We’re the Only Ones Loading Enough

The lieutenant in charge of the state Department of Corrections’ gun ranges has been arrested and accused of stealing and selling millions of rounds of state-owned ammunition worth almost a half-million dollars. [More]

As a former policies and procedures guy, I have to say my jaw dropped that the procurement and accounting systems allowed him to even contemplate doing this. This is criminally negligent management by his superiors and they should face charges, too.

Figures, this is frickin’ New Jersey…

CO Democrats Dictate Terms of Surrender

Like something out of the Gremlins movies, Senate Bill 25-003 was amended well past midnight to transform from a near all-encompassing semi-automatic ban into a permit-to-purchase scheme reminiscent of Illinois’ FOID cards. [More]

From a Rocky Mountain Gun Owners email:

Without any public testimony or stakeholders, radical anti-gun Senators changed SB-003 from an “Assault Weapons” Ban to the implementation of an Illinois-style Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) card! … Under this rebirthed version of SB-003, the weapons previously banned under this measure could only be purchased if gun purchasers, like you or I, voluntarily enter themselves into a statewide gun owner registry (fingerprints and all) maintained by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation!! … And worst of all the only way to obtain this permission slip is to pay out of pocket and spend hours at an anti-gun propaganda course from the government!

You know, just like the Founders intended.

And, of course, you’ll not need ammo for those guns we won’t let you have…

Colorado Democrats intend to bring you to heel.

EXPOSED: Outside the floor debate of SB25-003, bill sponsor Sen Tom Sullivan, harassed an individual from a Colorado gun rights organization who had left a box of petitions in his office from Sullivan’s own constituents, and he repeatedly called the petitions “trash”. [More]

It’s not just petitions Democrats call “garbage.”

The NeverEnding Story

Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), and the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners, alongside plaintiff Heidi Bergmann-Schoch, have filed a lawsuit challenging New Jersey’s unconstitutional ban on possessing hollow point ammunition for self-defense outside the home. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, argues that the state’s restrictions violate the Second and Fourteenth Amendments by preventing law-abiding citizens from possessing and carrying the most effective forms of self-defense ammunition.

Where it will be tied up for years with their legal opponent having virtually unlimited tax plunder to draw from…

There is a way around that, but so far, I’m the only one talking about it.

A Plan Comes Together

China’s New Export Restriction Choke Hold on Critical U.S. Ammunition Components, Are You Prepared? [More]

No, if course I’m not prepared. No one is prepared for the larger issue of critical material supplies that can be cut off at any time in the hands of those who want to eat us.

And that’s just the way the men behind the curtain want things.

House Oversight Asked to Determine FBI/NICS Authority for Ammunition Purchases

Unlike FOIA requests, which can ask for records, the committee can ask questions and has subpoena power to cut through to the chase and get them answered. [More]

Getting a simple question answered shouldn’t take an act of Congress, presuming House Oversight Republicans will act…

Bullet Points

Judge shoots down Cabela’s bid to stymie Delaware probe into thousands of rounds of ammo shoplifted from Christiana Mall store – One thief says she stole 500,000 bullets because security was lax. For 18 months, the retailer has fought a state subpoena seeking loss-prevention records. [More]

Not that we can take her word for it, but still…

Coming from a policies and procedures background, this appears all so unnecessary, especially for a corporation with such organizational resources to ensure compliance.

I’ve never shopped in one. Anybody know if Cabela’s records ID information with ammo purchases?

Dispense with the Formalities

Massachusetts Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) asking it to “closely examine” facial recognition-enabled ammunition vending machines that have recently been installed in supermarkets in certain states. [More]

Yeah, why does it need to ID us?

The Kapu Tradition lives on in the post-Igeocracy.

They know they’ll end up losing and the money could be spent on needed things, but they don’t care. And no one will hold them to account because stupid citizenship malpractitioners dominate the population.

Help a Fudd Out?

Thankfully, the House of Representatives has passed GOA-backed H.R. 615 which would END Biden’s backdoor attempt at banning lead ammo. But now, we need your help urging the Senate to stop Biden’s lead ammo ban. [More]

It’s time once more to show we’re not the ones throwing them under buses.

And this one has a chance of passing, too:

Prognosis 52% chance of being enacted

I imagine guys like Tester and Manchin would be hard-pressed to vote against it…

This is a job for… Joe Biden…?

To make funds available for the preservation of commercial manufacturing capability for defense grade nitrocellulose.

With the way he’s going these days, he’ll probably instruct ATF to write a rule declaring cotton an NFA item…

The Wrong Side of History

On Thursday, US District Judge Frank P. Geraci denied a request by gun-rights advocates to block enforcement of a New York law requiring ammunition sales to be handled by a licensed dealer and subject to a background check for the purchaser. He determined that the law fit within the country’s historical tradition of gun regulation… [More]

So bring back the Slave Codes while we’re at it. eh, Obama appointee?

Historical anachronisms like colonists requiring loyalty oaths from Catholics were rendered unconstitutional by the Establishment clause ratified by the Framers…

Anything to avoid “shall not be infringed” from these robed punks…

FOIA Request Questions FBI for Using NICS on NY Ammunition Background Checks

Can NICS be used for purposes for which it is not federally authorized? [More]

It makes fair the question “What else could the prohibitonists use it for?”

Gotta Serve Somebody

The two letters show opposite assumptions about reality and the role of governments. The NY letter assumes guns are bad, and ordinary citizens should not have guns, because ordinary citizens do bad things with guns. The letter from the 28 states assumes government is subordinate to the people, government must defend the nation, and an armed population aids the government in defending the nation against all enemies. These two assumptions about reality are in direct conflict. [More]

Like Mike always said:

We are, in fact, two countries divided by the fundamental difference of principle on the question: Does the government serve the people, or do the people serve the government?
