About That Future Swarms of Officers Field Trip

Fact Check-Photos do not show IRS recruiting or training program for thousands of new armed agents [More]

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.

That said, let’s look at the ones who aren’t accounting students on a day trip:

IRS Agents Accidentally Discharged Guns More Often than They Intentionally Fired Them

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.

So here’s why she’s doing it.

The evil old rhymes-with-blunt doesn’t care whose rights she tramples on as long as it gets her power over others.

Not that Nadler’s any better…

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]

Yeah, Pamela Scott says her phone is full…

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]

So: Who’s going to jail?

Imagine

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.

YIKES! World Economic Forum Claims ‘Solid, Rational Reasons’ for Microchipping Children [More]

Think of it as real-time inventory management. You never know when Klaus Schwab will want to order one up and see what’s available for immediate delivery.

Coming Soon, To a Neighborhood Near You

The Break Down of The First Known ATF FRT Confiscation [More]

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.

That said, I don’t think it’s fair to judge ATF Special Agent Chuck Donahoe until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in his jackboots.

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.”

Just Deserts

Think The FBI Deserves The Benefit Of The Doubt? This Laundry List Of Corruption Should Make You Think Again [More]

Let’s just say I think they deserve full due process after being frog-marched to booking and having their assets frozen.

I heard an interesting factoid the other day, that the FBI considered It’s a Wonderful Life subversive, with elements of communist propaganda techniques, which is pretty ironic seeing as how Jimmy Stewart later starred in the blatantly propagandistic The FBI Story, going after domestic commies. And that guy was a mixed bag– no doubt about it, he put himself on the line in WWII, but then was persuaded to undermine RKBA along with some other names that may surprise those who don’t already know.

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…

Without a Trace

Boxes of paper records fill nearly every corridor of the ATF’s National Tracing Center, where agents are struggling to keep up with surging requests from local police. [More]

Still singing the same old song…

What they want, of course, is a national registry database traceable to legal purchasers that will by design exclude the illegal ones. Who but a deplorable hate-filled racist Nazi white supremacist could be against that?
