Off-Target

Grieving mother sues ghost gun kit maker Polymer80 for fatal shooting of daughter in the Bronx [More]

Now give us background on the killer, on all those “existing gun laws” that didn’t stop him, and on the data that concludes any new one would have.

He didn’t hit the right targets either.

Now It’s In for the Kill

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said Wednesday his office has reached a settlement with Polymer80, one of the largest makers of ghost gun kits and parts in the nation, that will prevent the company from advertising and selling its firearms in Maryland. The company will also pay $1.2 million in damages. [More]

Ransom Paid

Polymer80, the nation’s largest producer of at-home gun assembly kits — sometimes called “ghost guns” because they typically come without serial numbers and are impossible to trace — agreed to pay $5 million in penalties to settle a civil suit, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office.

Sounds Like Retaliation to Me

COURT DOCS: ATF staffer admits to passing confidential records to gun rights groups [More]

This is what happens when the ones who want to do the right thing don’t get whistleblower protection, and why Mike and I were so adamant about not trusting Holder’s DOJ but instead pressed Senate Judiciary and House Oversight to do the right thing, even if only for political reasons of their own.

It’s why I’m going to Oversight again on the Secret Service/Hunter Biden allegations. This time, on my own and with no insiders to bring in, I’m afraid it’s proving even more of an uphill battle.

So which “gun rights group” was it he was feeding information to? If it were me, I’d be out there banging pots and pans and defending him. Let’s hope someone can assure us he’s not being left hanging out there to dry.

Curses, Foiled Again!

The Court ORDERS that Defendants and their officers, agents, servants, and employees are enjoined from implementing or enforcing against Polymer80, Inc. or its customers, in any manner, the provisions in 27 C.F.R. § 478.11 and 478.12 that this Court has determined are likely unlawful. [More]

Garland again,

This didn’t age well, did it, Leon?

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
