Colorado Republicans Ask AG Bondi to Utilize New Second Amendment Enforcement Task Force to Investigate ‘2A Infringements’ Happening in the State [More]
That’s why we need “civilian” Task Force partners.

Bondi Steps Up
Stephen Stamboulieh brings us some good news about Pam Bondi and DOJ doing something necessary and good by filing a brief in support of the Second Amendment, noting Hawaii trying to ban guns on private property without specific owner permnission effectively equates to a gun ban practically everywhere. This is a hopeful sign and we need to see more like this.
The challenge is another example of great legal navigation and piloting by Alan Beck.
As an aside, this is how “guntubing” ought to be, a subject matter authority articuately sharing knowledge and guidance, as opposed to mansplaining the work of others for clicks.
And pay attention to this, @ 7:15 in:
The Ninth Circuit needs to be broken up as a court. It’s too big, it’s way too powerful, and it does some really stupid things that we’re going to talk about in my 7 o’clock live tonight where I just lost $400,000 in that case.
That’s something we’ve talked about before.
From the People Running the ‘Second Amendment Task Force’
Government Opposes Compassionate Release of Gun Tuber Matthew Hoover For Terminal Medical Condition [More]
Read this. Let your blood boil. Then ask yourself why Pam Bondi, the ATF’s new supposedly “pro-gun” Chief Counsel, and that DOJ Civil Rights honcho we’ve been hearing such hopeful things about are going to allow this tyranny to continue.
Because they’ve been pulling this crap of modifying seized property into “illegality” for a long time. And again. And again.
And it’s not like they have legitmate delegated authority even if the items worked without forced engineering.
TheTask at Hand
We recognize the success of this Task Force will be vital. To that end, we promise to use our own resources to support the Task Force and collaborate with this administration in whatever way possible. We will stand beside you in Second Amendment litigation. We will provide administrative expertise as you decide how best to reform federal regulations in this area. [More]
That’s great, but aren’t some key people not being included?

I wish it would have said something about including gun owner advisors to help prevent more stupid disconnects, but I signed it.
Who’s Minding the Store? DOJ Siding with Letitia James Against Gun Companies
So, what gives with Podolsky’s very public filing, siding with notorious New York Democrat gun prohibitionists? And will AG Bondi and her new appointees now rein him in and slap him down? [More]
We’ve seen enough disconnects to make it fair to wonder if Bondi is being undermined or if she’s just talking out of both sides of her mouth.
UPDATE
I’ve submitted an update to this piece because, per GOA, DOJ reversed itself and is withdrawing from the case. If they’da listened to me from the start and included gun owner reps in their Task Force, they’d eliminate much of the uproar and embarrassing need to backtrack.
Let Us Help and Avoid All the Uproar
The Department of Justice has filed a motion to dismiss a case against Taylor Taranto for violations of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). [More]
If they’d include us in the strategizing, they wouldn’t keep stirring up resentment and need to issuing embarrassing public reversals after cluelessly provoking outrage.

Character Will Out
As Florida attorney general, Pam Bondi publicly supported the investigation and offered her condolences to Trayvon Martin’s family. She called Travyon’s negligent parents “amazing people” and described the family attorneys, including Crump, as “friends of mine.” [More]
The left has plenty of reasons to hate her.
Let’s make sure the love from “our side” isn’t blind.
She’s let us down before and her inconstant actions now raise plenty of questions.

Task Force’s Exclusion of Gun Owner Advocates Means Continuing DOJ Disappointments
Gun rights leaders and legal scholars could be identified and nominated to analyze and prioritize bills, lawsuits, regulations, opportunities, and threats, to advise on judicial and other federal nominees, and to help educate the public. [More]
Leaving the people most affected out of the discussion means they’ll end up being told instead of asked. Or as one comment poster notes, “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.”
Shall Not Be Infringed UNLESS…
The Morgan case is a case where a federal judge in Kansas found that machine gun possession charges are unconstitutional in violation of the Second Amendment as it applied to this individual Mr Morgan. This Kansas Morgan decision is now being contested by the Trump administration in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. In fact, the Trump DOJ just argued to the 10th Circuit that the decision down below should be reversed. They argue that machine guns are not in common use for lawful purposes in today’s society and that they are dangerous and unusual items and as dangerous and unusual items they can be restricted by the federal government essentially however they want. [Watch]
I hate to say I told you so.
And “pro-gun” lawyers — the ones coming up with all kinds of apologetic rationales for administration betrayals, helped set it.

Gun rights leaders and legal scholars could be identified and nominated to analyze and prioritize bills, lawsuits, regulations, opportunities, and threats, to advise on judicial and other federal nominees, and to help educate the public. The Office would provide a way for the public to express their concerns and to offer ideas and suggestions, meaning gun owners would have a conduit.

Current Wild Swings of the Gun Control Pendulum
Replacing Joe Biden’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention with an Office of Second Amendment Protection, with liaison members like new ATF Chief Counsel Leider, would mean no more surprises, no more cognitively dissonant legal positions, and no more disheartening gun owner who are feeling used, abandoned and betrayed.

All this back-and-forth has got to stop.
Big Win for Pam Bondi!
The Supreme Court sided with the federal government’s effort to regulate so-called ghost gun kits for making untraceable weapons. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion for seven justices upholding federal regulation, over dissent from Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. [More]

How DOJ squares that with “Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day,” has not been stated.

We’ll see if THIS comes into play:
Protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens is a high priority for @AGPamBondi. To that end, the Department will be re-evaluating some of its recent litigation positions on Second Amendment issues, including silencers.
