Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before
Gun Store Owner Indicted for Conspiracy and Attempting to Provide Material Support to Designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations [More]
News stories here. Guns and Gadgets comentary here.
It’s hard to believe an FFL intimately familiar with ATF oversight could be this stupidly self-destructive and risk all over such limited returns, and anyone who remembers the ordeal of the Reese family, and how the full weight of the government, lying witnesses, and frozen assets make an adequate defense nigh-on impossible, will have their skepticism meter turned to “High.”
I stipulate I just heard about this story and have no evidence to back that up. It’s just that I don’t have a high degree of confidence that ATF has always been a truthful source about U.S. guns to Mexico.

Today’s Low-Hanging Fruit Report
Joshua Morency, 28, of Dorchester, allegedly sold 21 firearms to a law enforcement informant at a Stop & Shop parking lot and a Shell station, among other sites. [More]
I wonder what they had on the snitch, because I can’t believe anyone would be stupid enough to sell to someone he didn’t trust.
It’s a joke, boy. You missed it.

Straw Man
Manning admitted on April 17, 2025, that he knowingly and willfully joined into an agreement to sell guns to prohibited individuals. [More]
I actually more concerned about people who knowingly and willingly allow predators they know can’t be trusted without a custodian back into the population.

Where Credit is Due
According to the actual complaint, a Florida gun dealer became suspicious of Delgado after he tried to purchase his fourth Barrett rifle, which can retail for $10,000 or more. As a result, the gun dealer contacted the ATF directly. [More]
If he hadn’t reported suspicions he’d have been treated as a co-conspirator. That, to me, is the greater issue.

District Attorney’s Office Announces Largest Gun Trafficking Case In County History [More]
Anybody see any “right-wing extremist white supremacists” in the bunch?
What I see are people I’d associate with the Democrat side of the street who have no intention of obeying the disarmament edicts imposed on the “law-abiding.”

Those Who Can’t
Hillsborough County teacher tried to smuggle guns to foreign country [More]
Thank goodness it turns out she was just a “straw purchaser.” After the last post, I was wondering how she would get them past the TSA scanner.
Just looking at the haul, she’d have had to be, like Stacey Abrams, to get them all to fit.

Straw Man Argument
Case Dismissed Against Gun Shops Sued By Maryland and DC [More]
John Crump has the scoop.
Funny, how Google suppresses AmmoLand on its “news” feed.

Grabbing at Straws
No One Knows What It’s Like to be the Gladman
A Public/Private Partnership
This lengthy lawsuit by the Maryland and D.C. attorneys general, as well as Everytown Law, accuses Engage Armament, LLC, United Gun Shop and Atlantic Guns, Inc. of ignoring clear signs of illegal gun sales. The lawsuit claims the purchases happened in Montgomery County, but led to gun violence across the area. [More]
Of course “background checks” aren’t enough — they were never intended to be.
I’m just surprised NSSF hasn’t joined in the pile-on.

Turkey in the Straw
Federal report finds 68,000 guns were illegally trafficked through unlicensed dealers over 5 years [More]
Sounds like private sellers are the villains here, doesn’t it?
It’s manipulation. Langley Outdoors Academy funnels things down for us.

Sue the Gun Store!
A woman has been sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison after taking part in the straw purchase of a handgun that was used to kill one central Illinois police officer and wound another during a shootout. [More]
So muxh for FOIDs and background checks.
What we really need are commonsense idiot Democrat constituency control laws.
