Gun Laws vs. Crime Rates in 2024

Almost daily, legislators propose new gun laws aimed at reducing crime rates. However, both new and existing laws are unlikely to impact crime significantly. With over 90 years of gun control legislation and crime data, it’s clear that these laws do little to curb criminality or save lives. [More]

“Gun Control” doesn’t work, at least for its stated justification.

Even NRA and NSSF-approved “gun control.”

House Oversight Asked to Determine FBI/NICS Authority for Ammunition Purchases

Unlike FOIA requests, which can ask for records, the committee can ask questions and has subpoena power to cut through to the chase and get them answered. [More]

Getting a simple question answered shouldn’t take an act of Congress, presuming House Oversight Republicans will act…

A Public/Private Partnership

This lengthy lawsuit by the Maryland and D.C. attorneys general, as well as Everytown Law, accuses Engage Armament, LLC, United Gun Shop and Atlantic Guns, Inc. of ignoring clear signs of illegal gun sales. The lawsuit claims the purchases happened in Montgomery County, but led to gun violence across the area. [More]

Of course “background checks” aren’t enough — they were never intended to be.

I’m just surprised NSSF hasn’t joined in the pile-on.

A Different Set of Rules

Biden calls son Hunter’s ‘resilience’ amid gun trial charges ‘inspiring’ [More]

Now let you get caught gaming NICS.

The gaslighting hypocrisy from these people is so in-your-face it stuns, which means it’s working.

Now go out and see if you can find any of the major “commonsense gun safety” prohibitonist groups that are demanding “universal background checks” condemning Hunter, demanding he be made an example of, and publicly pushing back against Joe shrugging things off.

Justice Department FOIA Response on Permanent Entry to NICS Ignores Key Requests

What all those pages in the FOIA response did not do is provide what was being asked for. [More]

I wonder why they won’t share where they get the authority to strong-arm permanent gun disabilities without due process and that are not statutorily authorized from…

ATF Given an Inch, Takes a Mile

NSSF Complains There’s Not Enough ‘Gun Control’

Simply put, “gun control” doesn’t work, and it’s astounding that the head of the firearms manufacturer trade association is publicly insisting that it does. [More]

Industry CYA at the expense of our rights is unacceptable.

FOIA Request Questions FBI for Using NICS on NY Ammunition Background Checks

Can NICS be used for purposes for which it is not federally authorized? [More]

It makes fair the question “What else could the prohibitonists use it for?”

Untrue to Form

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Gun Background Check Database Contains Nearly 14 Million Entries For Illegal Immigrants [More]

S’OK. Hunter’s going to make those unconstitutional.

Plus there’s nothing to stop them from getting ’em the old fashioned way.

Military age men, I’ll bet.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

So What’s the Problem?

IMPACTS OF HOUSE REPUBLICANS’ EXTREME CR…Nearly 70 fewer Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents, who are often some of the first federal law enforcement on the scene of a mass shooting to help local law enforcement identify at-large shooters—and 13 furlough days for ATF’s entire workforce [More]

Cutting 800 Border agents sounds bad, but they don’t let them guard the border anyway. A lot of the other stuff is Marxist wealth redistribution…

Watch them use the reduction in FBI personnel to try to delay NICS approvals and then work around the 3-day background check timeout to retroactively go after transfers…

VCDL TV

I’ll be joining Virginia Citizens Defense League this evening at 8:00 Eastern for their monthly live broadcast. We’ll be talking about prior restraint infringement injustices built into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) and more.

It can be viewed at VCDL.Tube and Facebook.com/VCDLorg/.

It’s either that or Shark Tank and Real Housewives of Atlanta…

A Public/Private Partnership

“Don’t Lie” is a cooperative program between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and NSSF. [More]

So if a trusted friend or relative is a “prohibited person” because they ran afoul of some unconstitutional citizen disarmament edict, or have been “red flagged” and disenfranchised without due process, the industry “solution” is to turn your back on him? Sounds like fascism in action to me.

If someone has been proven a truly dangerous character, why would they be anyplace they could receive a gun — from any source? We all know what prior restraint “background checks” enable, and how that will be exploited once Democrats have the votes. And since when is the mantra that “gun control” works?

Every time I see NSSF bragging about licking jackboots, kapos and drivers come to mind.

Do As We Say

DHS Did Not Consistently Comply with National Instant Criminal Background Check System Requirements…DHS has more than 6.4 million incomplete NICS records… [More]

And what happens when we don’t comply with their rules?

Still, maybe we’ve got registration all wrong and the safest place for gun records is with the government…

When Black Friday Comes

Received via email:

Noted this recent news item:

“Numbers released Monday show that the FBI ran 192,749 National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) background checks on Black Friday 2022.” (and 711,372 total for the week) — Did not include the number rejected and I don’t expect to ever see a final tally of justified rejections vs. approved on reexamination.

We’re the Only Ones Transferring Enough

St. Louis school shooter may have used gun that police confiscated months ago… Officers removed the gun from the home and gave it to a unnamed adult, he said. [More]

Flesh out how they completed the transfer.

UPDATE

The family “worked with our department to transfer that to an adult who could legally possess one,” Sack said. The firearm was ultimately transferred to a third party known to the family. [More]

OK, so can we expect an arrest?

And should we title this “Another Red Flag Success”?
