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.

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”?

She sounds like she gets it and is sincere.
It takes a lot to get me to give her that.

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.
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:
Guns kept in your car can be considered as carrying in public, MN court rules [More]
Because the Founders couldn’t have imagined private conveyances…
Minnesota gun owners: don’t count on “pro-gun” Democrats to save you.

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…?
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.

A bloviating gunkapo finds out pretty quickly his 15 minutes of fame weren’t worth it and is now trying to cover his tracks.
“Assault Weapons Ban” Advances to the Senate [More]
Of course they know this will end up in court. But they have all the money in the world to tie things up until Republicans blow it and Democrats can stack SCOTUS to reverse Bruen.

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?

…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.
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 Second Amendment Foundation has filed a memorandum supporting its motion for a preliminary injunction with a federal court in Pennsylvania in a challenge of the federal ban on gun ownership by medical marijuana users. [More]
Once more, Democrats support discrimination.
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…

During an interview with Univision that took place last Wednesday and aired on Tuesday, President Joe Biden stated that he would consider taking further executive action on guns and criticized 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump because Trump “famously told the NRA that, don’t worry, no one’s going to touch your guns” if Trump won.

I just wish I could believe him.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
“Well, the reservists are ready and willing, if Russkies are coming. They will be a big help for the regular army,” Saro declared. “If there will be new shooting ranges opened, the main reason is just to be ready and practice. It is pretty similar to our Civil Guard that was active before the wars. Then, besides reservist and military, there are hunters.” [More]
Yes, there’s plenty wrong with their “gun control” laws. That doesn’t mean we can’t learn from what they do right.
David Codrea says the quiet parts out-loud. [Listen]
Here’s yesterday’s Armed American Radio, in which I once more demonstrate my total unsuitability to coexist in a Democrat world.
Thing is, I ain’t going anywhere.
We are losing machine guns, folks, and we’re losing them every single day, and they’re never coming back most likely. [Watch]
As long as lawyers representing us continue to treat “in common use” as what’s commercially permitted instead of what’s deployed with, he’s right.
