The Importance of Being Ernst

The senator is requesting that Garland provide details about the ATF investigations, including how the organization establishes probable cause to conduct these visits, as well as whether they obtain a warrant. She also called on the ATF to reveal how many “knock and talks” they have conducted since the ramp-up began in late July. The letter requests that Garland responds within 30 days. [More]

And if he doesn’t? Or just sends back some weasel words that paint the JBTs as heroes out there protecting us from racist domestic extremists? Hell, Eric Holder told a Republican Congress to go **** themselves and he’s still out there being in-your-face about everything.

This is more like Ernst trying to bolster/reestablish gun creds with the uninformed and those with short memories.

Requiescat in Pace

The Arizona Citizens Defense League sadly announces the passing of its founding President and chief lobbyist, Dave Kopp. Dave succumbed to a 12-year battle with cancer on Wednesday, August 24th. [More]

A champion has passed. Let us remember him with gratitude for his willingness and ability to bear those loads on our behalf that so many will not. Let us reflect on the qualities of character he personified and strive to exhibit them ourselves.

Connected Insiders Signal Contempt and Lethal Intent for ‘Traditional Americans’

Talk about an inside player with connections to the major players in both parties. He has basically had access to everything. And in his “professional” opinion, Republicans are more dangerous, more violent, more extreme, and more contemptible than, ISIS or Al Qaeda. That’s to say more terroristic, and if that’s to be believed, more deserving of coordinated black ops search and destroy targeting and drone strikes, and more incarceration under Patriot Act “rules.” [More]

Yes, of course, they want to take your guns. And it’s got nothing to do with “commonsense safety” unless you’re talking about for tyrants.

Past Time if You Ask Me…

We need the South Carolina Republican Party to censure Graham for his sell out. [More]

This is for more than just “registered Republicans” and Palmetto State gun owners because what this guy does affects us all. The email option isn’t the only way to reach them. Pick one that works for you. And include others.

I’m starting with the head of the party.  And GOP National. And NRA

Like so

Gun-Owning Useful Idiot Beto Supporter Finalists

Which is why all the “gun pundits” celebrating “diversity” without factoring in voting patterns are fooling themselves and their followers. If owning a gun was all it took, we’d have no better pals than David Chipman and Lon Horiuchi.

And speaking of idiots

Risk-Free Usurpation

…Securities and Exchange Commission, chairman Gary Gensler remains undeterred in expanding the agency’s power beyond its constitutional boundaries. [More]

And the government continues to get away with in-your-face illegitimate power grabs with all means of civil redress being cut off. What’s that phrase everybody on the left freaked out over when Sharron Angle mentioned it?

Oh, yeah, “Second Amendment solutions…”

Funny, how Budowsky so admired the guy who said this

And thanks again, NRA “Political Victory Fund”! Frickin’ duplicitous sacks…

The Empire State Strikes Back

New York State Senate blocks citizens on Twitter, an unconstitutional move to crush dissent [More]

If you can eviscerate the Second Amendment with impunity, why would the First worry you? And it’s just fine, of course, with Twitter, which does the Democrats’ bidding in a fascist public/private partnership workaround. Besides, policy violations only result in expulsion for those deemed enemies of the regime.

A Little Something for the Fudds

The Firearm Industry Fairness Act would mean that “the family hunting rifle is not taxed at the same rate as an assault weapon, and would ensure that the firearm industry, like other industries in America, takes responsibility for the safety and misuse of its products,” Maloney said in a statement. [More]

Until someone, say, Carolyn Maloney, decides they’re “sniper rifles“…

A Plan Comes Together

ATF’s New ‘Ghost Gun’ Rules Are as Clear as Mud – The ATF used a lot of words that invite lawsuits and leave industry insiders baffled. [More]

That’s by design. Make things so complicated nobody can figure them out and be willing to take investment risks. Plus, fedgov has unlimited resources to tie challenges up in court for years and/or until the Democrats can pass bulletproof legislation.

Someone’s Gotta Do It

Two gun rights organizations filed federal court lawsuits Thursday challenging bans on semi-automatic weapons and magazine ammunition restrictions adopted by two Colorado cities after the state allowed local municipalities to enact tougher gun control measures than called for by state law. The lawsuits against Boulder and Louisville by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and the National Foundation for Gun Rights follow two others the groups lodged against the state and county over similar gun control measures.

Speaking of Toxic Messengers…

If tyrants don’t respect the Second, why should the First bother them any?

Plaintiff lacks standing…Bruen is the wrong person to sue…plaintiff hasn’t shown injury… the plaintiff hasn’t shown a likelihood of winning… [More]

Everything to dance around and obscure the indisputable fact that these m***********g tyrannical New York a******s are denying a fundamental right to We the People under force of arms with full intent to bring an up-to-lethal hammer down on the head of anyone who disobeys.

With ‘Republicans’ Like These…

“[The bill] protects the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens while also providing the opportunity for those suffering from mental illness to get the help and treatment they need before tragedy occurs,” Dolan said. [More]

Change that to “Dolan lied.”

I’ve touched on this tool before. I may just expand on this latest subversive and pathetic bid for attention after clearing out my existing queue.

Stop 114

The measure essentially ends the sale of all firearms in Oregon for the foreseeable future and bans the sales of most shotguns and all standard capacity magazines forever. Possession of those items outside your home will be a criminal offense. If you are caught in possession of a standard capacity magazine INSIDE your home you will be required to prove that you had it before the law went into effect. There will be no presumption of innocence. [More]

If you’re an Oregon gun owner, consider this a muster call willingness test.

Key Questions

The ATF claims that Hoover conspired with Ervin to sell lightning links. They further contended, quite audaciously, that raising money for Ervin’s legal defense was part of that conspiracy on the theory that, if Ervin won his case, Hoover would be able to advertise the card again. The ATF admits that Hoover never sold any cards but maintains that, since he promoted the AutoKeyCard, he was also guilty.[More]

Tyrants don’t like the First Amendment any better than they do the Second. We’ll see if this “unravels.” Me, I don’t trust the referees.

They really do seem to have been piling up the in-your-face outrages of late, almost like they have expectations they’ll be able to keep squeezing. Either that or somebody is trying to provoke something so they have an excuse to go all out.
