I don’t suppose you’re entitled to see what they said, and maybe use the transcript in a libel suit? If so, do they need to be warned that anything they say can and will be used against them in a court of law?

We’re the Only Ones Blitzing Enough
During the Illinois State Police’s firearm enforcement blitz this summer, 295 people in southern Illinois were brought into compliance with Illinois gun laws. [More]
A blitzkrieg. How appropriate.
Disarmed by the latest confiscation made possible by FOID? No worries, ISP says you can always put your fingers down your throat and vomit!
Good thing for them they don’t have to try to get the guns from all those people who didn’t fill out no damn cards!

Song of Solomon
The Solomon Islands government has reportedly threatened to ban foreign journalists from entering the Pacific nation if they are not “respectful” or if they engage in “racial profiling” in stories about the country’s ties with China. [More]
So my uncle who helped liberate them at great personal cost and then went on to fight the Chicoms would not be welcome there?

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.

There are so many excellently right-on points that I’m not even going to pick a teaser paragraph. Vin Suprynowicz continues to demonstrate that he is one of our most observant and lucid commentators. I invite those who agree with me to share his link far and wide.

What’s that saying about assumptions? I know I kneejerk made them.
As objectionable as the reality still is, it’s important for us to be precise.

Sensitive, Aren’t We?
In response to the Supreme Court’s ruling, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on July 1 signed a law that criminalizes the concealed carry of guns in airports, houses of worship, Times Square and other sensitive places, prompting a swift legal challenge. Gun Owners of America is one of several plaintiffs who are urging a federal judge in Syracuse to block the New York law before it takes effect on Sept. 1. [More]
Not satisfied with a patchwork quilt of “gun-free zones,” Hochul & Co. are going for a Rubik’s Cube.
I see Stephen Stamboulieh got ink.
So Much for ‘Shall Not be Infringed’…
ATF has posted the following corrections to the Final Rule which appeared in the Federal Register on April 26, 2022. The Final Rule, with these corrections, is effective in two days, August 24, 2022. This set of updates provides technical corrections to the Final Rule. [More]
What do you think the Founders would have had to say about this?

From the Department of Retroactive Crime
“The current president should not be able to waive the executive privilege of a predecessor, without the consent of the former president. Otherwise, [privilege] means nothing. What president will ever discuss anything in private if he knows the man who beat him can and will disclose it.” [More]
Like Precrime, only with hindsight!

Maloney Baloney
The first, the Firearm Industry Fairness Act, mandates a new 20 percent tax on total revenue of firearm manufacturers who make MSRs, or the AR-15-style semiautomatic rifles she erroneously calls “assault weapons” … The second bill, the Firearm Industry Crime and Trafficking Accountability Act, would make it a requirement that every firearm manufacturer create a tracking database system that allows them to track crimes committed with guns they have sold. [More]
Here’s the takeaway:
The bill has no chance of becoming law.
The evil old rhymes-with-blunt doesn’t care whose rights she tramples on as long as it gets her power over others.

For That Day When the Collar Comes Off
On Monday, ATF announced Ruling 2022-1, signed August 17, 2022, authorizing FFLs to retain an electronic version of each ATF Form 4473, provided the method of digital storage and conditions of the ruling are met. Retail FFLs seeking to eliminate paper and take advantage of the new ruling must comply with ATF Ruling 2016-2 and subsequent rulings. [More]

We’re the Only Ones Perjuring Enough
The FBI told a federal magistrate judge that it intended to open hundreds of safe deposit boxes seized during a March 2021 raid in order to inventory the items inside—but new evidence shows that federal agents were plotting all along to use the operation as an opportunity to forfeit cash and other valuables. [More]

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla explains Pfizer’s new tech to Davos crowd: “ingestible pills” – a pill with a tiny chip that send a wireless signal to relevant authorities when the pharmaceutical has been digested. “Imagine the compliance,” he says [More]
Now imagine the noncompliance.
Imagine it is armed.

I continue to shake my head at the number of gun owners who don’t grok the basics. And I’m not surprised that they rolled on the next guy.

None Dare Call It Treason
The op-ed advocates doing away entirely with the Constitution. Why? The authors don’t quite put it this way, but the reason is that the Constitution fails to establish a pure democracy by plebiscite, and makes it difficult to use a transient majority to effect radical change. [More]
Then those who would rule us and who control all major means of communication wouldn’t need to just ignore it anymore.
It figures The New York Times would publish such a subversive screed. As for the ivory tower Harvard and Yale apparatchiks, when useful idiots are no longer needed, that which they’re helping bring into being generally finds a suitable place for “new people.”
