A Sporting Proposition


Kurt's latest JPFO Alert looks at ATF's newest in-your-face act of contempt, spite and retaliation against gun owners. [More]

ATF claims Administrative Procedures Act exemption for proposed ammo ban notice

Per Denise Brown of ATF Enforcement Programs and Services in this afternoon’s telephone conversation, this will “not actually be a [regulatory] change, more of a policy along those lines.” Brown said the framework document is a notice only, and will therefore not be published in the Federal Register, characterizing the document’s intent as “information gathering” in order to collect technical information, which could affect the Bureau’s final determination.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes keeping and bearing arms denied to We the People isn't the only exemption ATF is claiming.

Busy as Beaver-Staters

Three counties, Curry, Columbia and Jackson all have scheduled action on pro-gun measures. [More]
I'd ask you to help spread the word and maybe help support those bringing it to us, but I'm afraid some apparently take offense to that.

Yeah, Sure, You're a "Responsible" Hand Owner

Until you turn into a strangler! [More]

Looks like we don't have to worry about the troll making this stupid argument ever turning into a rapist, although he sure sounds like he'd get off watching.

By the way, the late Rondo Hatton, pictured, was a patriotic American veteran, among his other life accomplishments.

Hitting a Snag

Remember this bit of subversive harassment?

It looks like it's  not going anywhere, thanks to whomever took the news and became a force multiplier with it.

The Gilded Cage State

...a looming decision in a federal lawsuit could effectively ban handguns altogether in the Golden State... [More]
But no one wants to take your guns, you paranoids!

You know what? Just do it.

Then enforce it.

We're the Only Ones Unauthorized Enough

That explains it.  It doesn't explain why, but it explains it. [More]

It also explains this.

No Legitimate Thwarting Purpose

Next thing you know, the gunkooks will want to legalize cinder blocks and other lethal implements you can't hunt deer with! [More]

Nice touch, adding that Jack Ruby connection there, government media semi-official spokesperson Kathy Hieatt and your Virginia-Pilot overseers! Why if only he hadn't slugged Lee Harvey Oswald so hard...

You go, Alfonso Lopez!  Why, if adults didn't have you telling us what we may own, and forcing us to choose between knuckling under or having your enforcers "persuade" us,  just think of the chaos that would ensue!

We're the Only Ones Unencouraging Enough

“While we do not encourage the public to take matters into their own hands, we praise the swift actions of the homeowner,” said West Shore RCMP spokesman Const. Alex Berube. [More]
"...take matters into their own hands..."

Right, Alex.

An intruder with a hammer/pick is in their home at 3 a.m., and they're supposed to let him be the one to call the shots.

I'm just surprised you didn't call the home owner a "vigilante."

We're the Only Ones Black and White and Red All Over Enough

It shows St. Louis police making an arrest that would later be called abusive, and catches an apparently surprised officer yelling, in part, “Everybody hold up. We’re red right now!” before she abruptly shuts off the camera. [More]
Yes, you see, we're modest. We don't expect any extra credit, recognition and praise for securing the blessings of liberty, and no need to thank us -- we're just doing our job.

Scamming the Well-Intentioned

This has always been a sore spot, parasites siphoning away funds that could have been used to accomplish something good, and instead just lining their own pockets. [More]

Thing is, even groups with good percentages may be doing bad things with the money.  For instance, the "leader" and one of the also-rans...

And it's not just PACs.
