The Florida law that prohibits minors from purchasing firearms does not violate the Second and Fourteenth Amendments because it is consistent with our historical tradition of firearm regulation. [More]

My Friends, You Got Trouble
Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Simpson files brief for @TheJusticeDept arguing that silencers are NOT arms & are NOT protected by the Second Amendment. [More]
Did I hear someone say gun owners are losing patience?
Yeah, but he’s only been on the job two months and he’s got a lot on his plate and he’s playing a 3D chess game and… aside from “Would you rather have Kamala?” what excuse did I miss?
And any word on the Bondi report yet?

Jojo Krako 2A Protection
The 30-day mark for Bondi to report back to Trump through his domestic policy director would have been this past Sunday, March 9. On Thursday, a Department of Justice official confirmed to ABC News that the deadline had been extended to Sunday, March 16. [More]
Who’s missin’ deadlines? We’re extendin’ ’em.
At this posting, still no official word. Hopefully later today there will be a YUGE announcement.
A Forced Reset
The DOJ just filed a rebuttal of our Notice of Noncompliance calling out the ATF on their failure to comply with the court’s order to return FRTs. If we were hoping the new DOJ would do an about-face in this case, this ain’t it. The DOJ is arguing that FRTs stolen from gun owners can only be returned if they under go a background check. Absolutely not. [More]
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Restoration Project
About two weeks ago, Ms. Oyer was put on a working group to restore gun rights to people convicted of crimes, she said. [More]

See, it’s not “prickly” at all, Mel.
Well, maybe for NRA President “Lautenberg Bob” Barr…

Great Expectations
Is Bondi Going to Deliver on 2A or Not? [More]
Well, she’s already missed the 30-day deadline.
We need to keep realistic expectations on what she can do and whaty she can’t do. That said, one thing she can is to stand down where they’re being d!cks in court.

Time to Call in the Big Guns
Although the sponsors have attempted to sell this legislation as a bill that would “close a loophole in Colorado’s magazine capacity limit laws“, it took all of 90 seconds for gun owners and activists to realize this had nothing to do with magazines at all, but was instead a sweeping gun ban cloaked in lies, and once the complex and technical language was broken down, it became apparent how severe it was: worse than anything we have ever seen before. [More]
And when they get that, they’ll go after something else, because of course they’re talking about taking your guns.

Pam’s Priorities
‘Shifting ATF Resources. To free resources to address more pressing priorities, the Bureauof Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) shall shift resources from its Alcohol andTobacco Enforcement Programs to focus on matters relating to the other priorities set forth herein. No resources shall be diverted from the ATF’s regulatory responsibilities, such as federal firearms licenses and background checks. [More]
What else does “such as” include?
Rumor Has It
It has been brought to my attention by a confidential source within the Trump Administration that Pam Bondi, Attorney General, is pushing for a candidate with a strong law enforcement background to head the ATF. This is not what we voted for. [Watch]
Not this guy again, I hope…
If it’s the one “cop” on the list, we could do worse.

Bondi, Pam Bondi
Senate votes to confirm Pam Bondi as attorney general [More]
I guess now we see.
Bottom Line Republicans Didn’t Question Bondi on Her Anti-Gun Positions
How she ultimately conducts herself, despite her assurances to the Committee about resisting undue pressures from the White House, will reflect squarely on Donald Trump. He nominated her with full knowledge that her past actions rendered her unacceptable to many Second Amendment advocates counting on him to honor his campaign promises. [More]
So, it’s Bondi’s job as AG is to defend the law, regardless…? The Second Amendment is part of “the supreme Law of the Land.”
About the Bondi Hearing
I watched it. [More]
Did you?
Guess what no Republican asked her about.
Two anti-gun Democrats did, and I’ll be writing that exchange up for Firearms News.

Senate Should Demand Unequivocal Answers from Bondi on Second Amendment

Nothing will change until this happens:
Imagine now the Department of Justice under an actual Second Amendment advocate, and what it could do fighting infringements and prohibitionist lawfare waged by states with unlimited tax war chests in tandem with Astroturf prohibitionist groups funded by antigun elites. Right now, the costs to defend against these innumerable assaults on all levels are borne by gun rights groups and members of mostly modest means who can only support a fraction of what is needed. That equation could be turned on its head.
Think Pam Bondi will go for it…?

A Step in the Right Direction
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday reversed course and selected David Warrington as his top White House lawyer… [More]
He’s Chairman of the Board for the National Foundation for Gun Rights.
Let’s hope he’s the needed counterweight to Pam Bondi’s inclination to defend infringements.
