Watch the entire video. First of all, Stephen is and friend and one of the best second amendment attorneys out there so we should show him some support. Through GOA and his own firm he has shown resilience and class in dealing with the FedGov, and has achieved a good degree of success in his cases.
Second, after this video, you might be interested in the second one. A defining and signal characteristic of communist societies is that they hire incompetents and promote the lazy. Communism isn’t just for the central bureaucracy. It’s for the distributed bureaucracies too.
As long as you’re incompetent but support the status quo, as long as you don’t rock the rulers’ boat, and as long as you make income for the elitists, you’re welcome in the bureaucracy administrating a lack of justice to the peasants. If you work for the government, you might be a peasant too, but you’re their peasant.
Stephen is a prime example. He’s a good and hard working attorney. He could never work for the FedGov and be happy.
So what? It won’t matter one whit. Scary, scary, scary … Pretty Boy Floyd, Al Capone, etc., scary, scary, scary, even more scary than the mass shooting at Waco and assassination at Ruby Ridge by Lon Horiuchi, or anything else the FedGov has perpetrated.
But that’s okay, because FedGov. It’s okay when they do it.
My prediction doesn’t change. The two “conservative” women on the court, Roberts and Barrett, side with the communists on this matter and overturn the Fifth Circuit. Barrett has been a huge, huge, huge disappointment, and you can blame Trump for her, as with so many other hundreds of things. In literally a once in a lifetime opportunity, we could have had Don Willett or James Ho. Instead, we got her. Thanks, Trump. And if Barrett is the sort of judge the Federalist Society is putting up and recommending, then what good are they? Stop listening to them.
She failed to enjoin the Illinois AWB, and for the record (I didn’t know this until a few days ago), she opposed taking the Dobbs case. I guess she would have been fine leaving Roe in place.
It’s an interesting question – whether the AR pistol market can survive a ruling against the people. He makes a good case that it can’t, and includes 300 BO in his assessment. Leave comments below.
Presumably, killing the market is the goal of the ATF, nefarious outfit that they are.
Oh, I don’t think they’re insane. They’re just communists and this is what communists do. And lest you think that there must be some good people left in FedGov law enforcement, no, they’re all for this. They will enforce this without so much as one ounce of remorse, as well as any other law, rule or regulation their superiors tell them to. They have already sold their souls.
I initially read a Reddit/Firearms post on whether it’s important who spends the money on a firearm versus whose name is on the 4473. Here is the thread.
I hope this isn’t a stupid question, I have payed for a gun as a gift for someone else, so can they fill out the 4473 as it is/going to be theirs?
ModestMarksman answers.
Yes you can. Anyone saying no doesn’t know what they are talking about.

The 4473 asks if you are the actual buyer OR transferee. If it’s a gift then they are the actual transferee.
When I read that I said out loud to myself, “That’s the right answer.”
In order more fully to explain this, he makes an updated discussion thread where he explains more. This is that discussion thread.
FFLs don’t need to give one whit where the money comes from. As long as they are transferring the firearm to the transferee on the Form 4473, it’s legal.
Now, just to remind everyone, all gun control laws are unconstitutional. All of them, with no exceptions.
It’s an American tradition for as long as there has been an America – making your own firearms. And back when individuals contracted skilled tradesmen and craftsmen to do it for them, the government had no say in the matter.
But here we are. I told you the ladies on the court, including Barrett and Roberts, would side with the communists, didn’t I?
Missouri should just ignore federal court rulings. Because. The tenth amendment. Never cooperate with federal gun control laws. Every state and local LEO who does so is a traitor.
Shared via Instagram by Aaron Cowan of Sage Dynamics, a UTM memo detailing how the BATFE has ordered UTM to stop selling their non-lethal training ammo (NLTA) to anyone other than law enforcement and the military. RECOIL has confirmed this directly with UTM.
How and why the BATFE feels they have this authority to decide law-abiding civilians can’t have NLTA arbitrarily is a mystery to us at this time.
We know force-on-force training isn’t something most of us do every weekend. The fact is, most of us never do it in our lives. That said, it is extremely useful training that should be available to every legal firearm owner.
This is another example of the BATFE using its made-up power to invent de facto laws and regulations to suppress Americans’ right to bear arms. Training and access to ammunition are central to our Second Amendment rights.
Beyond that, this ban is simply an absurd federal overstep since non-lethal training ammunition is non-lethal. No one is being protected by this ban. No one is being saved. This is purely about the BATFE and the executive branch as a whole furthering their crusade of civilian disarmament.
They don’t have the authority. They just made that up out of whole cloth. Hopefully this will be taken to court and the ATF slapped down.
Basically, the ATF doesn’t want you to engage in force on force training.
But notice what they did. They banned it for civilian use, but didn’t include LE in that category. This is a sinful omission, and probably intentional.
I believe the founders had something to say about occupying armies.
