So reports Josh Gerstein: The National Rifle Association is vowing to sue the Obama administration after it announced Monday that it will begin to require gun dealers in four border states to send reports to the government following multiple sales of some semi-automatic longarms. “They don’t have the statutory authority to do it and we’ll […]

Deputy Attorney General James Cole has ordered the reporting of multiple rifle sales to ATF for southern states (racist!). Even though the move is probably illegal.

Music Box Automata Pistol Aug sales to continue in US Slingshot of mass destruction.

In an update to this and this, Rachel from NRA emails: As often happens with complex issues, NRA’s position on Sen. Rand Paul’s defeated PATRIOT Act amendment is being mis-reported by those who either don’t understand the facts, or prefer their own version of “facts.” This amendment was rejected by 85 Senators, which included many […]

Let’s try this one again, now that I have slept ATF comment period of multiple sales is open. You can go here and learn what you can do, such as commenting.

Some idiot named Eric Heyl says that NRA’s efforts at getting women involved in shooting are misguided because women should be in the kitchen making me a sammich. No, really. He also says the industry isn’t going to be successful in drawing them and actually uses the phrase tap that. Some of the girly gun […]

How it starts. Her first time. NSSF reports a 73% increase in gun sales to women. Also, that article features someone we know.

A bill to require background checks on all sales, and it appears to maybe fund some NICS reporting.

Hit them in the funding: The U.S. House has voted for an amendment to H.R. 1 offered by Reps. Denny Rehberg and Dan Boren that prohibits the use of federal funds for a new and unauthorized multiple sales reporting scheme proposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE). The measure passed the […]

Zing: Either way, the BATFE’s desire to mandate reporting of multiple long gun sales by border area firearms dealers is questionable since BATFE seems incapable of managing the criminal leads it already has and unwilling to submit to constitutionally mandated Congressional oversight.

So says Newsweek: Obama intentionally did not mention gun control in his State of the Union, but aides say that in the next two weeks the administration will unveil a campaign to get Congress to toughen existing laws. My guess is a push on requiring states and .gov agencies to report more. More people on […]

My shocked face. On facebook, I predicted this.

ATF already has the form, despite the questionable legality.

Aww, nothing like their first AR. That is one expensive Walther. Sig P210 Legend

NRA ILA: DOJ Inspector General Proposes Multiple Sales Reports On Long Guns

John Richardson has a look at NRA’s lawsuits challenging the ban on sales.

I know it’s an election year and all. Ok, guys, if you want to suck up to us, get our votes and then ignore us after elections like you usually do, you’re gonna have to do a better job of understanding the issue. You can’t just say guns and Democrats in the same sentence and […]

Uptick in sales to women at NC gun store.

Gun sales to women up. In Illinois

Feds arrest folks smuggling guns into Mexico. Not mentioned in the article: gun shows. Update: I didn’t watch the video but Mikee says in comments: At the very end of the video report, the reporter states that “gun show employees tipped off (federal) agents to some suspicious sales.” This is not reported in the print […]

A report: Attendees and sellers at a weekend gun show got a visit from the tax man that some said was unusual, unexpected and unwanted. And the show’s co-organizer, Don Hill, said the visit from half a dozen representatives of the Texas State Comptroller’s Office may have scared off many potential customers and sellers from […]

The Wall Street Journal notes that gun sales are up. Everyone knows that. What is odd is that a paper that caters to the financial crowd says: No one knows exactly what is behind the gun-buying craze. Only those not paying attention. Curt notes: This is perfectly acceptable behavior for investors…but for those who invest […]

The bill to remove the restriction on carrying weapons where alcohol is sold for on-sight consumption is getting silly. The bill has devolved into a ton of silly, near unenforceable, and poorly defined regulations that could make it useless. Such as: You can’t carry in such an establishment after 11 p.m. Because, I suppose, that’s […]

Kansas House and Senate have passed a right to keep and bear arms constitutional amendment. Bill to ban private sales defeated in Illinois. Storage bill defeated in Illinois. Good. If the anti-gunners can’t get traction in Illinois (even after a couple of highly publicized shootings), I doubt they’ll be effective elsewhere.

Some facts about gun shows. Rather surprising since it doesn’t fit the usual narrative.

Not only Employee of the Month, but Salesman of the Year.

Second amendment expert says not to worry: With Obama’s record on gun control — which includes endorsing an Illinois handgun ban, co-sponsoring a bill to limit purchases to one gun per month and supporting a ban on semi-automatic weapons — gun owners in big cities and small towns throughout the country are concerned that their […]

In an article in a San Antonio paper, Todd Bensman seems distraught that ammo can be readily purchased just like any other lawful commodity: So popular is the 7.62 mm ammunition for AK-47 assault rifles that one store in this border city stacks shoebox-size cases several feet high down half a row in the hunting […]

Michael Bane thinks that the money in the gun industry that has shifted from the hunting side to the black rifle & handgun side isn’t going to come back even after this buying frenzy. Shooters are likely here to stay. Guns continue to increase in popularity after a few decades of decrease. But hunting does […]

Is it the supply or the demand part they’re struggling with? In other news, they say Obama has always been frustratingly pro-Second Amendment. Huh?
