Notes from the Resistance
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…?
Arkansas AG demands answers, bodycams from ATF over fatal SWAT raid [More]
And some legislators are also joining in.
Funny… everyone concerned is a Republican. I guess Democrats don’t care about ATF ninjas killing citizens and trying to hide evidence.

However, the recent investigation by the Second Amendment Foundation revealed that 97Percent supports bans on “assault weapons,” standard-capacity magazines, and bump stocks and has called for permits to carry, purchase, and even possess firearms. It supports mandatory background checks and mandatory storage laws and claims the Second Amendment is “overprotected.” [More]
Welcome to the party, pals.
New anti-gun group hopes foreign lawsuits will increase domestic gun control [More]
Some if us consider foreign nationals undermining what the Founders considered “necessary to the security of a free State” to be an act of war, and U.S. collaborators to be the basest of traitors.
At the very least, Montgomery County Sheriff Sean Kilkenny has violated his oath of office, particularly the portion in which he swore to support and defend the United States Constitution including the Second Amendment. [More]
“Patsy” seems such a polite way to say “oath-breaking, mother f*****g piece of s***”…
He’s not an unwitting dupe. His evil is self-serving and premeditated.
The Trace story quotes Byrna’s founder, president and chief executive officer, Bryan Ganz. However, on Friday, Ganz told the Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project that he had never even heard of the Trace until the story appeared Thursday morning. The freelance writer who wrote the story claimed it would appear in a different publication. [More]
How can you be an industry leader and be so oblivious about the media environment you’re operating in?
He and many other dealers complain that ATF changed their definition of what constitutes a willful violation. The ATF now says that every gun dealer has been told to submit only proper paperwork, so any error – even clerical – constitutes a willful violation of ATF rules. [More]
There is no new thing under the sun.
The functionaries carrying this out must be pretty confident they’ll never be held personally accountable for their “willful violations.”

Be nice if a North Carolina lawmaker made a similar demand…

Bass Pro Shop’s Background Check Policy Raises Questions [More]
After seeing how Morehouse was retaliated against with a bend-and-spread-’em audit that had the goal of finding something, anything, to revoke its FFL, and noting the anal levels ATF stoops to over “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” (enthusiastically partnered with by NSSF), over-cautiousness is inevitable, especially where corporate timidity over anything controversial is the rule.
ATF agents wearing tactical gear and bearing AR-15s raided the Oklahoma home of Russell Fincher, a 52-year-old high school history teacher, “kitchen table” gun dealer, and Baptist minister. [More]
I understand Establishment Republicans have had problems with the term “jackbooted thugs”…?
A rare win: ATF fails to revoke New Jersey gun dealer’s federal firearm license [More]
As we’ve seen before in graphic detail, a few minor paperwork errors and they make a federal case out of it.
My question: Did lead attack dog John Curtis commit career suicide by ultimately not “just following orders”?
A 39-year-old South Florida man who is an ardent anti-gunner was sentenced last week to 15 months in federal prison and one year of probation for threatening U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colorado, in a series of social media posts that targeted the Congresswoman for her strong Second Amendment support. [More]
It’s almost like frustrated wannabe totalitarians aren’t rational or something…

Ask if they’ll sign one of these:
I thought at first it might be an Ohio law thing about places that serve alcohol, but Giffords, of all groups, gives us an “out”:
Ohio also generally prohibits possession of firearms in establishments licensed to sell liquor in rooms or open air arenas where alcohol is being served on premises, although this restriction generally does not apply to people who are licensed to carry handguns or otherwise eligible for permitless carry, if they are not consuming alcohol or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and if the establishment does not restrict firearm carrying.
I see some comments suggest carrying anyway and they’ll never know. I won’t for two reasons that have nothing to do with their property rights: First, anyone telling me up front they don’t trust me and would rather see me dead than armed won’t get a dime from me, and second, advertising up front that they’re a gun-free zone attracts dangerous scumbags I’d rather not expose myself and my family to.
Woman Who Lied About Drugs During Gun Purchase Sent To Prison: What about Hunter? [More]
The way comments are dominated by redirection to take the focus off the article followed by interminable petty squabbles and name-calling sure works in ATF’s favor here.
See my sidebar “Comment House Rules.” I won’t allow that here.
Anybody doesn’t like it can have all their money back.
But when Rob Pincus told FOX News he supported Biden’s ideas, even shooting a shotgun out a door to scare away bad guys, it was too much. Even with Pincus’ previous statements calling for more gun control, he had crossed the Rubicon. There was no going back. [More]
He crossed the Rubicon for me when he came unglued and went all ad hominem over questioning one of his fellow trainers supporting Hillary. He secured his position in the enemy camp when he teamed up with one of its leaders and then joined up with the kinder, gentler gun-grabbers.
That makes his allies subject to scrutiny too, in my book. They’re the ones who advise ignoring the greatest threat.
The thing is, he doesn’t care about burning bridges. He knows he can continue to make a good living off of Gun Culture 2.0, where useful idiots have their “allowed” guns, for now, as they witlessly vote in rulers aiming to change that as soon as they think they can.

In the interests of fairness, TTAG directs us to the documentation of incomplete quotes.
That has no bearing on my observations.

That’s not why they’re doing it.
