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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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…

We’re Back to Pre-Fast and Furious, Aren’t We?

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.
