BFF at ATF

Gun rights groups hail Trump’s pick to lead ATF: ‘First ever truly pro-Second Amendment nominee’ [More]

A true champion of the Second Amendment, eh? I wonder what Fletcher thinks.

He’ll be a DOJ team player. This is how the team plays:

We’re the Only Ones Falling Down on the Job Enough

Three years ago, RealClearInvestigations reported that the FBI was undercounting the number of armed civilians who had thwarted active shooters by a factor of three. Even though the FBI acknowledged the issue at the time, it never corrected the error involving the politically fraught issue. In the years since, the problem has only gotten worse. [More]

I thought Kash and Bongino were supposed to be the answers to our prayers…?

Maybe ask ’em “WTF?”

Ghet Up and Go

Patel cuts ties Comey’s FBI made with ADL as organization faces backlash for TPUSA criticism [More]

It’s fair to wonder how much of the “greatest threat” smear was instigated by them.

It doesn’t strike any Democrats as odd that ADL’s whole shtick is defaming people?

Kash on Delivery

I didn’t have time yesterday to look into FBI Director Patel sending those non-working 3D printed guns to New Zealand– even though illegal there, I don’t see where gifting them to an official who couldn’t accept them means Kash committed any crime– although I would be curious to hear his thinking on why it’s a good idea to suck up to gun-grabbers, especially that way– and to ask if it’s really in the taxpayer’s and gun voters interests to pander that way.

What I was really curious about and needed a minute to check was if sending them without State Department approval or some such violated ITAR, kinda like ATF not going through Hillary (or perhaps they did and she lied) while enabling gun walking to Mexico.

Turns out it’s not ITAR, it’s EAR, and basically the reg cover data transfers.

We’re the Only Ones Rewarded Enough

Indeed. (Note that some links have expired but may yet be retrievable via the Wayback Machine.)

Kash and Dan, you’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do.

Not that defensive MAGA Über Alles absolutists will have anything to say besides “Would you rather have Kamala?”

Motor Voters

FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell Monday evening, handing Congress an intelligence report that raises serious questions about China’s role in the 2020 election. According to the report, Chinese operatives mass-produced counterfeit U.S. driver’s licenses as part of a broader scheme to flood the system with fake mail-in ballots—benefiting… you guessed it… Joe Biden. [More]

I wondered if there were election implications in the Florida DMV fraud with real licenses…

Great Expectations

‘This time, it’s not a cover-up’: FBI director Kash Patel promises ‘truckloads’ of files will be made public, says ‘give us a week’… Patel said the material relates to both the Trump-Russia investigation, known as Crossfire Hurricane, and the January 6 Capitol breach. According to Patel, the documents will be made public within two weeks, promising what he called “a wave of transparency.” [More]

We’ve been promised Krakens before, so you’ll forgive me if I want to, you know, actually see one this time.

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. [More]

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?
