🚨 ATF LAWSUIT ALERT 🚨
FPC has filed a lawsuit, VanDerStok v Garland, challenging the ATF's 'Final Rule' which redefines a 'frame or receiver' as a 'firearm'!

Fuck you.
You filthy monsters burned 80+ women and children to death, then proceeded to pose for photo ops over their smoldering corpses.

The Bryan Malinowski AFT execution thread.
Bryan Maliownski was being investigated for "dealing in firearms without a license" which is a private sale and "unlawful acquisition of a firearm" which he acquired firearms also in a private sale. To simply put this in short terms,…
BREAKING: California Attorney General says "effective immediately, issuing authorities should no longer require proof of good cause for the issuance of a public-carry license."
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster has signed the Permitless Carry Bill, H. 3594.
Congratulations, South Carolina.
We now have 29 Permitless Carry States!
Here’s the moment that Senate Republicans blocked the assault weapons ban when I put it on the Senate floor.
The American people are sick and tired of enduring one mass shooting after another.
Senate Democrats will not stop working to pass this bill.
Today, we remember and honor the lives and service of ATF Special Agents Conway LeBleu, Todd McKeehan, Robert Williams, and Steven Willis, who were killed 31 years ago while attempting to execute warrants at the Branch Davidian compound.

The problem is the guns. At least 26 states have permitless concealed carry laws, increasing the presence of firearms in public.
New Hampshire is on that list.

@Delia4Congress
Repeat after me: The 2nd Amendment protects the right to own a weapon of war. That’s kinda the fucking point.
(You’re right that 2A doesn’t “give” anyone a right. It’s a negative right, protecting the natural right to armed self-defense from government interference.)
"People who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment... This tragedy occurred even in the presence of uniformed officers."
We cannot accept the status quo.
We need to pass a Constitutional Amendment to prevent gun violence nationwide.
Junk fees take real money out of the pockets of Americans. They add up to hundreds of dollars, weighing down family budgets and making it harder to pay the bills.

This week, I will put the Assault Weapons Ban on the Senate floor.
After I led the passage of the Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Ban 30 years ago, America saw a decrease in mass shootings and gun deaths.
We must stand with the American people and against the gun lobby.
Fuck your guns. Fuck your assault weapons. Fuck your “gun rights”. Fuck your stupid partisan politics. Fuck the NRA. Fuck you if you care more about being able to easily buy a gun than keeping kids safe.
@POTUS
You aren’t going to ban either. Period. Deal with that reality.
This isn’t a debate. They are not yours to take or restrict. And we will not allow it.
Oh, and: Fuck you. No.
1) State Agents have zero obligation to protect you.
2) Your safety is your responsibility, nobody else’s.
3) Your opinion isn’t only wrong, it’s completely worthless.
4) Most importantly: Stack up or fuck off.
Now seems like a good time to remind everybody:
"Red Flag Laws... invite domestic terrorists to weaponize
the court system to strip the rights of their enemies or political opponents." -FPC's Policy Brief on Red Flag Laws.
If you're against the ban on ghost guns, you in essence believe there should be no background checks on gun purchases whatsoever. You believe you should be able to pick up a gun at Ace Hardware next to the hammers.
It would be nice for RMGO to just admit this.

I absolutely love the gun argument of "we need to protect ourselves from the government" like your little hand gun collection stands a chance against the USA military's nukes and bombs and drones. Be for real. You have a hobby, you aren't a vigilante.
The women of ATF NY are a true force to be reckoned with. Their dedication to this profession day in & day out is truly admirable, particularly given that it was not a common career path for women years ago. We honor the contributions of the trailblazers who have paved the way.

As a vet and fmr. law enforcement, I 100% OPPOSE permitless carry. Allowing untrained folks to carry firearms in public is not just reckless, it's a threat to everyone. We demand high standards for our military & police, why should we accept less from our citizens?

The National Firearms Act (NFA) introduced in 1934 requires NFA firearms to be registered & taxed. The $200 tax was quite prohibitive at the time, which was the goal of the NFA. All taxes collected for NFA go to the general fund of the U.S. Treasury Dept.
