Testimony, in that case, revealed there are untold numbers of unregistered machine guns currently owned by Americans that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives not only knows about but actually created the conditions whereby this situation exists. [More]

ATF Actions Show Selective and Inconsistent Rules and Enforcement
So Much for a Black Woman on the Court
Ingraham: Biden Opposed and Filibustered Janice Rogers Brown’s Nomination, Race and Gender ‘Only Count’ if You Have Left-Wing Beliefs [More]
Well, we can't have this...

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 Gaslighting Swindle Continues
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?
Schumer is such a repulsive fraud. Can you imagine being stupid enough to vote for him?

Off Key
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. [More]
Because the Founders clearly wanted you punished if you had one of these.
Note the way "real reporter" Steve Patterson dismisses John Crump as "a self-described firearms journalist."
Go cover a City Council meeting, Steve.

Off Target
Anjum Coffland's Husband Killed Their Twin Girls and Shot Her. Now She's Fighting to Keep Guns from Abusers [More]
With the way she's going about it, I predict the same level of success if the infringements she demands pass.

We're the Only Ones Surviving Enough
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.

We're the Only Ones for the Children Enough
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.

The Road to Damascus and Hell
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.

We're the Only Ones Former Enough
A former Jefferson County sheriff’s deputy was arrested for allegedly stealing prescription drugs both on and off duty. [More]
Notice how they always emphasize "former" even though the crimes were committed while "current"?

We're the Fauxnly Ones Inescapable Enough
Police say that Gosney showed up at the jail’s sally port and claimed to be an officer picking up an inmate. They let him in, closed the door, and placed him under arrest. [More]
Add this to the list in case you ever need to demonstrate how being cautious of and not immediately responsive to claims of authority is prudent.

Sorry, but anymore I'm with Tommy Lee on that.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Spike' Is
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]
What's that mean in terms of actual numbers? And more to the point, I have an AmmoLand article in the queue for publication soon that warns not to expect too much in terms of changing voting patterns.
