So the gun really did "go off"? If so, PLCAA will not (nor should it) apply. [Watch]

Is this the one where there was some kind of unique training ammo being blamed, or was that a different story?

What gets me is they're making these very serious allegations and still continuing to deploy with the guns, ostensibly endangering themselves and everyone around them if they believe their charges to be true.

And the Conflation Continues

Aside from smearing a group that has fidelity to the Constitution and a prohibition on racial discrimination baked into its bylaws as "antigovernment" and "racist," I note a total absence of recognition of the difference between Constitutionalists and national socialists, and no admission and condemnation of identical tactics being used by the "alt/left."

"A lot of this, we don’t want to talk about,” Brokaw said. “But the fact is, on the Republican side, a lot of people see the rise of an extraordinary, important, new constituent in American politics, Hispanics, who will come here and all be Democrats." [More]

Is the Firearms Industry Selling the Guns Which Will Be Used to Enslave Us?


We’ve wandered far from “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,” have we not? Likewise, George Mason’s observation that “They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers” seems lost, especially now that the enforcers seem more reminiscent of the “swarms of public officers” noted in the Declaration.

Rift Over NRA Highlights Fundamental Divide among Gun Owners


What will ignoring grievances accomplish, and how will it keep more of them from occurring? Some of us believe we are in an existential fight for the future of the Republic, and one that can devolve into much more serious conflicts than calling each other names.

Tracking Down a Shutdown NICS Allegation:

From an email received yesterday:
My FFL guy just told me that he got an email today from ATF, stating that in the absence of an LTC, they are only doing NICS checks 8a-5p M-F, and not at all on the weekends.  I asked him if this was because of the shutdown. He said that he didn't know, and the letter didn't say.
We knew data reportingwould be delayed and it's been reported "those processing applications for new FFLs or suppressor transfers haven’t clocked in since last month."  But this information seemingly contradicts the FY 2019 DOJ Contingency Plan, which states:
Excepted personnel also include nearly all federal employees supporting the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). 
I've asked my source for a copy of the email letter and have put out a few feelers. Anybody got anything definitive to add?
