‘Just Following Orders’
So DOJ is just following orders?

In the case of the US v. Josef Altstötter, et al., an American military tribunal tried members of the Reich Ministry of Justice as well as jurists and prosecutors of the People’s Court [Volksgericht] and Special Court [Sondergericht].

Holding GOA Accountable
President Trump is standing up for our rights. But the Department of Justice and Pam Bondi are BLOCKING his pro-2A agenda and ignoring orders from the top. This is an outright betrayal. Congress MUST hold accountability hearings NOW. Gun owners deserve answers. The DOJ and ATF cannot be allowed to defy the president and attack your freedoms. Tell your members of Congress: Investigate the DOJ’s betrayal of President Trump, gun owners, and the Constitution. Only you can force Congress to act. SIGN THE PRE-WRITTEN LETTER NOW [More]
One question: What has GOA done to promote and demand a Task Force seat to keep these kinds of abuses from happening before they do?
There’s all kinds of ways to make it happen and they could head off any need to have to run to Congress — which is prepared to do what, exactly?
It’s always better to keep the mess from happening in the first place instead of having to clean it up after it’s done untold damage. If they haven’t even tried, and this is their “solution”, I’m not sure I want to help.
The Blowup That Didn’t Have to Happen
We bring this to your attention because the facts upon which we made our original video have changed, and you deserve to know that. It also means that some who have placed a lot of weight into this issue, believing it was the straw that broke the camel’s back, should also reevaluate what weight they attach to this. [Watch]
Yes, it was the court that ruled to provide the membership lists, but what the Bondi apologists are all giving a pass to is that it was DOJ that “Ruined a Big Win“:
So 5:59 what the United States Department of 6:00 Justice proposed is that it would apply 6:02 only to the named plaintiffs and to any 6:05 member of the organization who was 6:07 members of the organization way back in 6:09 2020 when the complaint was filed and 6:12 only if they are identified.
I guess there’s more to be gained circling the wagons and beating up on Dudley, who, in my opinion, did not read the room for what is either possible or likely, and practically guaranteed the apologists and competitor rice bowl groups would seize the opportunity to pile on NAGR, and significantly, ignore DOJ being the catalyst.
Note it didn’t “clarify” that it doesn’t want lists until after the brouhaha broke out, and this could have all been avoided if gun owners and the administration had a way to coordinate expectations with realities beforehand and avoid the chronic bipolarity that drags everyone along with it.

An Age-Old Question
Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that the DOJ does not believe that the McCoy vs ATF should be the next 2A SCOTUS case. Why did DOJ say this? Mark Smith, Four Boxes Diner, discusses [Watch]
I’m not afraid to say so when I think he’s not being objective considering all factors, or just generally playing see-no-evil administration cheerleader. That said, I think he’s correct here.

Maybe they need to up the lithium…
This is where I gotta address an administration apologist, attorney, author, and YouTube “gunfluencer Mark W. Smith of Four Boxes Diner fame, who seems to always find excuses for such disappointments and who doesn’t much like those of us who dare point out disconnects. But before I elaborate, I’ll stipulate he’s got me outmatched with academic and legal credentials, and that I’ll never win a Gundie (or for that matter, a bathing suit contest). And don’t get me wrong– I really do appreciate much of what he does. Just not all.
I’ll also stipulate that Donald Trump has done more to advance 2A than any president in my lifetime. We can help him do better, but not if we ignore infringements pushed by “our side.”
Here’s a direct quote, noting commentary like this is peppered throughout this presentation and increasingly showing up in others:
And it reiterates my point on this channel that a lot of those people in the Second Amendment community, and you know exactly who you are. You anti-Trumpers in the Second Amendment community whining and complaining about nonsensical things, about Amy Coney Barrett on one day, Pam Bond on another day, Donald Trump on another day, and you know exactly who you are .
Yeah, I know exactly who I am. Does he? Because if he thinks that’s why “we” do this, it makes me wonder what else he’s not factoring in, and how much of that is deliberate. To dismiss pointing out differences between promises and actions as “whining” is obnoxious and candidly, not an honest take.
Somebody’s got to point out when the emperor has no clothes, and our ideological leaders, of which he is one, shouldn’t be discouraging that.
As for Texas Gun Rights, which brought us the above-linked story, instead of dismissing them as “anti-Trump,” maybe we should talk with Brandon Hererra and Lt. Col. Allen West first.
And as long as I’m pointing out disagreements, as essential as “in common use” has proven to be in moving the ball this far, going forward it can and will be used to deny arms that are not. He’s had the opportunity to refute me and show me where I’m wrong, and truthfully, I wish he could.
As for criticisms earned by the Trump administration, and there are many in the mix, I keep coming back to how this could be easily avoided and we could live happily ever after singing his praises.
But not presuming to be “the smartest person in the room,” what the hell do I know?

The Latest Mood Swing
The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi has continued to attack Missouri’s Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA), treating it much the same way the Biden administration did. That decision is striking, because it puts Bondi’s DOJ at odds with both the text of the Constitution and President Trump’s own executive order directing agencies to protect Second Amendment rights.

A Good First Step
Nice to see something some of us have been calling for for almost 25 years — DOJ enforcing the Second Amendment — finally start to move forward. Be nicer to see it being about something more freedom-oriented than permits.

Ulterior Motives
AI Overview: Reports and analysis from legal observers and gun rights advocates indicate that the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) 2025 shift on firearm suppressors was a strategic legal maneuver. By conceding that suppressors are a form of “arm” under the Second Amendment, the DOJ laid the groundwork to defend the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act (NFA) tax and registration scheme against legal challenges.
