Rage from the doctrinaire citizen disarmament lobby and its followers was often mob-ugly, with Bill of Rights supporters essentially blood-libeled for the actions of the lawless, and with the gulf between those who demand a monopoly of violence and those who will not back up another inch shown to be unbridgeable.

ATF checking on Chinese ammo manufacturing equipment import cutoff report
It should be noted that his inability to locate a ruling does not prove or disprove its existence. There may not be such a rule or there may be and it has just not been well-communicated throughout the Bureau or to the public. If it does exist, it may not even be new -- this just may be the first time anyone has called it to wider attention. That such a determination is not (yet?) listed with other Rulings proves nothing either, as that list being incomplete is deemed by some critics to be what those who make arbitrary decisions prefer. And it may be a ruling communicated via a private letter, not generally distributed beyond its intended recipient and potentially very difficult to track down (and possibly even requiring a Freedom of Information Act request to do so). [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report wonders who we can ask about the "rules," if not those tasked with enforcing them.

So Much for Doctor-Patient Confidentiality
State Rep. James Grant, R-Tampa, believes the provision could open the door to lawyers asking doctors about the gun-toting habits of their patients and, over time, use the information to build a database of gun owners who could be charged higher insurance rates. [More]So why wouldn't gun owners throw such questions right back in their doctor's face?
I'm thinking of setting up an online seminary/downloadable diploma, where professionals who deal with confidential client information but can otherwise be compelled by law to give it up can get ordained, and lend the added protection of priest/parishioner counseling to each encounter... :-)
Greasing the Incline
But the opposite could easily be true. After requiring background checks, the government may be more reluctant to impose other restrictions on gun ownership.

And it's not a slope this subversive would lead us down, it's a precipice.

The China Syndrome
He heard back through their broker and was informed that just 3 days before, our government made it illegal to export that equipment to US citizens. [More]I'd like to track down the agency order for that -- it seems plausible, as ammunition manufacturing machines are specified in ITAR as being on the US Munitions List, and we've seen that the administration is doing what it can to "clarify" things with that by involving Eric Holder.
I would question the "all you need is $30" assumption. I have no idea what ITAR licensing requirements and fees would be, as well as permits, licensing, zoning and insurance requirements for wherever this neo-entrepreneur wants to set up shop, but I'd think if he were doing things properly, like he's serious about starting a viable effort, he'd have a knowledgeable lawyer advising on his business plan before he commits himself too far and finds he's dug himself into a hole.
That said, if this is more "under the radar" sabotage that we only find out about by surprise, we need to find out, we need to find out what else has been/is being done, and we need to find out if the big gun and industry groups have been caught napping or just didn't think it was worth making noise over.
But first, we need to find out if this is true. I have a call in to someone who may be able to help.

"I personally think we need a cooling-off period." [More]You may just guarantee several with that attitude. And since when is what you personally think a claim on the rights of others? I don't suppose confining it to how you personally conduct yourself and leave everybody else the hell alone is an option with you?
Let's see, we had a bunch of murders in a "gun-free" zone, so the solution is to make sure they stay that way, at least for people inclined to obey such edicts.
Just Another Newtown Away
Some of us have been saying this all along. [Read]
That's why "our leaders" dancing around proposing compromises on meaningless BS, when they should be screaming from the rooftops about the blame lying squarely on phony "gun free zones," are so maddening.
Yes, there will be another Newtown. In a "gun-free zone." Which, naturally, this article makes no mention of, despite giving plenty of ink to the gun-grabbers and their certain prescription for catastrophe.

I'd love to see somebody remix this to replace "banana" with "Obama."
Until then, there's always this...

Special Interests
US imam calls on Muslims in US to wage jihad...Cairo-born Elsayed is a citizen of the United States. The mosque’s name, al-Hijrah, refers to the Islamic strategy of using migrants to gradually expand Islam into new territories. [More]He's actually "a dual citizen of Egypt and the US," and that leads to a bit of a conflict, especially since in order to make that happen, he raised his hand and repeated this:
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."It hardly appears like he's holding up his part of the bargain.
It's fair to ask whose interests it serves to not just welcome such enemies into the fold, but to encourage more. It's also fair to ask why no one seems interested in invoking the denaturalization provisions of INA § 340(a), 8 U.S.C. § 1451 (a) "if the person procured naturalization 'by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation.'"
Ah well, I'm sure the political leaders and their shadow backers have only the best interests of "our democracy" in mind as they re-engineer the Republic, to include disarming you and me for our own good.
