Notes from the Resistance
The DOJ just filed a rebuttal of our Notice of Noncompliance calling out the ATF on their failure to comply with the court’s order to return FRTs. If we were hoping the new DOJ would do an about-face in this case, this ain’t it. The DOJ is arguing that FRTs stolen from gun owners can only be returned if they under go a background check. Absolutely not. [More]
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

From Len Savage via email:
A forced reset trigger does exactly what it sounds. It forces the trigger to reset.
So when you pull the trigger, there is a cam (compared to traditional AR triggers) that pushes your trigger forward, back to the ‘start’ position which allows you to fire your subsequent shots much quicker. The cam also will not let you pull the trigger until a fresh round of ammo is chambered and ready to fire. Once it chambers a fresh round the cam then drops away and you can only then pull the trigger.
With a forced reset trigger you have essentially taken semi automatic method of fire to near 100% efficiency (not unlike a bump stock in that regard). By forcing the reset and limiting the trigger travel there is an economy of time and movement that allows for a rate of fire near that of the host firearm cyclic rate.
It’s not a machine gun because you are pulling the trigger once for every shot fired. You are doing it. You are doing it with incredible speed because there is no waste of time or movement.
Incredible fire rate sound like fun? It certainly is!
Reason for me blasting it out is I keep getting asked about them.
I have hands on technical experience with them.
Currently they are ALL legal (and have been since July 24th) unless Judge Reed O’Connor gets overruled.
NAGR wins lawsuit against ATF trigger ban … The ATF may appeal this ruling, but precedent and momentum are both on our side, and we fully anticipate the absolute end of the ATF’s unlawful, unconstitutional ban on forced reset triggers. [More]
They’ll appeal because they have unlimited tax plunder to do it with and dragging things out and making plaintiffs spend their hard-won funds is part of the game.
NAGR is doing a good job of late, especially at refuting an old image.

In Morrison’s case, we find, unsurprisingly, she’s a Democrat and a Joe Biden appointee. We also find that “The U.S. Senate confirmed Morrison on June 8, 2022, on a vote of 53-46.” That was close. And it means Republicans had to vote to confirm her. Which Republicans? [More]
With “Republicans” like Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney, who needs Democrats?
Federal Judge Issues Order Blocking ATF Classification of Forced Reset Triggers as Machine Guns – The National Association for Gun Rights was granted a temporary restraining order in its Lawsuit against the ATF, National Association for Gun Rights v. Garland, in federal court in the Northern District of Texas. [More]
More and more NAGR is showing itself to be a major player on the national scene worthy of support. It’s time to bury the hatchet.

Today, the National Association for Gun Rights filed a lawsuit against the ATF, National Association for Gun Rights v. Garland, in federal court in the Northern District of Texas. This action was filed in the same appellate circuit that ruled earlier this year that bump stocks are not machine guns in Cargill v. Garland. [More]
More and more NAGR is showing itself to be a major player on the national scene worthy of support. Perhaps it’s time to bury the past.

The question now becomes “What orders wouldn’t they follow?”
I see some approvingly saying “This is how you talk to them.”
Me, I hope ignoring the prime directive doesn’t get him in trouble, particularly if “No, I didn’t do anything wrong” (2:34) comes back to haunt him.

COURT DOCS: ATF staffer admits to passing confidential records to gun rights groups [More]
This is what happens when the ones who want to do the right thing don’t get whistleblower protection, and why Mike and I were so adamant about not trusting Holder’s DOJ but instead pressed Senate Judiciary and House Oversight to do the right thing, even if only for political reasons of their own.
It’s why I’m going to Oversight again on the Secret Service/Hunter Biden allegations. This time, on my own and with no insiders to bring in, I’m afraid it’s proving even more of an uphill battle.
So which “gun rights group” was it he was feeding information to? If it were me, I’d be out there banging pots and pans and defending him. Let’s hope someone can assure us he’s not being left hanging out there to dry.
The ATF is not tipping its hand about how it received the WOT owner’s information. [More]
Could be the company, could be the credit card processor… I’m wondering if how they ship products and package weights could play a part.
I have never given up hope that the collector’s item I got so I’d have standing will one day be surrendered back to me by ATF.
I wonder if SCOTUS will forever punt, and what the implications will be for pistol braces, forced reset triggers, and the like.

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.
