My bet is that the DOJ lawyers and ATF hooligans are so dishonest that even if they had known this (and perhaps they did) they would not have corrected the record unless called out on it.
Sadly, a lot of gun owners will believe her, especially 60+ year old Fudd upland bird hunters who only believe you have the right to own an over-under. Don’t get me wrong. I love a good over-under. That just has nothing at all to do with the RKBA.

30 years ago, President Clinton signed the federal Assault Weapons Ban into law. During the 10 years it was in effect, people across our nation were far less likely to die in a mass shooting.

Some “gunfluencers,” those with a flaccid grasp of history, come out gushing to their followers every time increased gun sales numbers are announced, mistaking gun ownership and gun skills with fellowship and solidarity. That’s not only shallow and naïve, but it’s also ridiculous. “Diversity” is no guarantee for enhancing Second Amendment recognition.
I always have to smirk at the stupidity of the “gunfluencers” cheering when the enemy buys guns. I’m not a “gunfluencer.”
I don’t care that someone has guns. I care that they support the right to keep and bear arms.
A Labor Day weekend glass bottle attack of two Pennsylvania students wearing yarmulkes has prompted Rep. Randy Fine, R-Brevard, to renew his pledge to file legislation to repeal Florida’s “gun-free zone” for state college and university campuses.
Fine’s pledge comes in the wake of gun activists filing a federal lawsuit in South Florida to have Florida’s open-carry ban declared unconstitutional, and after Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican Legislature earlier this year eliminated a requirement for a concealed weapon permit to carry firearms in public.
Gunowners of America, which filed the lawsuit, said this year’s changes in Florida gun regulations did not go far enough and criticized DeSantis for not pushing for further expansion of Second Amendment rights.
Fine has stepped into the middle of the standoff between Second Amendment activists and Republican lawmakers.
GOA Florida Director Louis Valdes said open carry and campus carry top the group’s agenda for the 2025 legislative session.
But somehow with the awful controllers there in Florida, I don’t think we’ve seen the end of this. I know what they’re thinking. They worry about their tourism income, but so did South Carolina (in the beach area) and yet they have seen no change whatsoever and no vapid, panicked phone calls to the police about a man carrying a gun.
We’ll see where this all goes. I will follow Florida open carry just like I always have. It’s one of the few states left with laws against open carry, and both the state legislature and Ron Desantis should be ashamed of themselves.
In June, instead of producing what was asked for, the FBI returned copies of two nonresponsive Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) sections anyone can pull off the internet. Neither even remotely address the scope of the request.
“It’s clear that the FBI has no intention of responding, which makes fair another question,” I observed. “Why?”
The final straw came this Tuesday, when my attorney Stephen Stamboulieh, received a response from DOJ’s Administrative Appeals Staff Chief Christina Troiani in which she told him, “After carefully considering your appeal, I am affirming the FBI’s action on your client’s request… I have determined that the FBI’s response was correct and that it conducted an adequate, reasonable search for responsive records subject to the FOIA.”
To paraphrase, we’re not going to tell you. Deal with it.
The Congress could get involved, but honestly, there is a way to conclusively and decisively deal with this. Defund the FBI. Remove all funds for operation and salaries forthwith.
That would stop the infringements, but since they fear the FBI, just like they fear the CIA, they won’t do it.
So the problem will continue.
This is not what the founders intended, and not what the covenant and contract with America called the BoR says.
Remember folks. Every lawyer working for the DOJ is a practicing attorney and officer of the court and has sworn an oath to uphold the constitution. The head demon at the DOJ is chief of oath breakers.
You know the difference between a sperm cell and a lawyer? The sperm cell is a one in a billion chance of becoming human.
Honestly though, I probably shouldn’t tell lawyer jokes since I’m not even a lawyer. Hey, I don’t even know what puppy meat tastes like.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Federal appellate judges overturned a Missouri law Monday that banned police from enforcing some federal gun laws.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found the Missouri law violated a section of the U.S. Constitution known as the supremacy clause, which asserts that federal law takes precedence over state laws.
“A State cannot invalidate federal law to itself,” 8th Circuit Chief Judge Steven Colloton wrote in the ruling.
Missouri’s Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey said in a statement that his office was reviewing the decision. “I will always fight for Missourians’ Second Amendment rights,” he said.
We’ve discussed this before and we knew this would happen. For preemption laws, the state must be ready to use force, or the threat of force.
More than that, the simplest solution to this is to ensure that all local, county and state LEOs who would have a predilection to enforce federal gun control laws are fired or drummed out of office.
Of course, if granted, these petitions will be combined.
Personally, I hope that FPC gets through the wall of refusal the supreme court has set up against hearing AWBs. I will never forgive Alan Gottlieb for his embracing of so-called “smart guns.”
