"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."

Sen. Chuck Schumer on Sunday pushed the federal government to give New York at least $1.5 billion to help get illegal guns off the streets. [More]
How much to take violent criminals off the street, or is that too politically toxic to discuss?

A new federal indictment accuses Kristopher “Justin” Ervin of Orange Park and Matthew R. Hoover of Coloma, Wisconsin, of conspiring to illegally distribute unregistered conversion equipment, which the indictment equates with distributing machine guns. The list of charges from a federal grand jury in Jacksonville replaces one filed last spring against Ervin alone, detailing new claims from investigators’ probe of his online sale of credit card-sized metal strips under the product name Auto Key Card.

In an exclusive interview, retired Oakland Police Capt. Ersie Joyner describes a fatal armed robbery where he killed a man and ended up surviving 22 bullet wounds. [Watch]
How do you think that would have ended had he not been an "Only One" in "may issue" Oakland? And he was on his way to the airport with a gun on his person?
I guess being in the pot business doesn't mean he's prohibited like a user would be...
And as for crediting ShotSpotter, you'd think the system would produce a result once in a while.

When K.N.C. asked to see the court order, Tragesser “forcibly shoved (her) against the wall, dislodging her eyeglasses and causing injury to her head and shoulder,” court documents say. He then arrested the mother, along with her boyfriend, for “kidnapping” her children. [More]
Chances are the mother is no prize, but this guy being a thug sure didn't help the kids.

He still thinks "the Founding Fathers gave us the right to own guns," and the Constitution is "what gives us freedom," but at least he looks like he's starting to wake up. Change of heart notwithstanding, it's disheartening to see, based on approving comments, that none of the hundreds of thousands of people this video is influencing have a clue about that fundamental truth.

Dan Eldridge, the owner of Maxon Shooter’s Supplies and Indoor Range in Des Plaines, Illinois – located just 20 minutes outside Chicago – told Fox News that his shop had seen more than a 200% increase in firearm sales since the height of the pandemic and stay-at-home orders. [More]

The most likely goal is not to convict them. Not even. The idea is to cause economic harm by having to navigate Just-Us. Going to trial is a 1/4 million dollar minimum win lose or draw. The public defender route almost never works out. The goal is to publicly shame and to economically break the company or individual. It is a common tactic that has been documented time and again.
