The Propagandist’s Lament

Before we get to the substance of Ms. Mascia’s in-depth reporting, you need to recall something she claimed about her employer, the Trace. [More]

And then you need to recall the Meadow Soprano of the Gun Ban movement is taking out her Daddy issues on us.

“We all went to journalism school.”

Right. “Authorized Journalists,” “Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists,” “real reporters,” the DSM (Duranty/Streicher Media)…

Attention-Getting

Tate Adamiak has been in prison longer under President Trump than under Biden [More]

In fairness, how many of the thousands I have shared Lee’s work with here and on social media have added their voices to those asking for a pardon? The only comment I got to this was an excuse for not helping.

If a wheel squeaks and no one hears it does it make a difference?

Yet another reason why I’ve been calling for Task Force consulting participation. Why I appear to be the only one is another story.

Today’s Five-Minute Activism

I figure that’s how long it will take to read all this and then seconds to do what it asks.

While he appreciates all the support his son’s case has drawn—there are hundreds of videos and stories chronicled on his “Freedom for Tate” website—Tate remains is prison. To date, there has been no formal move to secure his release—despite the kind words of more than a few elected officials. [More]

Look at what just happened with NFA as a result of massive numbers of gun owners making noise that could not be ignored with midterms coming up.

Advocacy media played a huge part in that.

As just a cursory look shows us:

If a million gun owners simply reposted a “tweet” (or whatever the hell you call them these days) saying “FREEDOM FOR TATE” that shared this link and copied Todd Blanche, Harmeet Dhillon and Donald Trump, I guarantee you it would get their attention.

Any bets on the chances?

Nothing Exceeds Like Excess

ATF Director: Adamiak’s sentence “excessive” [More]

As previously noted, he’s missing the point.

But what I want to focus on is this business of ATF Firearm Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Bodell spreading falsehoods under oath to affect trial outcomes, and how is that anything but prejudicial perjury? Everybody realizes ATF has been getting away with that for years right?

But don’t take my word for it:

ATF Director Cekada’s Concern for Adamiak Misses Larger Point

“Cekada promised neither he nor the ATF will be ‘offended by the outcome of the courts,’ because he wants to make sure that Adamiak was ‘appropriately sentenced’,” Williams recounted. That’s mighty big of him. However, Second Amendment advocates should be offended by such a presumptuous response. [More]

Focusing on the punishment being too harsh ignores the intolerable injustice of there being any punishment at all.

Time to Put Up

It is definitely time for ATF new leadership to take responsibility for Adamiak’s false arrest, fictitious prosecution and undeserved incarceration. [More]

After all, Cekada IS “the first ever truly pro-Second Amendment nominee to head the agency.” Our “gun rights leaders have told us so!

Ask the Expert

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.
