Current Wild Swings of the Gun Control Pendulum

Replacing Joe Biden’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention with an Office of Second Amendment Protection, with liaison members like new ATF Chief Counsel Leider, would mean no more surprises, no more cognitively dissonant legal positions, and no more disheartening gun owner who are feeling used, abandoned and betrayed.

All this back-and-forth has got to stop.

Kash Patel, Shorten the Leash

A year ago, the ATF raided an airport exec’s home—no knock, they covered the cameras, cut the power, and kicked open the front door. They shot him dead in front of his wife over gun sale suspicions… Seeking to stop this from occurring in his state again, Rep. Wayne Long reached out to NAGR and we teamed up to draft HB 1481, the Anti-ATF Commandeering Act. [More]

That could work in AR if they can get enough support. As for the rest of the Republic, why not try to stop such abuses by putting the responsibility where it belongs?

A Forced Reset

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.

ATF Up to Old Tricks in Denying Attorney Fees on Bump Stock Case

If you want to fight for your rights against the unlimited power and treasure of the state, you’re on your own. That’s “the reasonableness of the government’s position.” [More]

We’re about to find out how different the new administration is from the old one when it comes to citizens being forced to fight for their rights.

Troll Complains It’s Not Being Fed

The FBI did not immediately return the Daily Beast’s request for comment on Patel’s reported requests. [More]

Why would he? He’s ferreting out the nmost dangerous kind of armed criminal– the kind that works in law enforcement and nowtands to lose everything when their treasonous subversion is exposed, and you apparatchiks are telling your useful idiots not piutting his life in their hands is “bonkers”and “paranoid.”

Once more, Bill Clinton’s rules of engagement come to mind…

Padilla and Kash Patel clash on gun ownership in America [Watch]

Did you see a clash?

I saw equivocation over easily answered questions.

No, prior restraints are not consitututional. It says “shall not be infringed.” Yes, every terrible implement of the soldier is the birthright of an American.

But if he answered plainly, he’d never get confirmed?

If so, it’s because Republicans have consistently over the years avoided using their bully pulpits to articulate the reasons for the Second Amendment, so to most people they come across as something that intuitively goes against everything they’ve been “told.”

As long as that’s the case– as long as 2A advocacy is marginalized and relegated to a niche segment outside of the mainstream– treasonous Democrats like Padilla will be able to manipulate with words like “extreme”.

That’s why I’m not letting up on Trump’s unfulfilled campaign rhetoric and what he could do to start turning things around. That’s why I’ll keep calling it out each day that goes by where he ignores us.

Adventures in Baselessness

Let’s hope this gets Mike Lindell out of bankruptcy and allows him to smother some deserving souls with HisPillow.

Then let’s hope an honest investigation reveals what most of us have had plenty of cause to suspect, with the attendant repercussion on laws and appointments enacted over the last four years.
