DOJ Backs ATF’s Hunter Biden Privacy Excuse in FOIA Appeal

 

“ATF properly refused to confirm or deny the existence of such records,” he insisted. “Confirming or denying the existence of such records, including law enforcement records … would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy …” [More]

The official Biden DOJ position is this is none of our business.

The Friends of My Enemies

 I just don't have time tonight to look into this, but this business of "Republicans" Brian Stewart and Bob Peterson being bankrolled by Soros/Steyer needs a serious looking into. [More]

The Best Laid Schemes

 Jefferson County parks & rec district drops concealed carry ban effort after ‘numerous’ public comments [More]

Good on the sheriff for speaking out against it.

I'm thinking there may have been one or two private comments as well.

Patsys Wanted: Inquire Within

 It's required to ask at the outset of leftists' 1/6 'Truth Commission': How much of what led to Donald Trump supporters 'storming the capitol' was a setup? [More]

Anybody ever get an answer about magnetic locks?

The Wrong Man

 Former ATF Colleagues Write Letter Opposing Biden Director Nominee: ‘Wrong Man for the Job’ [More]

Fine and good, he's an unqualified dick, but I'm more interested in the agents who say he's a fraud.

The People Have Spoken

Streamlining the Controls

I Have Some Good News and Some Bad News

 Pandemic driving gun, ammo sales, police and firearm instructors being left high and dry [More]

If it diminishes "blue state" disarmament enforcement capabilities, what's the problem?

I question the correlation/causation presumption here. I think the demand has more to do with Americans seeing how Democrat rule is making everything more dangerous.

No 'One-Size-Fits-All' Solution?

That's a pretty nuanced way for an AP "reporter" to refer to unruly and destructive Marxist trespassers.

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

 


"It" could never happen here, right?

I see stuff like this and I keep coming back to the story in Exodus where Moses goes up to the mountain and when he comes back, the idiots have fashioned a golden calf. That always baffled me as a child, thinking they'd seen the plagues of Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, manna from Heaven... and I was thinking that such forgetfulness and ingratitude just didn't ring true with the way people behave in real life.

Show you how sheltered I was -- or at least the type of values my parents made sure I was immersed in.

Then we see their latter-day counterparts who have seen the miracle that is -- or was -- this country, with so much right in spite of all the wrong that the rest of the world wants to come here for all the benefits our way of life has produced-- and they all want those benefits but demand to tear down the foundations and change the ways into what demonstrably cannot produce anything but renewed bondage, poverty, and misery.

There's no shortage of evil people eager to impose that bondage. They all want our guns. And that's also fine with the idiots in this video who signed the paper.
