ATF has a New “Straw Man”, the Unlicensed Gun Dealer - Ammoland.com
The Department of Justice has issued a press release showing that, over five years, from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021, the number of firearms sold by unlicensed dealers in the USA was less than 1 of 10,000 sold in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s adjusted calculations during the five-year period, the number of firearms sold through the NICS system was 14 million in 2017, 13.5 million in 2018, 13.6 million in 2019, 21.1 million in 2020, and 18.5 million in 2021, for a total of 80.7 million over five years.
The number of firearms sold by unlicensed dealers during the same five-year period was 68,388 firearms. They were uncovered in 3,403 cases. 68,388 may sound like a great deal, but it is less than 1 firearm for every 10,000 legally sold through the NICS system, or .084%.
The Justice Department prefers to use the term “trafficked.” It may be more correct because some of the firearms may be traded or gifted rather than sold. Of the 68,388 firearms “trafficked” by unlicensed dealers, there were 368 cases where the firearms were used in shootings. There were 265 cases where they were used in homicides. This is over the entire five-year period. The press release gives us cases, but a case might involve more than one or more firearms. It is not clear if a case would involve more than one homicide, but it is possible. The vast majority of the cases of unlicensed firearms dealing, 58%, involved a mean of 2.3 firearms, the number of firearms recovered ranging from one to five.

Who will ATF Murder Next? - Ammoland.com
The ATF went to Bryan Malinowski’s West Little Rock home last month, spoiling for a gunfight, and they got one. Now, a good man is dead – the latest victim of ATF’s overly aggressive tactics and complete disregard for the sanctity of human life.
ATF has yet to comment officially on the March 19 killing, other to claim Malinowski fired first. But Malinowski’s family recently released a statement which confirms what everyone already knew: It is extremely unlikely that the 53-year-old airport executive knew he was trading gunfire with federal agents. It is far more likely Malinowski believed he was defending himself and his wife from armed home invaders.
“Bryan Malinowski was asleep but rose to the sound of the door crashing and located a firearm. His wife believed the noise must have been intruders and she fully believes her husband thought the same. He loaded a magazine into a pistol and emerged from the master bedroom into a hallway leading indirectly to the front entryway. He reached a corner in the hall and looked around it to see several unidentifiable figures already several steps inside his home,” Malinowski’s family said in the statement. “We do not know who shot first but it appears that Bryan shot approximately three times at a decidedly low angle, probably at the feet of the intruders who were roughly 30 feet away.”
ATF agents shot Malinowski in the head with a carbine at least once. He lingered for two days and then died from his wounds. ATF did not immediately release his body, so the family was not able to donate his organs.

Banking - gotta love it - From the Inbox
almost no one carries cash anymore...
I have a $50.00 bill in my pocket. I go to a restaurant and pay for dinner with it. The restaurant owner then uses the bill to pay for the laundry. The laundry owner then uses the bill to pay the barber. The barber will then use the bill for shopping. After an unlimited number of payments, it will still remain a $50 - which has fulfilled its purpose to everyone who used it for payment.
But if I come to a restaurant and pay with a credit card, bank fees for my payment transaction charged to the seller are 3%, so around $1.50 and so will the fee $1.50 for each further payment transaction or owner, the laundry or payments of the owner of the laundry shop, or payments of the barber and downhill from there. Therefore, after 30 transactions, the initial $50 only $5.00 will remain and the remaining $45 became the property of the bank thanks to all digital transactions and fees.
Small businesses need your help and this is one way to help ourselves too. When this is put into perspective, imagine what each retailer is paying on a monthly basis in fees at 3% per transaction through their POS machine.
If they have, for example, $50,000 in sales & 90% are by Card, they are paying $1350 in fees in ONE Month. Over $16,000 in a year! That comes straight out of their pocket day in and day out. You can't blame them for added a surcharge for YOUR convenience...
ATF Unveils New Change to the Definition of a Gun Dealer - Ammoland.com
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has unveiled its new rule defining what is a gun dealer. The rule will not go into effect 30 days after it is posted to the Federal Register.
The ATF decided to issue a new rule on who is required to get a federal firearm license (FFL) at the behest of the Biden Administration. The Bureau claims it was granted the power to change the rule under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), passed with some Republican support. Although many gun groups warned Congress of the dangers of passing the bill, their concerns were ignored, and the significance of the bill was downplayed by Republicans like John Cornyn.
The new ATF regulation would require thousands of private sellers to get FFLs for selling as little as a single firearm.
The rule changes a dealer from someone who sells a gun with the “principal objective of livelihood and profit” to “predominantly earn a profit.” According to the new rule, the government doesn’t have to prove the gun seller intends to make a profit by selling the firearm. The rule puts the burden of proof on the accused. The seller would be “presumed” to be in business and an unlicensed dealer. Although this rule only applies to civil and administrative cases due to the presumption of innocence in criminal cases, the rule says the jury in criminal cases can be told of a person being found acting as an unlicensed dealer in a civil case, which many see as a legal loophole.
