The Break Down of The First Known ATF FRT Confiscation [More]
I continue to shake my head at the number of gun owners who don’t grok the basics. And I’m not surprised that they rolled on the next guy.
That said, I don’t think it’s fair to judge ATF Special Agent Chuck Donahoe until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in his jackboots.

Together they created Richmond’s first drive-thru gun buyback program where people drove up with their unloaded guns in their trunks for officials to evaluate. [More]
If people like widows who know nothing about guns want to participate, how do they safely determine they’re unloaded? And as for the contention that “research into whether the efforts led to a reduction in gun violence remains unclear,” how many more decades and thousands of events need to be observed and analyzed before we have a testable hypothesis? And before proponents can honestly claim “success,” huge or otherwise?
On top of everything else, it appears you and I paid for it.

Louisiana Sheriff Loses Tax Lawsuit Targeting Smith Angus Farm [More]
I see the sheriff bills himself as a “Republican”… I guess he stuck a wet finger in the air to see which way the wind was blowing, but at heart, we know what he’ll always be.
And he’s done one other thing that may be actionable:

…Johnson was appealing to the people the government has painted as terrorists and they without hesitation went to help him to help get the officers out. He didn’t fear appealing to those guys. That sort of blows up a lot of the narrative that has been pitched against the Oathkeepers. [More]
Has anyone called on him to testify under oath?

Months after deputies raided police department, missing money suddenly found in evidence room [More]
Now, now. I’m sure there’s a logical explanation for this. After all, based on “gun-free zone” and other exemptions, they are deemed more trustworthy to have a gun than you and I.
And remember, “Back the Green!”

A former Clay County Sheriff’s Department Deputy was arrested Wednesday following accusations of using another individual’s identity on social media. [More]
I’d love to know what they mean by “derogatory comments.”
With that felony charge, it looks like he’ll be going to more than Facebook Jail…

Sorry, I do typos too. It just struck me as funny. [More]
It also strikes me that an “A” grade from Giffords is no indication of what someone who wants to ignore their infringements can do.

Broad carry rights probably make states safer, but to the extent there is some hesitancy to draw the conclusion absolutely, such laws certainly have some deterrent effects with no proven increase of violence. [More]
This is kind of like a “For a fat girl you don’t sweat much” compliment, but since these guys are “Only Ones,” consider it a win.

Agents actually fired their guns accidentally more often than they fired them in the field according to an audit by Treasury… [More]
Yeah, but the important thing is they went above and beyond being “willing to use deadly force, if necessary” by being willing to use it when unnecessary!
RELATED UPDATE
Practice makes perfect… [More]
A deputy sheriff in Calaveras County was arrested last month for allegedly being an addict in possession of a firearm… Ball has a history of alcohol and opiate abuse, investigators say, adding that he’d recently relapsed. [More]
So they knew he was an out-of-control armed junkie who by law is not allowed to have a gun? And turned him loose on the rest of us?
The sheriff is saying “investigators discovered…” about multiple rehab attempts, but the way this is carefully worded avoids the question of if they were in the dark about his condition from the outset.
