Sporting use? Oh right, the sporting amendment.

Next, take a look at Mike Mike Vanderboegh's upsate at SSI.

Note this comment:

If so, that will be more reaction than that shown by the so-called "mainstream gun rights press" in evidence in the NRA pressroom. Since David Codrea's story broke two days ago, they have been, as near as this reporter could tell, studiously, deliberately incurious about the implications of these revelations. Copies of David's story have been distributed to them since it broke and most seem to have ignored it and few asked me any questions about it.

“is working at “tweaking” its definition of the arbitrary “sporting use” term,”

This is a lie and total disinformation. The 2nd amendment
has nothing to do with “sporting use”. The purpose of
the second amendment is to protect us from foreign invasion
and our own government should it become unconstitutional.
So in essence this “tweaking” is just an out right lie to
subvert the 2nd amendment.

“ATF classification compromise to redefine sporting use, ban certain ammo imports”

“with certain members of Congress and lobbying interests,”

“the opinion that the “tradeoff” is a backroom effort”

” “tweaking” its definition of the arbitrary “sporting use” term”

Compromise
Sporting use
Ban
Congress
Trade off
Backroom

BATF - Ban the ATF

Contact JPFO and GOA to make sure they are aware of this. (Yes, I have so.)

The ATF: Searching for “solutions” to non-existent problems. I just hope that President Cruz removes at least “the F” from their name, and requires that the agency reduce its staff accordingly. I for one would like to see these people in the UE line.

I carefully complied with the rule that my home defense shotgun barrel had to be at least 18” long.
If the federal bureau-mugwumps want to pass an ex post facto law—being no more a legislative body than Obama—they are welcome to come to IN to try and take it from me.
The Obama nightmare continues ..... Live FRee or die, FRiends.

Just a thought here...

As usual it seems to me that the use of regulation and occasionally law is usually in response to a change in thought or more often now-a-days technology.

What that means to me is that they attempts to ‘ban’, restrict or otherwise change the usage or acquisition of various new types of firearms are in the end going to be fruitless and mostly exacerbating the ‘negative’ feelings of the public.

What would the ATF do if someone developed a rail-gun rifle or pistol? What about a AR variant that used .410 ammunition? Things like that and that doesn’t even take into account more advanced forms of the 3D Printer that could manufacture ammunition of your specific design in Job Lots.

In the end I guess my primary points are that the Government and its myriad agencies are reactive for the most part. And their reaction(s) tend to push the hot-buttons of various people and groups in our society. That my FRiends is not a good thing at all. It tends to make it almost certain that someone, anyone, is going to do ‘something’ that will in turn cause our entire system to crack and breakdown.

Which I believe in all candor is exactly what our enemies, both foreign and domestic desire. How much easier to conquer a nation such as ours as when it is utterly divided internally?

The F in ATF is a blatantly illegal agency under our American constitution and should be abolished immediately. The A and T can also go into the trash can for all the good they do.

I suspect the only thing that will satisfy the BATF and the Fudds will be when the only firearms allowed for "sporting use" will be fancy engraved double barreled sporting clay shotguns shooting #7 1/2 shot (no lead, of course).

Can't some people see the camels crawling under the tent flaps?

Well then, I guess I’ll be going to prison, because I have no intentions of ever changing or getting rid of ANY my guns. Go ahead ATF, make me a felon.
