
The federal government asked the Eleventh Circuit to postpone oral arguments in a lawsuit challenging the ATF pistol brace rule, saying that it needs time to review it pursuant to Trump’s Second Amendment executive order…
We’ll see…

Trump’s Second Amendment order is a good first step. It’s up to us to keep him on the path and walking in the right direction. [More]
There are things he can’t do and things he can. Let’s make sure the changes are meaningful.
Top DOJ official says FBI employees who ‘simply followed orders’ on Jan 6 investigations won’t be fired [More]
And here we thought the Nuremberg defense was no excuse.
Of more concern: Where are the agents who refused to obey unlawful orders?

What wasn’t included was where DOJ gets the authority to create a permanent entry to NICS without a conviction or other disqualifier as defined by law. They’re still not saying. [More]
Try stonewalling when they want information and see where that gets you.
Senate votes to confirm Pam Bondi as attorney general [More]
I guess now we see.
Biden’s DOJ makes a final anti-gun argument against the 2nd Amendment in a fight over whether guns can be banned in post offices. [Watch]
Boy, that’s a lot of “gun-free zones” in the land of the Second Amendment:
Now superimpose it over maps of schools, parks, government buildings, “sensitive areas”…
So… when confirmed, is Pam Bondi going to keep fighting for this?

A Justice Department interested in defending all rights could put a stop to that.

The Gun Owners of America were denied in their efforts to collect a $400,000 attorney fee in their successful work in challenging ATF’s bumpstock case. [More]
When writing an update on my case, I made a mistake on the title of my piece that is misleading. The judge’s order, as the text of the article states, was that “the plaintiffs shall file any motion for attorney’s fees.”
I signed a declaration for that last week to allow for the attorneys to submit their claim. We’ll now see if the ATF/DOJ under Trump still intends to fight gun owners tooth and nail.

Oregon’s far left legislature is now in full swing, as are their efforts to crush what’s left of the state. [More]
It would sure be nice if the Justice Department wasn’t so selective about which civil rights it will defend…
Not lost on observers was the hypocrisy of the FBI Director, who arrests citizens on federal gun charges, “gifting” a “Tommy Gun” to an Attorney General who prosecutes them… [More]
Just making sure they dotted all their “i’s” and crossed all their “t’s”… whether it’s real or not.
Oath Keepers founder Rhodes is barred from entering Washington or Capitol without court permission [More]
I guess that’s the difference between “commute” and “grant a full, complete and unconditional pardon”…
That said, it’s difficult to understand how this is anything more than an in-your-face by a leftist immigrant…
And, oh, look: The Justice Department can use its resources to protect rights.

How she ultimately conducts herself, despite her assurances to the Committee about resisting undue pressures from the White House, will reflect squarely on Donald Trump. He nominated her with full knowledge that her past actions rendered her unacceptable to many Second Amendment advocates counting on him to honor his campaign promises. [More]
So, it’s Bondi’s job as AG is to defend the law, regardless…? The Second Amendment is part of “the supreme Law of the Land.”
DOJ to Investigate State, Local Officials Who Block Immigration Enforcement – “…identify state and local laws, policies, and activities that are inconsistent with Executive Branch immigration initiatives, and, where appropriate, to take legal action to challenge the laws.” [More]
Gee, I wonder if there are any other areas of law where DOJ could help protect against state abuses…

In an executive order signed Monday evening, Trump has directed his own government to investigate the agency for its misconduct in the aftermath of the January 6th events. [More]
Can the FBI be far behind?
Democrat gaslighters are the ones sputtering in overwhelm overload for a change. But the ones who really have to be disoriented are establishment Republicans who’ve always been afraid of playing hardball.
[Via Michael G]
And here’s the punch:
Dems gotta be stunned…
I’d say things got significantly more dangerous for Trump, especially if it uncovers suppressed evidence leading to why the J6ers believed all those claims we’ve been assured were “baseless.”
