A High Hurdle?

The firearm industry wants to keep firearms out of the hands of those who cannot be trusted to responsibly possess them. That includes prohibited individuals, those suffering through a mental health crisis or suffering suicidal ideations and unsupervised children. “Red flag” laws have utility in protecting the public but must be carefully administered so these orders aren’t abused to disarm lawful gun owners.

Define “unsupervised children.”

Yeah, listen to the latter-day Judenrat and collaborate with the jackboots. What could go wrong?

And continue ignoring the only thing that will work.

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.

Call Me Erresponsible…

ATF is proud of our partnership with @NSSF to irradicate straw purchasing activities in the St. Louis area through education using the “Don’t Lie” campaign. #DontLieForTheOtherGuy [More]

Hiring the best and the brightest, are we? Hey, if we expect them to irrase irroneous tweets, their whole account will have to go.

And, of course, NSSFs compromise is not enough.

A Public/Private Partnership

The firearm industry worked with Congress to update the statutory definition of “in the business”… The firearm industry was the progenitor of the point-of-sale instant background check … The firearm industry has been on the leading edge to improve the quality of FBI’s NICS … NSSF supports increasing the submission of disqualifying records to FBI NICS … NSSF welcomes the Biden administration’s renewed attention to safe storage of firearms in the home … NSSF has not opposed the use of emergency risk protection orders, or so-called “red flag” laws … President Biden’s demand to close “the dating violence restraining order loophole” … was not opposed by the firearm industry … NSSF does not oppose the reauthorization of the Undetectable Firearms Act … The Undetectable Firearms Act as it is currently written should be made permanent … [More]

Aaron Zelman had a term for such collaborators.

The NICS Self-Incrimination Form

Thus, pursuant to 34 U.S.C. § 40901(e)(1)(D), we hereby notify you, and thereby make you “aware” that the “basis” on which signers of the NICS Indices Self-Submission Form have been reported to NICS “does not apply.” Thus, pursuant to you your duties under the statute, we respectfully request that the FBI: (i) identify and “remove” records from its “database” relating to those who have signed the FBI form; (ii) that the FBI (under the authority of the Attorney General) “remove” the offending records from the NICS system;4 and (iii) that the FBI halt its use of the illegal and unconstitutional NICS Indices Self-Submission Form. [More]

Funny, how the form doesn’t include a Miranda warning that anything they sign can and will be used against them in a court of law and that they have a right to an attorney. The workaround appears to be that the signers haven’t been convicted or “adjudicated” of anything (yet).

You’d think the FixNICSers would be focused on industry customers being tyrannized and coerced instead of cheerleading registration-enabling prior restraints imposed by their “partners.”

Any bets on getting the requested reply in 30 days, or do Christopher Wray et al. figure as long as Democrats control things there’s no danger of personal repercussions, they have an inexhaustible legal war chest at their disposal, and if the Republicans do manage not to blow it, the “leadership” won’t pursue things thoroughly enough to actually punish anyone?

Or will they get right on it as soon as the frog march Hunter Biden for lying twice?

It’s Ronnie Barrett Time

I spent this am contacting every gun manufacturer I do business with and asking them to PICK A SIDE and go full Ronnie Barrett on every state and agency presuming to infringe on Heller, Bruen and the constitution generally. It is time for the industry to stand up for their customers and NOT SELL GUNS TO AGENCIES AND STATES ADOPTING & ENFORCING RED FLAG LAWS and passing rebound statutes to piss on Bruen. [More]

Longtime WarOnGuns Correspondent Dave Licht is doing the job NSSF won’t do.

The thought strikes: If someone had the wherewithal to create an auto emailer like what GOA does with our elected reps– but this one going to all gun, ammo, and gear mfrs. —  this letter could be used as a customizable template or you could write your own.

The next thought strikes: If someone put that together, how many gun owners would send one?

A Criminal Mayor Conspiracy

GUN CONTROL MAYORS CONSPIRING AGAINST FIREARM MANUFACTURERS [More]

The Bloomberg criminals are picking up the “public nuisance” lawsuit strategy.

So when are industry reps Larry Keane and the NSSF going to do more than yack about it and call for their members to pick a target city like New York and go all Barrett on them?

Continuously Unanswered Insults

New York sues 10 gun distributors for allegedly flooding streets with ghost guns – The lawsuit seeks to ban the defendants from selling certain parts in New York. [More]

So when is NSSF going to lead the industry in telling New York to go to hell when it wants guns and servicing for its enforcers?

Bueller…?
