New gun control bill incoming

The ATF is proposal a new rule change allowing guns to be shipped directly to buyers:

“… Under current rules, people who buy guns online have to pick them up at physical stores and submit to in-person background checks if they don’t already have a permit. The new rule would allow licensed firearms dealers to ship guns directly to in-state residents after online identity verification and a background check. There would also be a seven-day waiting period and local law enforcement would have to be notified of the purchase …”

So basically just eliminating the final step of going back to the store to pick it up. They can just mail it to you.

We can’t have any of that going on it New York:

“… In response to the ATF’s plan, Hochul says she intends to introduce a law requiring the final sale to be done in person, continuing the process of buying a gun online, before picking it up from an FFL …”

Pre-filed bills for the 2027-28 session should start appearing around Thanksgiving.

Junk lawsuit against Glock

A bunch of Democrat state A.G.s have filed a lawsuit against Glock:

“Attorneys general in Minnesota and New Jersey sued Glock on Thursday, accusing the company of making handguns that are easily modified to fire as illegal machine guns through a cheap add-on known as a “Glock switch.” … The gun maker has known for decades that its weapons are uniquely receptive to the switches and has not taken steps to change its design, according to the lawsuits …”

By definition, this has nothing to do with Glock. It is a third party modification. It’s like saying Ford has done nothing to prevent drunk drivers from getting behind the wheel of their cars. If we had a functioning legal system this garbage would be tossed out the first time it goes before a judge. Unfortunately I suspect it will drag out for a number of years before going down. I am a bit surprised that Tish James didn’t want in on this.

End of an era

It’s finally happening. Remington will be closing their plant in Illion in March.

The company has had financial problems for years and coupled with the state’s high tax, poor economic environment the writing has been on the wall for awhile. While the company will continue, it will be sad to see them go.
