A Larger Point

Franklin Armory and the Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, Inc. (FRAC) have filed a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) over what the plaintiffs allege are wrongful classification of firearms and regulatory delays. [More]

That presupposes there are rightful classifications and acceptable review times.

A Certain Appeal

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Defendants Merrick Garland, in his official capacity as Attorney General of the United States; Steven Dettelbach, in his official capacity as Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF); the United States Department of Justice; and ATF hereby appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit from the Court’s Opinion & Order on Scope of Preliminary Injunction entered on October 1, 2022… [More]

Of course they’re not giving up on unconstitutionally claiming authority to impose frame or receiver infringements. They enjoy unlimited resources.

FPC has the entire case with filings and orders indexed for us.

The Importance of Being Ernst

The senator is requesting that Garland provide details about the ATF investigations, including how the organization establishes probable cause to conduct these visits, as well as whether they obtain a warrant. She also called on the ATF to reveal how many “knock and talks” they have conducted since the ramp-up began in late July. The letter requests that Garland responds within 30 days. [More]

And if he doesn’t? Or just sends back some weasel words that paint the JBTs as heroes out there protecting us from racist domestic extremists? Hell, Eric Holder told a Republican Congress to go **** themselves and he’s still out there being in-your-face about everything.

This is more like Ernst trying to bolster/reestablish gun creds with the uninformed and those with short memories.

Who Will Judge the Judge?

TYRANNY: Michigan GOP Candidate for Governor, Ryan Kelley, Has Guns Taken by Judge for Standing Outside the Capitol on Jan 6 [More]

And the compelling state interest to show he is a violent danger risk to himself and others is…?

If you’re willing to eviscerate the Second Amendment, there’s nothing to stop you from eviscerating the First. And this one, clerking for Merrick Garland after graduation,  has never not had her nose in the plunder trough, so coercion for political aims is all she knows.

If they do somehow manage not to blow the “red wave,” which Republican will be willing to strap ’em on, endure the false charges of “racism” and lead the effort to impeach Judge Robin Meriweather?

All this to get one guy? Any figures on how much has been spent so far and estimates on how many more of us will have to work for the rest of our lives to pay for this?

And “Blah…blah…blah prohibitionist talking points…”

At this rate, they oughta have things under control sometime before the sun burns out…
