Did somebody tell “Chicago’s top cop“?

Democrat internecine warfare: Finally, a spectator sport I can get enthused about, and best of all, I’m not rooting for anyone!

Let’s see Kamala and Tim try to straddle this one.

We’re the Only Ones Registering Enough

Twin Falls Gun Shops, Police at Odds Over Alleged ‘Gun Registration’ Program… The Corsinis noted that not all interactions with law enforcement were negative, but one detective, who was not named, allegedly told them they had to comply or face misdemeanor charges. [More]

So name him. And let’s see if he might face any charges. I know there are penalties for unauthorized used of NICS. Anybody know about rules for unauthorized accessing of hard copy records kept by the FFL?

Over 200,000 firearms found in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico between 2015 and 2022 were linked back to the U.S., recent data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) shows. [More]

Remember last time they were pushing this line?

We’re the Only Ones Warning Enough

Then what am I supposed to do with all that popcorn I bought?

Back in Stock

ATF Returns Bump Stock After Five Years [More]

Glad to see more noticing. I do have one as yet unsatisfied concern with an assumption:

Oh, I get the rationale for doing it that way. Congress was in the process of passing a much more restrictive measure and a lot of Republicans were signing on in the wake of Las Vegas. This minimized the damage.

As I said in my piece:

Prove that’s what [Trump] did. Show us the contemporaneous evidence that was always his intent, and he could predict the outcome, so it was OK to put so many at risk without their knowledge or consent.

I’m not going to make excuses for the inexcusable.

So, just the Second Amendment or does the rest of the Bill of Rights threaten “exercis[ing] their police power,” too…?
