Expert firearm witness criticizes ATF’s treatment of Patrick “Tate” Adamiak [More]

Longtime advisor, earlier “Shockwave” developer, “small cadre” co-conspirator and all-around pal Len Savage weighs in.

The much-vaunted “Second Amendment Task Force” ought to consult with this guy on all ATF technology/rules-related matters.

Meanwhile, Over at ‘the Most Pro-Gun Administration in History’…

Bodell’s lengthy report details how he took parts off of a live RPG in order to make Adamiak’s inert RPGs, which he labeled as Exhibit 30, fire an AK round. [More]

All that’s missing were chains, zip ties and duct tape!

Where the hell is Harmeet Dhillon?

Where Credit is Due

According to the actual complaint, a Florida gun dealer became suspicious of Delgado after he tried to purchase his fourth Barrett rifle, which can retail for $10,000 or more. As a result, the gun dealer contacted the ATF directly. [More]

If he hadn’t reported suspicions he’d have been treated as a co-conspirator. That, to me, is the greater issue.

Speaking of Using Full Might…

Adamiak is about to start the third year of his 20-year federal prison sentence because the ATF reworked his legal inert RPGs until they were capable of firing a single 7.62x39mm round. [More]

Hey, go with what works, right?

You can learn more about that and how they exploited a malfunction to put another vet away in a recent Firearms News piece.

What did Pam Bondi say?

‘”It is the policy of this Department of Justice to use its full might to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.”

No Country for Old Men

The entire State of Missouri can rest much easier now. The ATF has made the Show-Me State a much safer place. Two rule breakers from small Missouri towns were indicted by a federal grand jury last week. Their crimes? They’re accused of selling guns without a federal license. Their ages? One was 75 and the other was 81 years old. [More]

As long as infringements are enforced, it’s no country for citizens of any age.

So much for the “Second Amendment Task Force“…

Where Credit is Due

By far the vast majority of the actions described in the press releases – the arrests and the investigations – were not the result of any work by the ATF. The arrests were made by local cops who found a stolen gun or noticed that their suspect was a convicted felon and should not have possessed a firearm. [More]

Who do these guys think they are? NRA…?

The Wrong People Behind Bars

ATF Lied to Convict Sailor Now Serving 20 Years in Prison for Selling Legal Gun Parts [More]

If their big score was a replica M249, he’s just lucky he didn’t have Merrick Garland’s Tommy gun.

So, who’s the rat CI? Who’s the idiot judge? Who’s the AUSA?

And will Trump/Bondi clean house and knock this crap off?

A Numbers Game

CNN Claims There Have Been ’83 School Shootings’ This Year [More]

Lemme guess: They’re using the Gun Violence Archive, which The Gun Writer, Lee Williams documents:

[A]ccording to Bryant’s all-inclusive definition, there were 417 mass shootings in 2019. The FBI says there were 30, because it uses a much narrower and more realistic definition.

Change my mind.

Contract Oath-Breakers

An email obtained last week by the Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project revealed that the “precision micro-influencer” marketing firm People First is hiring veterans to serve as paid social media influencers for the Harris-Walz campaign. [More]

Not just false authoritypaid false authority.

The Time is Ripe

SAF files brief with Supreme Court in challenge to Illinois semi-auto ban… “Given the ongoing resistance to the core reasoning of Heller and Bruen, (we) respectfully submit that the existence of so many other similar cases cuts in favor of granting certiorari now,” the brief states. [More]

If not now, when?

What’s that saying about a right delayed…?
