Dear Infringers,

Accordingly, we urge you to: 1) Issue a public statement that the ATF will not take further enforcement action regarding the classification of braced pistols as short-barrel rifles under the NFA; 2) Issue an interpretive rule clarifying that firearms equipped with stabilizing braces do not qualify as short-barreled rifles under the NFA; and 3) Through ongoing litigation, enter into a judicially-enforceable consent agreement, which would 1) permanently enjoin the ATF from attempting to revive the Biden-era Rule through new rulemaking and 2) permanently enjoin the ATF from taking any further enforcement action related to the classification of braced pistols as short-barreled rifles under the NFA.

Must be primaries and midterms coming up…

Sorry, don’t mean to sound so cynical and distrusting. It’s just that I’m cynical and distrusting.

Biden… Excuse Me, I Mean Trump Administration Coming After Pistol Braces… Again

He not only made numerous promises to Americans regarding the Second Amendment, but he also specifically referenced the pistol brace rule, going so far as to say he would tear it up immediately upon moving back into the White House. How then have we arrived at the current impasse? [More]

This is a brave article when you realize the epic fury of the MINOs (MAGA in Name Only) will be vented not at the serial breaker of campaign promises, but at the writer and the magazine. I say this as someone who has prompted more than one demand for a publisher to choose between firing me or having their subscription cancelled.

Here’s the thing before dismissing this as “blackpilling”: Find one charge made that’s not documented. Pointing out his betrayals is not a betrayal of him. To not point them out would be a betrayal of ourselves.

Those of us calling Trump and his administration to task have offered course correction after course correction to steer things right again, only to see him ignore us and order full ramming speed. And it could have all been avoided with some simple inclusion.

If the Dems take it all it won’t be because of Cassandras’ urgent warnings. It will be because those warnings were unheeded, suppressed, ignored, disparaged, denounced, and ridiculed.

So Much for Assurances

Rogue ATF Defies Federal Courts, Continues To Target Law-Abiding Gun Owners Over ‘Illegal’ Pistol Brace Rule [More]

But…but…but Cekada:

“NSSF-Supported ATF Director Nominee Cekada Questioned at Senate Hearing, Vows ‘Not to Burden Law-Abiding Gun Owners’” the National Shooting Sports Foundation effused… the American Suppressor Association weighed in. “If confirmed, he would be the first ever truly pro-Second Amendment nominee to head the agency.”

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.”

Brace Yourselves

They say that the court cannot enjoin the ATF from enforcing legal theories, only final agency rules. They argue that because the pistol brace rule no longer exists, the court has no authority to block the ATF’s interpretation that brace pistols are in fact SBRs. In other words, they are not denying that they hold that legal view at all. They are only saying that the court cannot stop them from using it. And that is a huge red flag. And so in this case, they’re saying, you know, the rule is dead. Throw this case out, but you cannot touch any underlying legal theories that we have because that’s not an at issue in this case.

Muster Call?

Stalled 2A Bills Need Your Support [More]

Say everybody floods the switchboards and the bills make it out of committee. Then what?

I see the 2A blogosphere and guntubers mobilizing on this while actual doable priorities remain ignored and mostly unknown. I’d say at least it will help flush out committee RINOs, but then have to ask what gun owners will do about it, because they all seem to flourish with impunity.

But far be it for the “no compromise gun lobby” to notice this.

Nothin’ at this writing…

I miss Larry’s leadership.
