Ares Armor and ATF hearing taken off calendar as more questions emerge

At this point it is unknown if FTB will reconsider based on the clarified manufacturing process, or whether FTB might consider the precursor receiver a “firearm” regardless based on the effort and sophistication necessary to complete the receiver and make it functional. Also at issue is whether ATF agents relied on the FTB assessment or had subsequent information leading them to question it, which could have implications on sworn “probable cause” statements they submitted to the court in order to obtain warrants for seizures from Ares, EP Armory, and other suppliers.

This evening’s Gun Rights Examiner exclusive report notes by all rights this should not even be an issue, but nonetheless, those who may be caught up in it should heed some warnings.

We're the Only Ones Heating Things Up Enough

Mentally Ill Inmate ‘Bakes To Death’ At Rikers Island Jail [More]

An' we hepped!

Even if It's Not a "Problem"

The antis will make it one. [More]

We're the Only Ones All in the Family Enough

I came across this site while looking for something else. [More]

I wonder why there isn't a similar page for NRA members, especially since we outnumber them by something like 42 to 1...

We're the Only Ones Strong-Arming Enough

No way that wasn't intentional. [Read and watch]

Backstreet Boy

Peter Matsko...

All kinds of things you can find out once you have a name--for instance, he appears to be a New Jersey transplant. Plus plenty more, for those inclined to find it...

Let's Melt those Polar Ice Caps

The rainforest and old growth redwoods are in dire need of carbon dioxide for their very survival, so some New York gun owners decide to help out. [More]

Naturally, "progressives" are against it.

We're the Only Ones Going to the Dogs Enough

I wish I could say "Unbelievable" instead of "Again?" [More]

Perhaps most disturbing about this are the comments by "Mobile Marine." He leaves little doubt that he'd follow orders. Any orders.

Gun Facts 2014 Fundraiser

If you don't use this site as a resource, you're not properly equipping yourself. [More]

If you're not even aware of this site, you need to be.

If you do use this site, how about returning value for value received?

Or do you think there's just too much correct information out there to counter all the lies?

Georgia on My Mind

A sweeping gun bill passed the Georgia Senate late Tuesday, but it’s not the one the House wanted. [More]
Say, if you're from Georgia, you're a member of this group, right?

Because if enough gun owners manned up to shouldering a share of the load, this stuff wouldn't even be an issue.

When Seconds Count...

...the "Only Ones" are nowhere to be found. [Watch]

Point of order: There are plenty of peaceable people who consider themselves "anarchists." As with "liberal," the term has been co-opted. I'd classify this mob more as "Bolsheviks." And "@$$h0!e$."

Interesting, ordering a citizen to stop video recording.  So much for being anti-authority.  But then again, what is it we've learned about "progressives"?

Now imagine if the community they're vandalizing their way through were faced with a serious threat, instead of these laughable morons.

Keep believing and electing anti-gunners, Portland!  The way I figure it, the more conveniently available cannibal food there is, the less incentive there'll be to go after us harder targets.  Funny, the way Nature has arranged the predator/prey equation, and the penalties it imposes on the oblivious and the weak.

10 Things Catey Hill Won't Tell You

Do we really need to know the other nine?

Avoidance

This ENTIRE fiasco could have been avoided by the manufacturer receiving a determination letter from the ATF saying that the item isn’t a firearm. [More]
I can think of another way it could have been avoided.

Branching Off into Hoplophobia?

Bear thinks charges should be filed against the people who made the police report. [More]

I typically apply the "me" test. What's not clear is how far away the guy with the stupid tat who elected to make sure it was seen was from the workers, how long they saw him, and how much he was moving.

Having been stumped before watching "Brain Games," I have to wonder what my reaction would have been, and what the typical reaction would be, just based on the way we're wired.

It's a Wonder

I can't help but wonder how many of the beneficiaries of this ruling will appreciate it, as opposed to... [More]

I wonder how many realize those who opposed this, the ones who posture like they care about the "less fortunate" (itself a collectivist reframing of terms designed to excuse poor choices and gin up resentment of individual achievement) would rather see them dead than armed.

I wonder how many would still agree with  Jason Whitlock.

With "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

Sic Itur ad Inferni Novissima

This is why we're not on Mars, and why we don't have thriving moon bases and Kubrick's revolving wheel space station... [More]

At least they have funding for celebrity-led sexual diversity training.

Progress, "progressive"-style. Remember, for them, every day is Opposite Day.

Ain't that right, American hero Mark Kelly?
