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 authority — paid 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…?

Playing the Percentages

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.

We’re the Only Ones Very Least Enough

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.

Without a Trace

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?

Willful Tyranny

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.”

The Big Chill

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.
