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…

The Man Who Would Be King

How instructive to see “New York’s very own” PIX 11 pay so much attention to noted subject matter expert East Harlem resident Arlene on this.

“I think they shouldn’t be learning that on no video,” indeed.

So Fat Alvin presumes the power to coerce rules affecting the entire world… Hey, if you believe you don’t have to respect the Second Amendment, why should the First give you any problems?

Not that Google respects either.

The Time is Ripe

SAF files brief with Supreme Court in challenge to Illinois semi-auto ban… “Given the ongoing resistance to the core reasoning of Heller and Bruen, (we) respectfully submit that the existence of so many other similar cases cuts in favor of granting certiorari now,” the brief states. [More]

If not now, when?

What’s that saying about a right delayed…?

An Age-Old Question

The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania has handed a significant victory to the Second Amendment Foundation and young adults in the 18-20-year age group, allowing them to apply for concealed carry licenses in the state, while enjoining the state from arresting any law-abiding citizens in that age group for openly carrying firearms during a state of emergency.

If we’re going to go with text, history, and tradition, Pennsylvanian Tench Coxe would have gone down to 16… and no permit needed.

Four Legs Good, Two Legs Bad

Every day is Opposite Day with these totalitarian hive insects.

UPDATE

And this is known as “false authority.”

On top of that, he’s full of $h!+. His handwringing is no different than the “Dodge City! Blood in the streets!” hysteria the antis have been consistently proven wrong about on concealed carry.

The FASTER program for armed school staff is a proven success.

F-in’ leftist moron…

Thank God Almighty, We’re Free at Last!

This NSSF-supported law protects the privacy and sensitive financial information of people purchasing firearms and ammunition in Iowa. [More]

I sure am seeing a lot of breathless hyperbole over blocking Merchant Category Codes

So they’re switching from NICS to BIDS…?

And maybe change that to “law-abiding people.” Criminals already have those advantages.

One Question

Look at all the defiant Americans in comments telling you in no uncertain terms that “We will not disarm.” Pass your treasonous ban and resistance will only grow stronger.

How many of your countrymen are you willing to order your enforcers to kill if they refuse to bend to your will?

A question’s no good unless you ask it.

Rocky Mountain Low

In a late-night vote on Saturday, gun-grabbers in the Colorado House of Representatives passed three bills infringing on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. [More]

Not that “insurance” (which they call “murder insurance” if you get it on your own) will cover actual murder, or that this isn’t just a plot to harass and close down dealers, or that the real sin isn’t coveting your countrymen’s rights…

And, of course, it won’t affect this one bit, but then again, that’s never been the point.

UPDATE

Colorado Politics has more.

We’re the Only Ones Inspecting Enough

NYC buildings commissioner wants inspectors to make arrests, carry guns [More]

What was it Mr. Mason had to say…?

I ask, Who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers.

Everything these statist bastards do repudiates the intent of the Framers.

New Biden Rule Makes ‘Buybacks’ Potential Seller Traps

An email I sent out this morning to my “small cadre” of advisors:

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-04-19/pdf/2024-07838.pdf

“The definition of ‘to predominantly earn a profit’ now focuses only on whether the intent underlying the sale or disposition of firearms is predominantly one of obtaining pecuniary gain… ’ to define the terms ‘purchase’ and ‘sale’ as they apply to dealers to include any method of payment or medium of exchange for a firearm…”

Did they just tank anonymous “buybacks” with “no questions asked”? I know some gun owners publicize selling cheap junk for a profit… I don’t see a carve out for buybacks in the text (albeit I only did a word search and have not pored through the whole mess).

It turns out Armed Attorneys addressed that in a video Len Savage sent me the link to, along with this observation:

Fun fact: The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was touted to close the “gun show loophole” to prevent buying a firearm without a background check,

However; There is NOTHING in the rule (based on the law passed) that effects or applies to a BUYER.

NOTHING!

Meaning it would only affect the seller of a firearm to a buyback program.

Don’t take my word on it, here are two attorneys discussing it.

The relevant section starts at 8:12:

So it looks like they outsmarted themselves, and now need to ignore their own rule.

So, every time the antis hold a buyback, why not loudly complain and warn people they’re being invited to violate “commonsense gun safety laws”?

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.

Happy Patriots Day

From your friends at”AFT”… [More]

I always observed it on April 19 to celebrate armed citizens resisting tyranny, but I guess some do it on the third Monday of April, which in this case was tax deadline day, which seems to miss some key points.

Speaking if missing key points, this was how the Biden White House celebrated it:

And They Say There Are No Stupid Questions…

California law bars non-residents from carrying a gun. Does that violate the Second Amendment? [More]

No one who is not a prohibitionist would even ask.

Or as Democrat Roger Taney wrote when horrified at the prospect of Dred Scott being considered a citizen:

“It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State … and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.”

Wait… that last link is from Oath Keepers…? What are racist Nazi rightwing insurrectionists doing defending rights for all…?

Gun Store Owner Defends Approval of Biden Background Check Rule

One would think a Federal Firearms Licensee would be in tune with gun owner reasons and sentiments for Second Amendment absolutism, especially one whose website advertises “we specialize in Paramilitary weapons, military weapons, pistols, etc.” And one would think he would be aware of and responsive to mounting criticism from gun owners angered by his public statements, evidenced by comments under the WJAC article, but especially, on his Facebook. [More]

A bloviating gunkapo finds out pretty quickly his 15 minutes of fame weren’t worth it and is now trying to cover his tracks.

Standard Fare

NSSF REPORT REVEALS FIREARM MAGAZINES WITH CAPACITY OVER 10 ROUNDS IS NATIONAL STANDARD [More]

I see some “gunfluencers” breathlessly celebrating the end of magazine bans, as if we’re dealing with an enemy that gives up, and as if Democrat judges won’t just ignore what they all know anyway.

And once more we’re seeing “in common use at the time” accepted as a popularity contest for “allowed” guns.

Anyone recall seeing that qualifier included in the wording of the Second Amendment?

A Temporary Respite

…we have received word from our attorney in the state case that the Oregon Appeals Court has denied the state’s request and as such, Measure 114, along with all its intended and very evil consequences remains “on hold” and not in force. [More]

Don’t uncork the champagne just yet:

But we are long way from having this nightmare behind us.

Now is NOT the time to relax.

AP Puff Piece on New Biden Background Check Rule Hides Dangers to Freedom

Curious how much less “gun violence” there was in this country before Democrats started imposing all this “progress.” [More]

Once more we’re being lied to, and the biggest ally would-be totalitarians have in imposing their treachery are complicit Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists.

The Fuddy Professor

Can students get their tuition back?

I wonder if anyone still has a copy of the course syllabuses, assignments, and tests to establish the depth of his Second Amendment focus…
