Much Ado About…What, Exactly?
The NFA Ruling That Changes Everything—And Changes Nothing… Every advance we have made toward restoring the Second Amendment has been within a framework that the government built and can rebuild. [More]
That, and where’s the “guidance” on home-builds, private transfers, gun trusts, SOTs, interstate travel, sentence enhancements…?
Yeah, I know, I know, would I rather have Kamala…?
Landru, Guide Us!
Tell Congress: Force ATF To Provide Guidance! All over the country, gun shops have been advising their customers that they’re awaiting guidance from ATF on how to go about transferring an unregistered short barreled firearm or suppressor. [More]
In my case, it’s a waste of time.
Do it if it’s not a waste of yours.

Per Guns & Gadgets:
New reporting indicates ATF headquarters has instructed local field offices not to independently interpret the NFA injunction, while DOJ and ATF have allowed the plaintiffs’ requested August 21 deadline for implementation answers to pass without a public response.

$#!+ or Go Blind?
That raises an uncomfortable legal question GRNC’s counsel has flagged: if federal registration is impossible for a covered item, does not being registered still count as being “in compliance with” the federal scheme for purposes of North Carolina’s exception? No court or state authority has answered that question. Until one does, NC gun owners are in a zone of legal ambiguity. [More]
So… I take it Ted Davis and Bill Brisson will be no help?
A Common Mistake
ATF’s newly updated registry shows 6,654,209 suppressors, more than 1.2 million short-barreled rifles, and over 8.1 million registered items across four major NFA categories. In this video, we examine how the government’s own numbers strengthen the “common use” argument under Heller, Caetano, and Bruen—and further undermine the constitutional foundation of the National Firearms Act. [Watch]
Yeah, well, don’t get too comfortable with “common use” being the cutoff for protected arms.

The Problem States
Several states currently have laws that require some form of approval from the Federal government under the current National Firearms Act (NFA). These states will have to pass new legislation to make suppressor ownership legal under the laws should deregulation proceed. If things progress quickly, you may not be able to buy a suppressor in these states. [More]
How’s your state doing?

Just like that? You’re sure? No pre-conditions or memberships needed? FFLs are all sure of what they need to do? Got all those questions for DOJ answered?
I’d hate to think people who had nothing to do with it and don’t know what they’re talking about are spreading bad legal advice.
And when are you going to do something about oath-breaking Republican power players like Ben Albritton?
Ohio Republicans, They Thirst for Death
Ohio’s Unfinished Suppressor Reform Leaves a State-Law Trap for Gun Owners [More]
Fresh on the heels of killing the Freedom to Carry Act. And not correcting state and county fair citizen disarmament edicts.
And they wonder why it looks like Sherrod Brown is polling ahead of 2A squish Jon Husted and Vivek isn’t running over Amy Acton.
“Hudson Antifa” is not an anomaly. The state is in danger of going blue– I think it will. And clueless Vichycons are doing nothing to put fire in gun owner bellies.
Ohio Gun Owners names names. And while it’s easy for some to dismiss them based hostility against the Dorr brothers, resist ad hominem dismissal for a moment and see for yourself if A ratings and endorsements are deserved.
‘Bowing to Pressure’
“The Department of Justice had the opportunity to act to protect our safety, but it failed to do so,” Kris Brown, the president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said in a statement, noting the campaign from Republican lawmakers. “Our elected officials are supposed to serve the American people, not the gun industry’s bottom line. Today, the gun industry and silencer dealers are celebrating, while Americans are left less safe.” [More]
Couldn’t find anyone to refute that unmitigated horses#!+, could you, “real reporter” Chris Cameron?
They show their cards in the first sentence, about what you’d expect from “The newsraper of record.”
Randy Weaver called. He wants his wife and son back.

Well, not by everyone…
Who’s the Boss?
Multiple admin sources tell me the DOJ official pushing to appeal the case to the 5th Circuit is attorney Brett Shumate, who oversees the civil division at DOJ. Sources expressed shock at the extent to which Shumate seems to be controlled by anti-2A and anti-gun career bureaucrats within DOJ. [More]
Seeing as how all hands received a clear 2A directive with instructions to comply, where are the insubordination terminations?

The Silent Treatment
Therefore, any photos of silencer parts that someone submits to ATF can be legally seen as pictures of silencers—for which the applicant does not yet have authorization to possess. [More]
That’s why I use Chore Boy–the most trusted name in unregistered NFA firearms!
Who Couldn’t See That Coming?
I do not understand why these lawyers are not being babysat by the Second Amendment unit of the Department of Justice because I cannot believe that people like Harmeet Dhillon would have signed off on the brief that was just filed by the Department of Justice in the Chris Brown versus BATF case… [Watch]
I understand why. I can believe it.
I don’t blame embedded subversives any more than the frog should blame the scorpion. I blame those they report to who have let them stay on and get away with it.

Suppressors removed from the Munitions List will instead be placed on the Commerce Control List and regulated under the Export Administration Regulations. [More]
And the delegated authority for either…?
A Taxing Situation
…Congress’ taxing power cannot be used to support the NFA since the tax for suppressors and short-barreled firearms was eliminated in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Eliminating that tax, therefore, no longer justifying Congress’ taxing power under the NFA. [More]
As if the Framers would have considered any part of the NFA to be a legitimate power of Congress, so yeah, deck chairs on the Titanic, but I you gotta start somewhere.
