Like Russian Roulette

Woman Walks Into Ontario Police Department With Live World War II Grenade… “You don’t know what condition they’re in, whether they can still explode,” Ontario Provincial Police spokesperson Michael Fathi told the Ottawa Citizen. “You don’t want to take a chance.” [More]

Yet isn’t that exactly what the “commonsense gun safety” fanatics are doing when they incentive, people with no knowledge of the “Four Rules” or on how to check or clear a gun, to pick one up and transport it to a “buyback”?

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

Colt Canada Denies Involvement in Confiscation Scheme [More]

You don’t say.

I’ll bet he gets a lot more reads than the source. I suppose a link would have killed him. You know, kind of like the same courtesy that gets regularly extended here…

Story of my life…

And for the record, they denied involvement in the buyback scheme and said nothing about confiscation. Whether the claim is valid or invalid has not been definitively established.

O Canada

“This program is really a way to help lawful gun owners stay in compliance with the law.” [Watch]

Talk about industrial grade weasel wording… and what a perfect example of actual fascist mentality.

Then we have Thing 2, a frickin’ Sri Lankan refugee who repays the people who took him in with “Obey of die” mandates.

According to what the premier’s spokesperson told me, Alberta’s response is “Not on our watch.”

Buyback at St. Estupido’s

Leaders of the Catholic Church in Baja California have decided to join the fight against crime by turning their churches into collection points for guns and ammo. It’s part of a program called “Sí al desarme, sí a la paz,” which means yes to disarming, yes to peace. [More]

“Grenades and explosives” too!

And it’s all being sanctioned by government cartel partners!

I wonder if any Fast and Furious guns will end up scrapped…

We’re the Only Ones Selling Back Enough

The Chicago Police Department has used gun buybacks to get thousands of guns off the street, but at least two of them have resurfaced at crime scenes, a joint investigation between the Illinois Answers Project and the Chicago Sun-TImes found. [Watch]

Saint Sabina, eh…? Snuffy…?

We’re the Only Ones Posturing Enough

The buyback was held at the Church of Love Faith Center on Exchange Street in Rochester, with over a hundred people waiting in line to surrender their firearms. It was organized as a way for community members to safely discard of their guns, with no questions asked. [More]

Like “Is it yours?”

The key word is “surrender.”

Can you imagine being “Leadership Award” winner Lieutenant Michael Ciulla and acting like this is anything more than an “ineffective” propaganda event?

“People like me who like to hunt and who love guns, it’s sad almost to watch them get cut up,” said volunteer Dan Krull. “But we are going to support this sort of thing because it is symbolic and sends a message like, ‘Look we need to do something.’” [More]

You’re a real genius, aren’t you, gunkapo Fudd Dan?

So: Who was the FFL who processed the transfers?

Or was this another one of these?

New Biden Rule Makes ‘Buybacks’ Potential Seller Traps

An email I sent out this morning to my “small cadre” of advisors:

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-04-19/pdf/2024-07838.pdf

“The definition of ‘to predominantly earn a profit’ now focuses only on whether the intent underlying the sale or disposition of firearms is predominantly one of obtaining pecuniary gain… ’ to define the terms ‘purchase’ and ‘sale’ as they apply to dealers to include any method of payment or medium of exchange for a firearm…”

Did they just tank anonymous “buybacks” with “no questions asked”? I know some gun owners publicize selling cheap junk for a profit… I don’t see a carve out for buybacks in the text (albeit I only did a word search and have not pored through the whole mess).

It turns out Armed Attorneys addressed that in a video Len Savage sent me the link to, along with this observation:

Fun fact: The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was touted to close the “gun show loophole” to prevent buying a firearm without a background check,

However; There is NOTHING in the rule (based on the law passed) that effects or applies to a BUYER.

NOTHING!

Meaning it would only affect the seller of a firearm to a buyback program.

Don’t take my word on it, here are two attorneys discussing it.

The relevant section starts at 8:12:

So it looks like they outsmarted themselves, and now need to ignore their own rule.

So, every time the antis hold a buyback, why not loudly complain and warn people they’re being invited to violate “commonsense gun safety laws”?

It’s Not Like These Idiots Have a Clue

Summit County Council is partnering with the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, the Summit County Prosecutor’s Office and Arlington Church of God to host a gun buyback and safety initiative. [More]

Just in case anyone is wondering why the city went from “Rubber Capital of the World” to Crackron…

I’m wondering if there’s anything these morons can’t f*** up.

And thanks for the redistricting!

About the only thing I have to add to that is this:

The thought strikes: If they don’t downgrade it at least a full letter grade after Bruen, it will be a significant admission.

So: When’s the next “buyback“?

The Cognitive Dissonance… It BURNS…

But…but…but…universal background checks… red flag laws… boyfriend loopholes…

It’s not really like this at all, is it?

UPDATE: Gun Writer Lee Williams notes they didn’t do their homework and what they’re trying to do “violates state, federal and international law.”
