A “third arm” for the Army’s M4s:

This seems like a solution in search of a problem.

If you touch a pistol brace to your shoulder are you in trouble?

Probably not. But it is ATF so I’d probably not video myself doing it. It was interesting to me that at the Nashville NRA Sig booth, all of the brace equipped guns were legally SBRs. I suppose just in case.

This was making the rounds back in February. But it seems to have gotten new life:

Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives used a secret, off-the-books bank account to rent a $21,000 suite at a Nascar race, take a trip to Las Vegas and donate money to the school of one of the agents children, according to records and interviews.

Agents also used the account to finance undercover operations around the country, despite laws prohibiting government officials from using private money to supplement their budgets, according to current and former government officials and others familiar with the account.

The revelations highlight the lax oversight at the A.T.F. that allowed agents and informants to spend millions while avoiding the normal accounting process. The Justice Departments inspector general, who is investigating the secret account, criticized the A.T.F. recently for mismanagement and said the agency did not know how many informants it had or how much they were paid.

They really just flaunt their lack of accountability like no one else.

So, something in the blog is all borked and I cannot edit the website theme. This is a pain in the tail and also it means that I can’t drop manage my ads.

I’m fairly certain the issue is caused by the permissions being set incorrectly (you know, that whole 577 thing). Anyone have any idea how to unfuck it?

Thanks.

The ATF has reportedly reorganized it’s NFA branch. It now has two branched. One branch to support processing of NFA paperwork. This processing is stupid to begin with. All that should be done is, basically, cashing a check and running a NICS check.

The other branch to support SOTs.

So, Judicial Watch is suing them:

The ATF is reportedly reconsidering its February 2015 proposal to revise the 2014 Regulation Guide regarding the reclassification of certain ammunition. In March 2015, more than 200 members of Congress wrote to former ATF director Todd Jones expressing their serious concern that the proposal might violate the Second Amendment by restricting ammunition that had been primarily used for sporting purposes. The letter asserts the ATFs move does not comport with the letter or spirit of the law and will interfere with Second Amendment rights by disrupting the market for ammunition that law abiding Americans use for sporting and other legitimate purposes.

Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after the agency failed to respond to a March 9, 2015, FOIA request seeking information on the ammo ban effort

Oh dear:

A National Rifle Association employee accidentally shot himself while doing firearms training at the organization’s headquarters, according to police.

The 46-year-old man’s pistol accidentally discharged Thursday afternoon as he holstered the gun in Fairfax County, Virginia, police said.

It’s only for innocent people, like you and me.

Chinese tourists like to come to America to shoot guns. The Japanese do too. We have a Japanese owned company that operates in The City (My The City) and they often send executives from Japan here to work for a few years. And one of the first things they all do when they get here is go shooting. And to a strip club.

I’ve been watching the show Designated Survivor. It’s an OK show but one of the few both I and the Mrs. watch together. And this past week’s episode was full of anti-gun nonsense. And a lack of facts about existing law. The first lady was advocating for mandatory background checks, which we already have. The episode was full of other lefty wet dreams such as wind and solar power. It was a good show until it got politically preachy up its own ass.

I wasn’t the only one who watched it.

In, what I thought was a risky move, the NRA endorsed Trump. Now, it appears, some are worried he’s working to pay them back:

President Trump promised the NRA he would never let it downand he and Republican lawmakers have been quietly going about the work of living up to that pledge.

In May 2016, the National Rifle Association gave Donald Trump an early, and critical, vote of confidence by endorsing his presidential bid while other conservative groups were still plotting to overthrow him. The NRA stood by Trump throughout the tumultuous campaign and spent $30 million to help get him elected. In turn, Trump vowed to the gun lobbys members that he would never let them down. Remember that, he said.

The article goes on to mention reciprocity and the hearing protection act.

This is just a train wreck on the part of the ATF agent:

Well, the youtube time comment made it worse.

LuckyGunner’s Chris Baker has done some good work here. There’s a lot of information on the rounds in 2 and 4 inch barrels. Nice work.
