The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

They can't define "woman," but they have no problem defining and redefining and torturing and twisting the plain language of the 2nd Amendment into tens of thousands of pages of impenetrable text designed to do one thing...harass law-abiding Americans and, when they hit the jackpot, throw some of them in jail.

The ATF is the very definition of the Deep State, with its career apparatchiks trying desperately to please the rabid gun haters who seem always to have the upper hand in the administration. Their labyrinthine regulatory structures are frankly impossible to satisfy, and the hundreds of prosecutions for ridiculous violations, and the many FFL licenses summarily revoked are testaments to the real goal...the destruction of our God-given, natural right to self defense against evil.

And the reason? Because they know that they are the evil, and in a just world the people of the United States would be coming after them, hammer and tongs, for the vile and underhanded violations of our rights.

Supreme Court Hears Oral Arguments in Case Centered on ATF's Redefinition of a 'Firearm'

The Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral arguments Tuesday in VanDerStock v. Garland, a case focused on the ATF’s unilateral action to redefine what constitutes a “firearm.”

The case revolves around ATF Final Rule 2021-05F, which placed new controls on gun parts kits and firearms which Democrats describe as “ghost guns.”

A central part of this rule was redefining what the word “firearm” meant so as to designate “partially completed pistol frames” and other gun parts as “firearms.”

My experience with gun owners is that they are law-abiding folk. But it is arrant nonsense such as this that drives people to decide that next time they'll just buy from friends or build their own. And the ingenuity of the American gun enthusiast knows no bounds. They will stay ahead of the ATF...legally or murkily.

Of course if the ATF really cared about so-called "gun violence," they would go after guns possessed by convicted felons. You know...in the inner cities...where the Democrat voting strongholds carefully protect those felons. But they do not care about bad guys using guns to commit crimes. They care about expanding their vast database of legal gun owners, and they care about the ultimate goal of their masters...confiscation of all guns in America.

Well...except for those felons' guns...those are okay.
