That is a small temporary victory, but the battle is far from over.At the moment it seems to have been. That isn’t a done deal yet.That is a small temporary victory, but the battle is far from over.

It was how it was done. By using executive orders to instruct the ATF to change their ruling and declare something that clearly did not meet the definition of a machine gun as a machine gun It’s set president to do that with nearly anything. It wasn’t action taken by rule of law, it was imperial fiat. If you do not see how that relates to the executive actions taken today by President Biden, it’s because you’re choosing not to.

In addition, some of us decried the banning of bump stocks when it happened and warned that it was setting a very bad precedent but we were told to sit down. They shouldn’t have ever been approved in the first place. They were a toy. They had no real legitimate use. When we said it wasn’t about the bump stocks, but the way it was done. No attention was paid. Well, here we are. Thanks, Donald!

Who is David Chipman you might ask? Who is this man that Biden is going to nominate to lead the ATF? He wants to ban the sale and manufacture of “assault weapons” forcing all current owners to register theirs under the NFA. He wants to eliminate all private sales. Currently he works for Gabby Giffords’ gun control group. He was a 25 year vet of the ATF. What did he do there? A lot of this, a little of that. Served on the ATF’s SWAT team, worked on the Waco Branch Davidian trial. But you know, he’s a good guy. He occasionally conceal carries himself.

You’re a ####ed up individual. We really need to make you a citizen. Like, now.

Some of these orders affect me directly. Some people like to make comments about boating accidents. I don’t have a boat, and I ain’t lost ####.

Here they are. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/04/07/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-announces-initial-actions-to-address-the-gun-violence-public-health-epidemic/?fbclid=IwAR08_J9ld_8PDcqUUpftcX5nDzNe5gI4FSsKngqZHHRu370gtwhjDqnzKhk

I’ve done worse, for less.

I hate to disappoint you, ma’am, but you’re suckin’ on my arm!

Eternal, shiny and chrome. Witness me!!!

The SADF used modified Honda 500XRs at the time. That’s according to the Rhodie crew.

This makes my pants uncomfortable.

Ok, to revisit the topic as I said I would: I am wholly retracting my questions on his character and intentions. I was wrong in that. Pincus is mostly guilty of poorly defined messaging, but the 2A community wasn’t the real audience for this piece. Folks outside of it were. When Pincus and Gross (who is a former president of Brady, but left because he changed his mind on the efficacy of gun control and the honesty of those in the movement) speak of “expanded background checks” they are speaking of requiring a BGC for selling a gun to a stranger. Then they bake into it the removal of the state line prohibition and so many exceptions to what constitutes a “stranger” as to render the term almost meaningless. I think the error here was attempting to be clever for their own good and giving the other side a useful quote. “Even gun people support expanded (read as universal) background checks.” I’m in the “not one more inch” camp. We’ve given up too much as it is. I’ll give Pincus credit for trying a different tactic, I just don’t know that it was a good one.

I was only half serious. Whenever something interesting exists, I always ask “can I fit a semi in the lot?” If I really want to go I’ll just park at the TA and Uber over to it.

How big is the lot? Think I can get a semi in there?

I had the Sentinel attached to my Hellcat. The glass cracked from a slight impact that it took while still in the holster. They're fine for a range only, but not something to trust your life on.

You dodged a bullet with the Swampfox. It’s not solid enough for edc/duty use.

After watching the live video from Instagram, and reading an article referenced which I will provide links for, I believe that I, and others read his intentions incorrectly. I can’t break it all down at this moment, I can’t break it all down at this moment, but I will post a little later where I got it wrong, and why I did so. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/rob-pincus-answers-pointed-questions-about-his-support-for-expanded-background-checks/ if you have the hour to devote to it, I strongly recommend watching the discussion on Instagram that I linked before.

I’m currently watching a Instagram live he did with Maj Toure. I firmly believe in letting folks tell their side. Here’s the link. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CNKxIZhAASy/?igshid=1xmgj5gq51u6w

In case any of y’all have missed the brouhaha surrounding Rob Pincus this past week, he partnered with Dan Gross (former head of the Brady Campaign) and penned an op-ed in Ammoland News calling for expanded background checks and compromise with the anti-2A crowd. https://www.ammoland.com/2021/03/guns-in-america-ending-the-culture-war-starting-a-productive-conversation/ Here is a good rebuttal, also published by Ammoland. https://www.ammoland.com/2021/03/say-no-more-gun-owners-compromised-enough/ —————————- My personal thoughts. I’m not a fan of “cancel culture” but Rob Pincus is a large and well known name in the gun community. He has been vocal in some very important fights in the past, including the recent work to attempt to reform the NRA. He is also grossly in error here. He has a history that deserves the benefit of the doubt with regards to his thinking and motives. so if he were to step back, reflect, reverse course and apologize for this, he could and should be forgiven. I don’t think that is likely for one simple reason. Due to the language being used in the article being almost verbatim from Bloomberg talking points, I strongly suspect that he’s been co-opted and is on the payroll. I have no proof or evidence of that assertion, simply a gut feeling. Regardless, I must walk away and pay no heed to him and strongly be suspicious of those whom continue to work with him on a professional basis. Retracted due to better understanding of what Pincus was attempting to accomplish with this article.
