Here is the judgment. It’s a scathing indictment of the ATF.

Of course, this will be fought out in appellate court, including en banc. So it’s far from over because the ATF can’t take a loss like this one.

But the judgment is powerfully reasoned.

I have a different theory. I don’t think a $200 tax stamp means anything at all to folks who can print money.

Here’s what I think. For every suppressor of, say, 5.56mm, the ATF knows if you purchase one, you have an AR-15. Thus can they “legally” add to their gun registry.

Pulaski County Prosecutor Will Jones said in a letter to ATF that no charges in the shooting would be filed after reviewing the Arkansas State Police investigation of the shooting of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport Executive Director Bryan Malinowski.

In his letter, Jones said the agents had properly identified themselves with police running lights and sirens outdoors before they entered and announced their presence at the front door. He wrote the ATF agents had shields and wore shirts that had ATF Police printed on the right side and bulletproof vests with ATF Police printed on the front. Jones wrote that during the raid one of the agents saw another agent fall to the ground, heard a gunshot and saw Malinowski holding a gun.

I’m sure this comes after Will Jones sold his soul to Satan.

The ATF agents hid the door cam with tape, cut power so that no lights were available, and never had to conduct the raid to begin with. If they had wanted to talk about their unconstitutional laws, they could have worn suits, knocked on the door in broad daylight, and spoken with the man.

This was a hit job, pure and simple. Nothing you say could convince me otherwise. The ATF agent who shot Mr. Malinowski is a murderer, and his co-criminals were guilty of aiding and abetting the crime. He will answer to God, but he should also answer in time and space for his crime and sin.

FORT WORTH, TX (June 13, 2024) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition announced a major legal victory in its Mock v. Garland lawsuit challenging the Biden Administration’s “pistol brace” ban rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). In the decision, United States District Court Judge Reed O’Connor granted summary judgment in favor of FPC and its co-plaintiffs and issued a final judgment and order vacating the ATF’s rule. The case and opinion can be found at FPCLegal.org.

It’s nice to see that some things still work in America.

The GOA does God’s work.

In this case, we should expect to see The Empire Strike Back.

There is no one decent or good who works for the ATF. Every one of them have sworn an oath the constitution, and every one of them either breaks it directly or enables someone else to break it. They know what they’re doing, and it’s all intentional.

Americans have been making their own firearms since the founding of the country. The SCOTUS needs to get this one right, or else they relegate themselves to the trash heap of history. The communists already disregard what they don’t like out of the SCOTUS. When they lose the rest of the base, it’s a short hop and a skip to everyone just completely ignoring them. They have no reason to go to work with that kind of reputation. They should just stay home.

But of course. It’s entirely legal, but it deprives the controllers of information they want. You can’t be god with the corollary omniscience if you don’t know everything. They want to be god. Therefore, they must know everything.

Pat speaks wisdom.

If the ATF (or any other LEOs) raid homes at 0600 hours, they deserve everything they get.

Disband the ATF.

And since I haven’t mentioned it in a few days, “you’re never in more danger than when the police are around, and there is no situation so bad or desperate that it cannot be made worse by the presence of the police.”

You’d think that at least her clerks would have prepared her better than this.

And here’s Justice Jackson: “And when, you know, ‘function’ is defined, it’s really not about the operation of the thing. It’s about what it can achieve, what it’s being used for. So I see Congress as putting function in this. The function of this trigger is to cause this kind of damage, 800 rounds a second or whatever.”

Not even the Navy’s Phalanx is capable of that rate of fire (4500 Rounds Per Minute).

Maybe there’s a quad gun that can approach that rate, but still, 4500 RPM × 4 = 18000, and 18000 RPM / 60 seconds per minutes = 300 RPM. So, I don’t know of anything that can accomplish 800 rounds per second.

Can you imagine trying to hold a gun on target at that rate of fire?

But hey, I want one!

Amazing.

Justice Barrett asks about the difference between bump firing and bump stocks

Justice Jackson says guns with bump stocks can fire 800 rounds a second

— Firearms Policy Coalition (@gunpolicy) February 28, 2024

The government says that a rifle without a bump stock can only shoot about 60 rounds per minute

Jerry Miculek is laughing.

Justice Jackson asks why the NFA doesn't ban guns that can fire as fast as machine guns. Cargill says because that's not what the law says

Justice Kagan says that with a bump stock, you can hold the trigger and bullets come out. Cargill says that's incorrect; bump stocks don't alter the trigger at all

Justice Jackson is asking why the chemical reaction after the trigger is pulled isn't the single function that causes the gun to fire automatically. Like all of Jackson's other arguments, Cargill says that is also incorrect

Good Lord! So the FedGov is relying not just on the communists on the court, but the general stupidity as well.
