Above the Law

 "Make no mistake—this is clear evidence that a partial national gun registry exists," Johnston said. "If the American people don't stand up for their rights now, Biden's anti-gun ATF will be able to track gun owners, infringe on our rights, and potentially even confiscate our firearms." [More]

If you're on Team Totalitarian, being in-your-face about ignoring laws you'd put "little people" away for is one of the perks.

Here's Congress's November letter reminding ATF of their database restrictions and the response telling them to "be assured that ATF always conducts a rigorous review to address issues raised through the public comment process."

 

Uh-huh.

It would be nice to reestablish a Republican majority, but this time one with the sand to bring charges.

The 2A means nothing unless you are willing to personally enforce it.

^ This. The Second Amendment was designed as the failsafe for when representative government fails. Expecting representative government to defend in on our behalf is missing the entire point.

That pretty much describes the opinion of people in hell regarding a glass of ice water.

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself."

How's that self control working out so far?

"rigorous"

They keep using that word. I don't think it means what they think it means.
