Inside Baseball in the SCOTUS Cases Regarding the Second Amendment and ATF Leadership

First up, Mark Smith assesses the recent delay of the Snopes case.
Second, Mark assesses the potential picks to head the ATF. Personally, I would prefer to see the ATF completely eradicated. Its mere existence of prima facie unconstitutional. The existence of federal gun laws is prima facie unconstitutional. But if all we get out of this is an eradication of the “secret” gun registry and a prohibition on enforcement of laws by the ATF, then it’s very important who runs the FBI.
I would also suggest that it makes sense to send 90% of the employees of the FBI and ATF to the border to enforce border laws. As for those still trying to come across, send the Marine Corps to shoot them. If that sounds harsh, think of this as an invasion. What do you think Russi and China would do in such a case? They care about their borders, and we don’t. To most of the American elite, America is an idea, not a sovereign nation with borders.
This whole problem with the border could be solved in an instant. Stop traffic. All traffic, including trade. Allow no one to cross the border, not even for work. But you see, home builders, yard workers and house cleaners are needed for the elite, so that’s not going to happen. As is stands, they get the middle class to pay for medical care via socialized medicine while they get to pay lower wages than they otherwise would, and we bear the brunt of the deal.
Finally, Mark further assesses the inside baseball maneuvers in the SCOTUS on 2A cases.

My recommendation re: the border is to cut a deal with the Norks and have them send their soldiers with their weapons to the Southern border.
THEY understand very well how to deal with intruders!

FBI is also unconstitutional.

In the second video, RE: that warehouse in WV where the BATFE stores the 4473 and FFL records that they are prohibited by law from compiling into an electronic database (the word “searchable” is redundant; if it’s electronic, it’s searchable, period, full stop):
Send an auditor down there. If there’s a computer anywhere — including cell phones — destroy the whole thing. If there’s a scanner connected to that computer — including cell phones with cameras — destroy the whole thing AND bring the entire BATFE chain of command up on criminal charges. There is ZERO reason for there to be a computer on-site in a storage facility for records that are not allowed to be electronically compiled, and even less reason for a scanner.
Just to be clear, for example, the BATFE considers a metal pipe and a Brillo pad to be an “unregistered silencer” because they COULD be assembled into a silencer; you have all the requisite components, so they treat it as a finished product.
Those same rules should apply: if there’s a computer on-site with records that are prohibited from being electronically compiled, they have all the requisite components for an electronic database/registry and COULD compile one, so they should be treated as if they have the finished product.
(Actually, the fact the records exist means they have all the requisite components, and should be treated as such. But one step at a time.)
