President Joe Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms Director Steven Dettelbach seems to know as much about guns as Democrat-nominated Supreme Court justices. As ATF head, Dettelbach, who was confirmed in 2022 with the help of Senate Democrats and two Republicans, is expected to understand to some degree the items his agency regulates and enforces. Unfortunately for Americans who have endured a slew of attacks on their Second Amendment rights at the hands of the Biden administration, Dettelbach is publicly ignorant about the guns and gun parts his agency wants to ban. During his appearance on CBS’s “Face The Nation” over the weekend, Dettelbach outlined for CBS News’s Margaret Brennan the ATF’s

Dettelbach, head of a federal agency with the real goal of ending private firearm ownership, doesn't know the difference between a magazine and a clip. He needs to lay off the gangsta rap and learn a thing or two about firearms before opening his ignorant trap.

It's all right. Pete Buttigieg is secretary of transportation and doesn't know anything about that, either. "Pothole Pete," couldn't even fix the streets of South Bend, Indiana. Population of about 100,000 so you know that Pete has the broad and deep understanding needed for a government job. It's the ideologues running the show - just like the USSR. It doesn't matter what you know or can do - it's how LOYAL YOU ARE TO THE PARTY.

January 20, 2025 is the Presidential Inauguration day (MLK Day also). I think that Tuesday, January 21, 2025 will become know a Bloody Tuesday as President Trump fires a whole host of embedded liberal bureaucrats Agency Heads who do not/will not cooperate with the Trump/conservative agenda for the country. The media will be in a frenzy about how Trump has taken power and has now made himself the fascist dictator. All that he will really be doing is correcting the damage that has been done over the past 4 years and setting the USA on a course for future success.

The constitution is very clear; the government has no authority to ban or regulate any firearm for any reason. Not that the Constitution interests them.

This is just another reason why there should not be a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. None of those things are the government's business. Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives should be a retail store, not a government agency. The same goes for the Depts. of Education, Energy, Agriculture, Housing and the EPA.

Common sense will tell you that violent criminals and “nut jobs” do not obey gun control regulations and laws. In contrast 99.9% of the time those regulations and laws are an inconvenience to law abiding citizens who do obey such regulations and laws, and who do not use firearms for unlawful purposes.

Millions and millions of Americans took an oath to "protect the Constitution from all enemies, FOREIGN and DOMESTIC." And most of them still take this oath very seriously. The jack booted thug types had better beware. They are outnumbered by about 10,000 to one.

FTA: "Chris Bort—the acting chief of the ATF's Firearms Ammunition Technology Division couldn’t assemble or disassemble a Glock." These leftist activists, every one an ignorant hoplophobe, don't appear to know anything about what it is they're supposed to be regulating. Taking apart a Glock for cleaning, or putting a Glock back together, takes about five seconds. Hold the gun in a way that pulls the slide back slightly, pull down the two spring loaded levers, and the slide with barrel and recoil spring comes right off. Even people with crassitude, with IQs of below 60, imbeciles, can easily learn how to take down most firearms. But that's beyond Bloomberg's minions. They don't want to know anything about creepy guns, except that thery believe that only the government and criminals should have them.

One necessary addition to #16, concerning taking apart a Glock: Different types of firearms break down differently. Glock is one pistol make requiring the trigger to be pulled before gripping the gun to pull the slide back slightly, depressing the two levers, and pushing the slide forward off the frame. Since the trigger must be pulled first, the chamber MUST be empty and then the magazine ejected before taking the slide off. Otherwise, the gun will fire.

Correction of correction: Magazine always out first! Then clear the chamber. I like to lock the gun open so I can look down through the empty magazine chamber, then see if there is a chambered round to removed. Never break a safety rule with anything dangerous like a gun, chainsaw, ax, etc.

Congress is set to advance a bipartisan bill Thursday that will regulate TikTok, sparking the social media platform to launch an effort urging users to call their representatives, which has resulted in reports of disturbing threats being directed toward lawmakers. At least two House offices have said that they've received calls from U.S. children threatening suicide if the bill passes, according to The Spectator. "It’s so so bad. Our phones have not stopped ringing. They’re teenagers and old people saying they spend their whole day on the app and we cant [sic] take it away," one GOP congressional staffer told a Politico reporter.

"The Young Turks" host Cenk Uygur on Wednesday ended his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination after failing to make significant headway against President Joe Biden. Uygur announced his campaign in October of last year, but failed to attract significant media attention or claim any delegates in party primary contests. He indicated to The Hill on Wednesday that he had mounted the effort due to fears that Biden could not emerge victorious in the general contest against former President Donald Trump. "This was an act of desperation to try to change the course of this campaign because Biden I was positive was going to lose," he said. Born in Turkey,

When the nation finally learned that the president "was a pharmaceutical miracle, with his own speed connection," as part of a "crazy-quilt array of drugs" that kept him mostly functional, at least during public appearances, it came as no surprise.

I don't want to sound like an alarmist but that part of the oath our military, police, and politicians take that mentions "enemies foreign and domestic" might be more than just a phrase. When Gropey Joe Biden isn't fighting to keep the borders open or flying 320,000 illegal immigrants to our airports at all hours of the night, he is doing his dementia-best to disarm We the People, especially of those big, scary AR-15 rifles.

Super Tuesday may have been the day that Joe Biden lost the 2024 presidential election and Donald Trump won it. Both outcomes will have had nothing to do with the vote tallies on Tuesday when a third of the nominating delegates were up for grabs. This moment will have had everything to do with Biden's treachery and Trump's rectitude, if you can believe it. Let's back up for a moment for those curious enough to have read this far.

That may change down the road, we'll have to wait and see. She did offer her congratulations to Trump and wished him well. Haley liked to say that her campaign was not all about her, that it was not personal. She said she was running for the sake of America.

Any voter who listened to a stump speech from former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley during her primary campaign against Donald Trump -- which she just ended -- was likely to hear a variation of one message: The former president can't win in November because he's been losing a notable minority of Republican voters. "He lost 40% of the primary vote in all of the early states," she said last week at a campaign rally in Minnesota. "You can't win the general election if you can't win that 40% [back]." Haley was exaggerating. For example, in the 15 GOP states that voted on Super Tuesday, she has gotten less than 20%
