Spencer, Chief, Firearms Technology Branch, offers one of the more creatively restrictive assessments since  ATF declared a shoestring to be a machinegun . The rationale Spencer uses: A silencer is a firearm per U.S. Code, subject to National Firearms Act registration and transfer tax requirements. “[S]ound/gas absorbing materials manufactured from Chore Boy copper cleaning pads, alon...

NY DA Vance Cites ISIS as Reason to Disarm Countrymen while Unvetted Foreign Nationals Given ‘Sanctuary’

 Posted on Oath Keepers  June 26, 2017 by  David Codrea : Reproduced from Internet Artchive. Embedded links may not work. Vance memorializes the Pulse nightclub “gun-free zone” murders by an Islamist terrorist by endorsing more citizen disarmament as the way to thwart ISIS. Promoting anti-RKBA sentiment in Spanish is telling in terms of understanding the enthusiasm for “sanctuary cities.” “New York County District Attorney Cy Vance in an interview aired Sunday blasted a GOP plan that would allow qualified owners to carry concealed handguns in other states that allow individuals to carry concealed firearms,”  The Hill reported Sunday . “The district attorney warned lawmakers that they were ‘playing into the hand’ of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and other terrorists, pointing to ISIS publications describing the ease of buying guns in some American states.” “This bill is supported, I’m sure, by ISIS,” Vance asserted, just to make sure the headlines would b...

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares hasn’t seen any unconstitutional gun-control laws in Virginia that he isn’t willing to defend! When Miyares was a candidate running for Attorney General, he talked a good game on the importance of gun rights and stopping unconstitutional gun-control.  We have the video to prove it. He talked-the-talk, but he hasn’t walked-the-walk on Virginia gun-control laws since he was elected.  Here are four unconstitutional Virginia gun-control laws that VCDL and GOA have filed lawsuits...

DOJ is undermining President Trump

Image
 Received via email: David - President Trump has made it crystal clear: he’s committed to restoring and defending your Second Amendment rights. But the Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, is actively  IGNORING  the president, betraying gun owners, and trampling your rights.   While Bondi’s DOJ has taken some positive steps for Second Amendment rights, the department is now acting on its own—defying President Trump’s directives and letting gun owners down in the process. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE’S TERRIBLE SECOND AMENDMENT STANCES  ❌ A rogue ATF employee declared pinned-and-welded barrels “not permanent” after destroying a sample with a vise. ATF has refused to reverse this Biden-era reinterpretation, threatening millions of legally configured rifles.   ❌ The DOJ wants to combine ATF and DEA into a superagency that would be weaponized against gun owners by the next anti-gun administration.   ❌ ATF wrongly targeted a GOA member’s 8...
