The supreme court reversed the vacatur order by Reed O’Connor.  Some lawyer is doing some clever thinking.  This time they went for an injunction against enforcement of the unconstitutional and immoral ATF frame and receiver rule.  They got it.  This will eventually be heard by the supreme court.  I stand by my original prediction.  The women on the court, including Roberts, will side with the FedGov.

The downside is what the SCOTUS did, i.e., stay the vacatur until heard by the supreme court.  So regardless of what is found in the Fifth Circuit, it’s got to go back to the Supreme Court again.  So this is a right delayed one more time.

Reddit/Firearms.

Just noticed my Drivers license-my first and last name off by a letter (I have a rather unique name). I Filled out and spelled my name on 4473 correctly and my previous license didn’t have the spelling issue (same state different address). See more in post.

Passed the NICS check but I’m Wanting to correct my name to reflect it correctly. Anyone have experience with this? Should I call the gun shop and or ATF as well and let them know? I have a clean record and nothing prohibiting me from owning a firearm. I have purchased firearms in the past too with correct spelling on my previous drivers licenses. Funny thing is, I got the “star” or enchanted license too and had to give additional documents and the dmv spelled it wrong still (bith cert., social security card etc). Going to get my name spelled correctly at dmv tomorrow.

The ATF will find a way to blame a DMV error on the FFL and pull his license.  They’re communists.  It’s what they do.

Apparently, the target of the raid is a pastor who had an FFL. The BATFE coerced him into surrendering his license. All licenses are just borrowed liberties that the issuer has no right to sell, but that’s another story. Oklahoma state Rep. Justin Humphrey (R-Lane) is about to learn what many Americans fear but won’t come to grips with. The oligarchy runs the permanent bureaucracy; state and federal legislatures have no real power anymore.

Since he surrendered his license, the ATF now has access to his 4473s. Expect more raids both of buyers and sellers.

According to a press release, Humphrey said he was contacted by Fincher after a dozen ATF SWAT team members bearing “automatic weapons” raided Fincher’s home, handcuffed him on his porch in front of his 13-year-old son and coerced him into relinquishing his Federal Firearm License.

“If this report is true, and I have every reason to believe it is, then it would appear the ATF’s actions constitute a gross misuse and abuse of their federal police powers,” Humphrey said in the press release.

Fincher’s ordeal was chronicled in a story published in July. The 52-year-old is a high school teacher, a Baptist pastor and a parttime gun dealer.

“Mr. Fincher is a distinguished figure in our community, serving both as pastor and schoolteacher in the small community of Clayton, Oklahoma. He is known as a respected member of the community, and I have every reason to believe his account. If proven true, the actions of the ATF agents could be seen as a severe misuse and abuse of their federal law enforcement authority,” Humphrey wrote in the letter to the AG, Governor and Sheriff. “Mr. Fincher claimed that the intent of the raid was evidently to coerce him into terminating his license. He said agents pressured him to declare that he was willingly signing the three prepared termination papers. He explained that he felt coerced due to the armed agents and the threatening environment. He likened the agents’ actions to extortion rather than a proper law enforcement search. One agent reportedly warned, ‘Tell your firearms buddies we are coming after them.’ If true, this statement appears to be an unlawful threat by the agent.”

Humphrey, who chairs Oklahoma’s Criminal Justice and Corrections Committee, believes the ATF violated Fincher’s Second and Fourth Amendment rights.

This is classic tyranny; find the most upstanding man you can and humiliate him to intimidate the populous. BATFE agents swear an oath to uphold the Constitution. Figure that out.

This is an informative video.  For example, I was unaware of the need for placing additional information on the frame, and the follow-on need for retooling in the factories.

These folks never stop do they?  They’re pulling out all the stops.  Fortunately, GOA is ready to take the first shot at them.

I’m guessing our buddy Stephen Stamboulieh will be busy for a while on this.

That’s the good part.  The unfortunate part is that they remanded the case back to district court to determine the scope of relief (to whom this decision applies).

I do like Don Willett’s concurrence.  I’ve followed him for quite a while.  I wish he had been chosen for supreme court rather than Barrett.  Or Kavanaugh.

He finds some problems and dishonesty.
