Divergent views emerging on ATF gun trust rulemaking

In a related development, Gun Rights Examiner has learned that the National Firearms Act Trade and Collectors Association recently posted their petition that started this process. Previously, they had only posted an overview of their request. [More]
This evening’s Gun Rights Examiner column notes that collected comments, as opposed to collector comments, can be two very different things.

It's Not the Gun

It's the person. [Watch]

A-yup.

And this is the most right-on bit of common sense I've heard in a long time:
...If I ran a large corporation, I would make personal protection training a part of coming into work...
Compare that to what these gasbags insist on.

I'd add that I'd encourage people be armed, have an on-premises range, host and subsidize after-hours training sessions and  come up with perks for personnel who obtained basic and advanced certifications.

We'd also have one hell of a company picnic.

Damn Lax American Gun Laws....

...it adds to the toll of lives taken with weapons trafficked by suspects U.S. officials watched but did not stop. [More]
Ah yes, more fallout from Project Bombwalker...

Say, maybe if we required border gun stores to report multiple sales of grenades and IEDs...

DOD ‘authorized leakers’ directive bodes ill for whistleblowers

Pointing out parallels and equivalence between “authorized leakers” and “Authorized Journalists” hardly seems unfounded. Extrapolating the same principle, it’s easy to envision Dianne Feinstein demanding special protections for “real leakers,” and Joe Biden envisioning how “legitimate news leakers" can help the administration advance its goals.

Minority Report

From the files of the Department of Pre-Crime... [Watch]

Hey, if you never intend to do anything "wrong" by breaking any laws, including those that haven't even been written yet, you've got nothing to worry about.

Does Not Fit the Narrative

I don't get it. I mean, Violence Policy Center calls 'em "Concealed Carry Killers," and has done Google searches and everything to come up with a handful of anecdotes over the years... [More]

Freezing Your Assets off

The U.S. Supreme Court appeared closely divided on Wednesday on whether criminal defendants can challenge a court's decision to freeze their assets before trial. [More]
What kind of idiot thinks we're supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty?

Besides, no one cares about this, as the ongoing ordeal of the Reese family demonstrates. I prove that every time I publish an update about them and watch readership plummet after begging readers to share what no one else will report on, and maybe kick a couple bucks their way.  But I keep doing it anyway, because I'm stupid or something.

Was it good for you? [More]

Hey what do you expect? It's Yale.

Representative Aaron Schock of Illinois said the lesson of the episode was that Boehner should cut out the far-right flank and work with centrist Democrats. [More]

A Message for Nigel

Some Brit from the UN presumes to condemn "Stand Your Ground" as a human rights violation, but is frustrated by those bloody rebellious tea-partying colonists. [More]

I say, Nigel, old bean, do try to enforce your demands, there's a good chap.  And Happy Up Yours at Yorktown Day!
