At about 4:50 in, they talk about the FOIA request appeal.
Appeal Issued on DOJ Non-Compliance with FOIA ~ Subject: Using NICS for Ammunition Checks

Caveat Emptor
Ammo vending machines may soon arrive in Florida grocery stores [Watch]

Actually, they already lost me at “built-in AI technology, card scanning capability and facial recognition software.”

Hawaii’s Democrat Gov. Signs Bill Barring People Under the Age of 21 from Buying or Possessing Ammunition [More]
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…

“Senator Kennedy is concerned about Czechoslovak Group’s potential acquisition of Vista Outdoors because it could make the U.S. Army reliant on a sole U.S. contractor for ammunition and U.S. law enforcement agencies more reliant on foreign providers of primers and ammunition” … [More]

This is a job for… Joe Biden…?

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…

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