Brace Yourselves

In a blunt court filing from Monday, March 16, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) urged a federal judge to dismiss a high-profile challenge to its now-defunct pistol stabilizing brace rule, arguing the case has become completely moot. At the same time, the agency made clear it has no intention of abandoning enforcement against certain braced pistols under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Gun Control Act (GCA). [More]

See, when Pam says “full might,” she also means “full might not.”

Gun Prohibitionists Siding with DOJ on NFA Registration

None of this is done to disparage recognized and deservedly lauded good and unprecedented positions being taken by DOJ that would, admittedly, never have happened under any other administration to date. But that does not require Second Amendment advocates to turn a blind eye to when those positions turn cognitively dissonant. [More]

“Friendly fire” can be more devastating than what’s coming from the enemy.

Tools of the Trade

And then I think you’ll see once you read that it’s pretty clear that what Bondi and the Department of Justice are going after Maduro for is not the mere possession of a machine gun. It’s the possession of a machine gun intending to and actually furthering a federal felony in the form of either narco-terrorism or cocaine importation into the United States. They’re using a gun essentially to rob a bank and that is not protected in respect under the Second Amendment and thus I would not lose any sleep about this. [Watch]

I’m chewing on this one. The criminal act is one thing. Possession is another and I see potential for losing all kinds of sleep, depending on what the associated “crime” is.

In any case, carrying this out in Manhattan under a Clinton judge with a grand jury drawn from an electorate that voted for Mamdani makes me wonder if this whole mess is going to blow up in Bondi’s and Trump’s faces, and what effect that will have on the midterms.

People They Can Work With?

Well, I was the one complaining about not enough outsiders on the “Task Force”…

Cutting His Losses?

And if Trump does, will they turn on him?

Been thinking for some time that he and Bongino are Peter Principled out.

‘Just Following Orders’

So DOJ is just following orders?

Precedent says that’s no excuse:

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].

As for voting to change the law, what they’re saying is individual citizens in solid blue states are f_d by a tyranny of the majority. What they’re saying the Bill of Rights isn’t worth the parchment it’s printed on.

A true champion of the Second Amendment, eh? I wonder what Fletcher thinks.

He’ll be a DOJ team player. This is how the team plays:

Speaking of Using Full Might

But…but…but the memorandum…

It’ll be interesting to see how this gets spun as a good thing…

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.
