ATF files opposition motion to TRO in Ares Armor case

Much of the government’s protestations read more like hurt feelings, accusing Ares of “lulling“ them with pledges of cooperation while then having the nerve to seek counsel to protect company and customer interests. The people doing the raid, seizing property and data, and smashing things with sledgehammers are portraying themselves as victims here. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes if some people can't get sympathy, they'll settle for complete surrender, coerced obedience and utter destruction.

EO

It authorizes Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to work with Secretary of State John Kerry to impose sanctions on “any individual or entity that operates in the Russian arms industry, and any designated individual or entity that acts on behalf of, or that provides material or other support to, any senior Russian government official,” the White House said in a statement. [More]
From The White House:
Accordingly, I hereby order:
Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person (including any foreign branch) of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in:
(i) the persons listed in the Annex to this order; and
(ii) persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State:
(A) to be an official of the Government of the Russian Federation;
(B) to operate in the arms or related materiel sector in the Russian Federation;

Suppressor Bill Update

From Iowa Firearms Coalition:
Just a quick update on HF 2381, as of Friday the bill failed to be brought out of sub-committee and to the Senate Judiciary committee for a vote. This  lack of action has killed the bill and it will not be brought up on the Senate floor for a vote as we had hoped.

Hold off on comments and emails until further notice. [More]

Seriously -- most have no idea how much extra effort it takes to deal with those, and that's the one thing Mike doesn't need right now.

You know what he does need, aside from prayers.

You know you know.

UPDATE: Mike called. He's out of surgery, will be discharged soon, and expects to post something later today.

So name him or her. Forget "EPA" and "they."  We need to know precisely "who."  And "where."

It's past time for personal accountability for petty acts of bureaucratic tyranny.

After all, they're the ones who make it personal. They're the ones callously destroying lives with impunity.

Dora the Explorer

Commissioner Dora Schriro denied rumors DESPP is confiscating weapons. [More]
Why not, Dora?  Isn't it "the law"?  And hasn't your boss Malloy declared victory?

So what's stopping you?

Why not drag Joe Peterson out of hiding and let him start kicking in doors?

Still, Dora, the thought strikes: Why should we believe you, when no less than a federal judge is on record saying you can't even be trusted under oath?

The "quality" of people who say WE can't be trusted with guns tells me all I need to know.

UPDATE: Anthony Martin takes on Dora.
