From the People Running the ‘Second Amendment Task Force’

Government Opposes Compassionate Release of Gun Tuber Matthew Hoover For Terminal Medical Condition [More]

Read this. Let your blood boil. Then ask yourself why Pam Bondi, the ATF’s new supposedly “pro-gun” Chief Counsel, and that DOJ Civil Rights honcho we’ve been hearing such hopeful things about are going to allow this tyranny to continue.

Because they’ve been pulling this crap of modifying seized property into “illegality” for a long time. And again. And again.

And it’s not like they have legitmate delegated authority even if the items worked without forced engineering.

Anti-Gun Judge’s Ruling Highlights Democrat Protection of ‘Undocumented Voters’

Federal court ruling by radical judge strikes down executive action on election integrity as polls show 83% of Americans favor citizenship verification requirements. [More]

So, Democrats: Would you then agree that requiring ID as a prior restraint disenfranchises gun owners?

Fine Words

Let’s hope we see fine actions.

I’d feel better if the “Task Force” wasn’t all being fed by the same hand.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Find Out What It Means to Me

I want you out there in the Second Amendment movement to hear what I’m saying, observe what the Trump administration is doing in terms of enforcing Title 9 against universities and governmental agencies that are thumbing their noses at civil rights, because we can derive lessons from what the Trump administration is doing, lessons from the remedies being sought, lessons from the remedies being imposed upon, in this case, the University of Pennsylvania, and we can draw analogies and come up with new ways for we in the Second Amendment community to basically try to get the Trump administration to do to, for example, those law enforcement agencies that refuse to respect our Second Amendment rights. So, for the purpose of this discussion, remove the words ‘University of Pennsylvania’ in your mind and insert, for example, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department or some other local law enforcement agency, maybe the New York Police Department that issues licenses, insert them in there and then let’s talk about the remedies. [Watch]

Validating precedent for the licensing of a right that “shall not be infringed” is a remedy? This will make those agencies “respect our Second Amendment rights”?

Yeah, trust me, I understand “incrementalism.”

I also carried for 30 years in L.A. without any damn “permit,” so, as always, I never expect personal considered choices from anyone I’m not willing to expect of myself.

FOIA Request Seeks to Determine DOJ Decision-Making for Firearms Disability Relief Actions

It’s with an eye toward determining how these 10 choices were selected for DOJ’s initial offering that prompted this FOIA request. [More]

Let’s see if the new, improved “Second Amendment Task Force” DOJ will be any better at responding to these things than it was under the Biden regime.

About ‘Our Beautiful Second Amendment’…

Trump administration says machine guns aren’t protected by Second Amendment [More]

Juxtapose that against this.

Either Jennifer Case didn’t get the memo or we have another inevitable embarassment that comes from leaving gun owners out of the “Task Force.”

Then again, if the position is not retracted, there’s a third possibility:

Spanberger’s Attacks on 2nd Amendment Should Galvanize Gun Owners to Unite Against Her

If elected governor, Spanberger threatens to enact every infringement that comes across her desk, whereas Earle-Sears will serve as a veto bulwark against Democrat excesses. [More]

Virginia gun owners have a clear choice. Less clear is how much they’re willing to do about it.

TheTask at Hand

We recognize the success of this Task Force will be vital. To that end, we promise to use our own resources to support the Task Force and collaborate with this administration in whatever way possible. We will stand beside you in Second Amendment litigation. We will provide administrative expertise as you decide how best to reform federal regulations in this area. [More]

That’s great, but aren’t some key people not being included?

Trump to NRA

As much as I criticize the guy and believe he specializes in self-aggrandizement over sincerity, I can’t argue that he has initiated unprecedented actions and more are on the way. All those actions will ultimately prove temporary and reversible if the Republicans can’t get their act together, and part of that problem is on us as gun owners, and how involved we’re willing to get pressing them to do the right thing.

And I gotta ask: Bob Barr?

The Status Quo

“Effective immediately, Special Agents in Charge (SACs) approval and Deputy Assistant Director (DAD) concurrence is now mandatory for all NICS alerts. NICS alerts may only be utilized in cases involving suspected violations of federal firearm statutes…” [More]

You know, the ones the F0unders would have approved of.

Michigan Says ‘Hold Our Beer’ on Red Flag Due Process Concerns

But it’s also that part of the law that worries Second Amendment advocates who have long voiced opposition to the law on several fronts, including the statute’s effect on gun owners who are not the subject of the actual order — such as the parents of a 6-year-old named in an extreme risk protection order.

What’s To Decide?

The matter began when Philpotts, while facing rape charges, was convicted of a weapons charge in 2018. The charge, possessing weapons under disability, often means a person convicted of a violent crime cannot have a firearm. In Philpotts’ case, he was merely accused of a violent crime. The rape charges against him were later dropped, but his firearm conviction remained. [More]

That would appear to be a no-brainer. Unfortunately, we’re dealing with no gunsers.
