Anti-Gun Nannies, Politics, Rights, The Gun Thing

Here’s something I can only describe as a wake-up call:

Rep. Andrew Clyde (R) is leading a coalition of GOP House members urging President Donald Trump to pick an Attorney-General who will “immediately” wipe away Biden-era ATF gun controls.  Clyde and 32 other House members signed an April 21, 2026, letter, asking Trump to choose and A-G who will “immediately cease enforcement of Biden-era gun rules and secure permanent – not temporary – relief.”

Yes, yes, and again yes.

I’m getting heartily sick of a Department of [alleged] Justice which pays lip service to the Constitution — and especially to the Second Amendment — but either fails to redress wrongs through inaction or by continuing to slavishly enforce older regulations which tramp all over the Founding Document.

Clyde and his colleagues also ask Trump to choose an A-G who will reform and clean house at the ATF. They view this task as including:

    • Purging the ATF of gun-grabbing bureaucrats;
    • Opposing any effort to create, operate, or maintain a federal firearms registry in any form;
    • Stopping the ATF’s release of sensitive firearm trace data in violation of the Tiahrt Amendment*;
    • Shutting down and deleting the ATF’s illegal, searchable gun registry known as the Out-of-Business Records Imaging System (OBRIS); and
    • Reducing NFA application processing times.

That “purging the ATF of gun-grabbing bureaucrats” should only be a precursor to moving the A and T part back to the Treasury (where it belongs), and a complete deletion of the F, because fuck them.

Clyde and his colleagues pointed to the support Trump received from gun owners during the November 2024 elections, suggesting he should now support them as they supported him: “Mr. President, American gun owners have been some of your most loyal and enthusiastic voters. They delivered for you at the ballot box, and they deserve to see their constitutional rights respected in return.

“The roadmap above requires no new legislation – it only requires leadership, will-power, and a Department of Justice that is genuinely committed to your agenda rather than protecting its own institutional inaction.”

Clearly, ex-AG Blondie wasn’t up to the job.  If I were Trump, I’d make Alan Gottlieb (of the Second Amendment Foundation) the AG, let him clean the place out for (say) two years, and then let him get back to doing his proper job at SAF.

Frankly, I don’t actually care what Trump does.  What I want is for the DOfuckingJ to stop harassing gun owners and go after the real criminals.  And to do it quickly.  If DJT can achieve that with his choice of Blondie’s replacement, so much the better.

*The Tiahrt Amendment is a provision of the U.S. Department of Justice 2003 appropriations bill that prohibits the National Tracing Center of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) from releasing information from its firearms trace database to anyone other than a law enforcement agency or prosecutor in connection with a criminal investigation. This precludes gun trace data from being used in academic research of gun use in crime.  Additionally, the law blocks any data legally released from being admissible in civil lawsuits against gun sellers or manufacturers.

  1. Nothing is permanent. Biden and his supporters no doubt thought their stuff was permanent. Anything Trump does to revert it will show that this wasn’t so. And then the next democrat will revert Trump’s decisions again.

    That’s how politics works.

  2. While I certainly agree with the sentiment, it would be far better for those båstards to PASS LEGISLATION that CODIFIES IN LAW what they want done. Take away the BATFEs ability to “make regulations” or to “interpret” the laws they are supposed to be enforcing.

    Hell, just defund the entire enterprise.

    Then go on and codify the rest of the “Trump Agenda” in law so that the next round of Democrats can’t just will it away with the stroke of a pen.

    Cowards.

    1. # DEFUND THE GOVERNMENT

      Are there enough jails if even 30 percent of taxpayers say fuck you to the IRS next April 15th?

      # the 2nd American tea party is needed – this time stop paying taxes

  3. This is scary

    – when the next Democrat or Rino comes into office – more bullshit regulations and orders could be put into place.

    – when the next Democrat or Rino comes into office – the police state could be used against law abiding gun owners

    – trump is unfortunately a Rino on guns “I like take the guns first and due process later”

    – previously on a post here / when Pam BLondie was nominated – I said she should do only fans – when asked who would break the internet. She never had a record of being a good supporter of 2A.

    – even the current admin sucks with gun rights – the cowgirl Kristi noem – another one that belongs not in any office but more would be better for only fans – saying is odd and that people shouldn’t be allowed to carry guns at protests. – kash Patel also said this same fucking horseshit – yes the asshole carrying the gun was a liberal according to reports – but he was still an American with 2A rights

    Trump is better than Kamala but that ain’t saying much lately.

    I really hope whoever trumps replacement for attorney general is can support the constitution. But I don’t have high hopes.

    This is all fucked

    # FUCK TYRANTS
    # Pam BLondie is cute but sucked as AG
    # 2A is clear – SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

  4. Another question – can anyone clarify or answer this?

    During the bush years – the lawful arms in commerce act or something like that name was passed

    Basically you could sue a gun company if a known defect of the firearm existed and caused injury or death

    But

    You could NOT sue a gun company for the actions of criminals.

    1 – now the last few years I’ve heard of these types of lawsuits being filed.

    2 – why was this law never extended to people. If someone steals a gun from someone and uses it wrongly – why is that the victim of the thefts fault for the bullshit a criminal caused?

    Total fucking horseshit going on
