If it’s determined that your gun isn’t an SBR, at least they have all of the information on it, including information on you.
If it’s determined that you are in possession of an SBR illegally, then what happens? Do ATF agents come to your door, shoot your dogs and arrest you? Or do they simply register your firearm, now putting that gun on a list of NFA items that cannot cross state lines without their approval?
At least ten people have been killed and many others injured, after two assailants went on a stabbing spree in multiple locations in a rural area of Saskatchewan province, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed on Sunday. They warned that the suspects were still at large, and armed and dangerous.
“We have located 10 deceased individuals in 13 locations in the community of James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon, Saskatchewan,” RCMP Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore said at a press conference on Sunday afternoon.
The police official added that “several additional victims have been injured, 15 of which at this point have been transported to various hospitals,” noting that there “may be additional injured victims who transported themselves to hospital,” and urging them to come forward.
“We believe some of the victims have been targeted, while others have been attacked randomly,” Blackmore added.
Good thing nobody had a gun, or somebody could have been seriously hurt.
Here is the court decision. Of course, it’s the right call, but that doesn’t mean it will stand the rest of the appeals through the cicuits of black robed tyrants.
Mike does a good job of breaking it down. I was just trying to recall the compliance rate with AR-15 registration when Connecticut tried this stunt. As best as I recall it was < 10%. This is different, i.e., declaring a SBR, but even worse because for those who comply, they can’t even carry the firearm across state lines without ATF approval.
I never got into the pistol brace scene, but there are a lot of them in circulation, many more than I suspect will be registered with the ATF as SBRs.
This article is not about Force Reset Triggers. You should read it for the intelligence value to understand how ATF is running ops against America.
One of these agents spoke to AmmoLand News on a condition of anonymity, giving the gun community an insight into the ATF’s actions.
The Special Agents do not have discretion whether to contact the buyer or not. The order from ATF HQ demanded the field offices act. The ATF Special Agents are instructed to persuade the owner to turn over the triggers. While some agents are honest with gun owners and even give them a couple of days to decide what to do with the triggers, others have lied to the target. Law enforcement officers are not under any obligation, to be honest.
There’s also a degree of speculation in the article. Parse it yourself.
And separately, the legality of ATF’s “Knock and Talk” is being questioned.
US Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has demanded to see legal justification for the growing number of ‘knock and talk’ visits to lawful gun owners by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF).
In a letter written Tuesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland and reported on by Breitbart, Ernst laid out eight questions about the program, which according to Garland is aimed at uncovering ‘straw purchases’ – cases in which a person legally barred from buying a gun uses someone with a clean record to purchase it for them.
Ernst asked Garland what constituted probable cause for these visits and whether agents sought a warrant before turning up on the target’s doorstep, expressing concern about what procedures were in place to protect their Fourth Amendment right against unwarranted search and seizure. She also questioned whether any guidelines existed for what time of day agents could conduct their inquiries and whether they were required to wear uniforms identifying them as ATF.
There are a number of things to digest here. First, this video explains the background.
Second, this video is the perspective of GOA when they submitted the brief to the court.
Third, this is the result.

Another tyrant in a black robe, coupled with tyrants inside the beltway, all of whom should be fired and the agency disbanded.
Fourth, this is another follow-on from the rule, said rulemaking which should never have been done, and which should have gone through the comment period.
This ATF rule makes it so EVERY SINGLE firearm transaction record (Form 4473) will eventually end up in a digital searchable database, rather than be destroyed after 20 years. But somehow, THAT isn't a violation of the prohibition on creating a gun registry!? ♂️ pic.twitter.com/ADNoHXa5R0
Take it all under advisement, dear readers. Hope, work and pray for the best, prepare for the worst. They have made it clear that they don’t care about the law, and they don’t even care anymore that you know that they don’t care. ATF agents should be mighty proud tonight. How can they look themselves in the mirror and answer questions from their children about their work without holding their heads down in shame?
Your firearms are your birthright as an American, and the underlying moral code which justifies it comes from the Almighty.
From Dan Wos at AmmoLand. Includes Video. The Congress of the United States should be ashamed of itself, but communists have no shame. They desire control above all else.
USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- In another attempt to discourage firearm manufacturers from producing guns and as a Segway to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA,) the Democrat-controlled House Oversight committee has issued a subpoena on Smith and Wesson in an attempt to get their sales and production information.
House Oversight Committee chair and anti-gunner Rep. Carolyn Maloney (A democrat from NY) held a hearing on so-called “gun violence.” During that hearing, she challenged Chris Killoy at Ruger and Marty Daniel at Daniel Defense to “accept responsibility” and apologize to victims of mass shootings and their families.”
This is effective propaganda by the right:
At a certain point, you would think the left would realize that their anti-gun fear campaign is being seen as nothing more than a scam even in the eyes of their battle-weary comrades.
Applications are expected to skyrocket, but it doesn’t mean crime will increase.
“The vast majority of gun crimes in New York are committed by people who do not have gun permits at all,” Feldman said.
The reforms go into effect Sept. 1. People who were recently rejected because of the current statute can reapply within the next 60 days, all free of charge.
Bravo to Alecia Reid for playing it straight down the line. Although according to her bio, she’s a communist. Via The Gun Feed.
NEW: For the first time, we witnessed the TX National Guard close & lock a gate on private property at a major crossing area in Eagle Pass, denying entry to migrants who just crossed illegally & expected to be let in. Border Patrol then came w/ a key & let them in for processing. pic.twitter.com/S1fZaTJnEi
This is easy. The governor of Texas could handle this with the stroke of a pen.
Issue arming orders to the Texas National Guard. Tell them to monitor the passing. If the Border Patrol follows orders from above and comes to open the passing, arrest them and put them into indefinite confinement along with arrested or detained migrants.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has so far randomly audited 24 sheriff’s offices in Missouri in search of concealed carry weapon (CCW) details, but they all refused to comply, according to law enforcement authorities.
“None released anything pertaining to CCWs themselves, but some did partially comply by answering procedural questions on issuing CCWs,” said Moniteau County’s Sheriff Tony Wheatley.
Don’t do that. Confiscate their weapons and seize their credentials, arrest them on the spot, and either take them to the state border and release them or throw them into jail. Tell them never to come back.
This will get worse until the states stand up for themselves.
Respondents next direct the Court to the history of the Colonies and early Republic, but they identify only three restrictions on public carry from that time. While the Court doubts that just three colonial regulations could suffice to show a tradition of public-carry regulation, even looking at these laws on their own terms, the Court is not convinced that they regulated public carry akin to the New York law at issue. The statutes essentially prohibited bearing arms in a way that spread “fear” or “terror” among the people, including by carrying of “dangerous and unusual weapons.” See 554 U. S., at 627. Whatever the likelihood that handguns were considered “dangerous and unusual” during the colonial period, they are today “the quintessential self-defense weapon.” Id., at 629. Thus, these colonial laws provide no justification for laws restricting the public carry of weapons that are unquestionably in common use today. Pp. 37–42.
He goes on in citing Bruen to note that it didn’t take tyrants long to begin to press their tyranny.
In the early to mid-19th century, some States began enacting laws that proscribed the concealed carry of pistols and other small weapons.
This is yet another great commentary by Dean. He concludes with this.
Thousands of gun laws across the United States have destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives and done untold economic damage. They were passed with lies and false promises. It is time to repeal most of them.
Yes, laws against barrel length, gun features, ownership stipulations, capacity, rate of fire, and on and on the circus goes. I wouldn’t have stopped with the need for most of them being repealed. I would have said all of them.
The exception would be manufacturer liability for bad products and poor engineering. If a manufacturer fabricates and markets a firearm that harms the user because of poor craftsmanship or failure to follow SAAMI specifications, I believe they should be held accountable, both legally and financially. I think this is in line with what I’ll call Christian libertarianism.
Outside of this single law, I’m at a loss to find another one with which I agree or believe should be kept.
