About Face

ATF Facial Recognition Scandal Deepens: Chairman Biggs Demands Records as Gun Owners Sound the Alarm [More]

Y’know, if the administration would just set up that Office of Second Amendment Protection I keep harping on, there wouldn’t be all this clamoring coming at them from all pro-2A quarters because they’d already have them on the agenda to address.

Third Time’s a Charm?

GOA and GOF have officially submitted our petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court in Antonyuk v. James! This case began as a direct challenge to New York’s unconstitutional attempt to ban concealed carry by declaring nearly every location a “sensitive place.” But now, it’s become a battle over lower courts defying SCOTUS rulings. [Watch]

Note the first name on the petition…

The Buck Stops Where…?

GOA & GOF have been GAGGED from printing the news (uncovered in a FOIA) for 18 months. Despite a recent ruling by the D.C. Circuit prohibiting such gag orders, Biden holdovers in @TheJusticeDept are asking the court to extend this First Amendment violation. [More]

Those “holdovers” report to someone…

UPDATE

Here’s the Motion to Lift Protective Order.

Guess whose name is at the end:

Action Plan Wish List

President Trump issued an Executive Order to “assess any ongoing infringements on the Second Amendment rights of our citizens and present a proposed plan of action…to protect the [rights] of all Americans.” Now, GOA is surveying gun owners to help set that plan of action to protect your God-given rights. [More]

It’s good to show him priorities– assuming he sees this. I wish I had time now to analyze it in terms of stuff I agree with, stuff I question, and additions I’d make. I’ll probably weigh in later.

Calling in a Marker

President Trump promised gun-owning voters that Biden’s unconstitutional anti-gun disasters would “get ripped up and torn out” during the first week of his Administration. We just officially passed that milestone in the Trump-Vance Administration – and Biden’s anti-gun policies are still in effect. [More]

With so many “gunfluencers” gushing over and kissing up to the guy with unearned credit, it’s comforting to see I’m not only not alone, and that “the no compromise gun lobby” sees the need to point this out as well.

I went ahead and sent their letter, but also recommend further steps: He has accounts on X.com and Truth Social, and posts there will be noted by his team and your followers.

It’s past time to start posting some executive actions.

Stiffed on the Bill

The Gun Owners of America were denied in their efforts to collect a $400,000 attorney fee in their successful work in challenging ATF’s bumpstock case. [More]

When writing an update on my case, I made a mistake on the title of my piece that is misleading. The judge’s order, as the text of the article states, was that “the plaintiffs shall file any motion for attorney’s fees.”

I signed a declaration for that last week to allow for the attorneys to submit their claim. We’ll now see if the ATF/DOJ under Trump still intends to fight gun owners tooth and nail.

Permit Me?

Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), and Gun Owners of California (GOC) joined forces with the California Rifle & Pistol Association and the Second Amendment Foundation to achieve a significant victory. Together, they secured an order implementing a preliminary injunction in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, compelling the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the La Verne Police Department, and state of California to allow their non-resident members to apply for concealed carry permits. [More]

I could have applied before. Will this require them to grant one?

Then again, I got by from 1981 through to 2007 (when we moved) without one, which I admit made things more dangerous since I didn’t dare file a police report…

Rifling Through a Gun Bill

Gun Owners of America endorsed Representative Tracey Mann’s “Reining In Federal Licensing Enforcement Act” …The RIFLE Act would protect Federal Firearm Licensees (FFLs) from being forced out of business by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ (ATF) overreaching directives. [More]

Here’s the bill.

I thought ATF announced they were ending zero tolerance voluntarily, but this would make it mandatory and besides, who believes them?

I don’t see it on GovTrack yet, but they give his recently introduced “H.R. 624: To reform the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives” a “1% chance of being enacted.”

There’s still one question no one evidently thinks we’re ready to ask:

Licensing…?

Fighting Fire with Slide Fire

Today, Gun Owners of America announced its support for a lawsuit brought forth by Slide Fire Solutions against the U.S. government, which challenges the 2018 ban and unconstitutional confiscation of bump stocks under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. [More]

If any others want to come forward and file complaints, I’ll attest to this, with signatures to prove who I met with:

I asked if anyone else had come to reclaim their property and was told I was the only one, that others had forfeited theirs, and that one business that had made stocks wrote the loss off on taxes.

Talking the Walk

So they “grill” her and she tells them what they want to hear so they can make excuses for her… what will that prove?

Words are words and actions are actions.

Well, They Asked

Momentum is building.

Where are our “leaders”?

Related UPDATE

At the White House on Thursday, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi described to President Donald Trump similar efforts underway in her state to allow law enforcement to seize firearms from someone who is deemed to be a danger to themselves or others.

“Good,” Trump responded. [More]

Gun Group Watch

Will we see leadership on this?

I just checked the Twitter/X feeds for them and nada…

I wonder what they have to say about Bondi’s role in railroading George Zimmerman…

Preemptive Strike

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), together with the Tennessee Firearms Association, today filed a lawsuit in Shelby County, Tennessee against the City of Memphis’ newly adopted gun control ordinances, which were passed by voters in direct opposition to the state’s robust preemption law. [More]

The city has real problems and the idiot Democrats in charge squander resources on diktats they know are illegal.

How is that not actionable malfeasance?

A public servant commits an offense who, with intent to obtain a benefit or to harm another, intentionally or knowingly:
(1) Commits an act relating to the public servant’s office or employment that constitutes an unauthorized exercise of official power;
(2) Commits an act under color of office or employment that exceeds the public servant’s official power;

It’s not enough to have to expend resources to kick these bastards’ crap back at them after months and years of court delays. Start making them personally accountable.

Why not follow up this preemptive strike with carpet bombing?

Oh, wait… the Bill Lee administration…

Credit Where Due

Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a permanent injunction against the State of Illinois’ poorly named Protect Illinois Communities Act. This law violates the Second Amendment and unconstitutionally bans many semi-automatic rifles, standard capacity magazines, and bump stocks, while instituting new registration requirements for gun owners. [More]

And there’s no link for this yet, but it just came in from SAF:

Am I reading these wrong?

We’ve done this before. Let’s not do it any more.

Sorry or Sorry, Not Sorry?

I spoke directly with Mayor Dowling Watford and Police Chief Donald Hagan. Both profusely apologized and explained that at no point was it their intention to strip the residents and business owners of their Second Amendment rights. [More]

I’d prefer officials do things my way because they share my convictions, but if they just do it out of fear I can live with it.

Trump to GOA

The promise to “listen to GOA” is what we’ll need to remind him of. And he needs to understand there are difference between them and NRA, and why.

Spooks Run Wild

It will be telling if they reply they can’t comment on ongoing criminal investigations.
