ATF whistleblower website decries disproportionate discrimination complaints
Illinois gun owners on hold for compliance instructions on private sales
Why the information is not available now, and what the reason is for waiting so long to inform the public have not been stated, but suspecting official indifference or even hostility to gun owner concerns would hardly be without precedent, especially since ISP appears to be doing bare minimum and no gun owner outreach is planned. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes grudging, in-your-face foot-dragging by insolent “public servants” who have been allowed to presume that you work for them. In short, they don’t care because they don’t have to.
Disappointing, But Hardly Unexpected
Take a good look. I'd estimate probably 97% will do what they're told and come up with all kinds of rationalizations for it. [More]
It's a terrible choice to force someone to make. Most will opt for the illusion of temporary safety, as opposed to mass civil disobedience. It's just the way things are.
The handful who defy are made more vulnerable. Of course, such radicals are generally chastised by the more pragmatic for making "us" all look bad anyway. Hey, if we don't like the law, we can work democratically to change it, right?

Póg Mo Thóin
While spreading Toys for Totalitarians cheer, Mike tells the governor of Maryland to...well, let this Irish fellow here explain to those of you who don't understand Gaelic:
I guess I shouldn't have referred to "spreading cheer" in relation to that. Anyway, now that we've got that out of the way, read Mike's missive.
