Supreme Court Denies Patrick Tate Adamiak Case as Resentencing Looms - Ammoland.com
On Monday, the Supreme Court denied certiorari in Patrick Tate Adamiak’s case. His only hope remains a June resentencing or a presidential pardon.
Mr. Adamiak was a decorated Navy sailor who served as a Petty Officer 1st Class (E-6, Master-at-Arms). He was slated for BUD/S training to become a Navy SEAL. In 2016, he started a side business selling firearm parts and military surplus on GunBroker.com and his own website, Black Dog Arsenal. He rose to one of the top 500 dealers on GunBroker, generating over $10,000 in legal sales per month. He never sold functional firearms or National Firearms Act (NFA) items.
In late 2021, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) started an investigation into Adamiak after a paid informant (facing his own charges) told the ATF that Adamiak was selling machine guns. The paid confidential informant hired Adamiak to broker a deal between a GunBroker seller and an undercover ATF agent. Mr. Adamiak sold the undercover agent cut-up/demilled receivers (e.g., PPSh-41, PPS-43, Thompson) and other parts. The parts were cut with a bandsaw and not a torch. The ATF claimed that these cuts were insufficient to render the items inert.

I was at this concert and you can see the back of my head a few times. I sat to the far left a little to the side of MISA's area in my wheel/mobility chair. Considering I had turned 55 just a few days before on the 10th aka Maid's Day, it was a most enjoyable birthday for me.

6 ARC?
Here is a series of videos about the 6mm ARC cartridge for the AR-15/M16/M4 platform of rifles. Drop your thoughts in the comments.
Opinel: The Business of not Improving Things - Critical Findings
I've owned several Opinel #8's. I have one sitting next to my keyboard as I type this. ALL of them, I use simply for cooking and eating.
The one next to me right now, the last time I used it was to slice beef summer sausage, cheese, carrots and cucumbers for my snack.
In my 72 hour bag, I have 3 HDR Rations, a 3 lbs beef summer sausage, some waxed hard cheese, hard rye crackers, a Croatian canteen/mess kit, and an Opinel #8. There is also the plastic poncho, a small ground cloth, some 550 cord and what not, but I ALWAYS have an Opinel #8 specifically for cooking/preparing food.
I am actually looking in to trying out an Opinel folding filet knife this summer, a #15 with a 5.9" blade. It's just under $30.00, I think I can set aside enough to get that by July. I've cleaned fish with a #8 before and it does the job just fine on smaller fish, but I live on the Gulf, and some of the fish I've caught have gotten quite large, that using a #8 might risk injuring myself. So I'll get a longer #15 that has a thinner and slightly more flexible blade.
But if you have never tried using an Opinel for cooking, you don't know what you are missing.
I have even given my mother an Opinel #8 with a leather case, and I told her to use it for slicing her vegetables. I don't know if she has, but I did giver her one.
Blogger is annoying me greatly at the moment.
This is why I have been spending more time horizontal for the last day and a half. I wish it would just LEAVE and take it's pressure differential with it so my joints would quit screaming.

LAWYER: If Cops Say "Hand Me Your Keys" - Say THIS (Simple Phrase) - Hampton Law
YouTube is playing around. This video was published May 15th, 2026. It is now May 17th, 2026 and it literally just showed up in my subscription list as being published.
I have lost track of how many videos by how many creators that YouTube suppresses from view, sometimes for weeks, but usually for 2-4 days.
I have well over 3,000 channels on YouTube I am subscribed to, I do NOT have enough time in the day to go through my whole list, channel by channel to see if they have uploaded a new video.
I have my preferences set to notifiy me of ALL new uploads and post by ALL of the channels I susbcribe to, yet YouTube keeps "Playing" and hiding things from not just me, but others as well.

Dugan Ashley of CarniK Con Arrested On Explosives Charges - Ammoland.com
Jordan Derrick (known online as Dugan Ashley or from the YouTube channel CarniK Con), age 40, was charged in a federal criminal complaint on May 12 in the Western District of Missouri. Authorities charged him with engaging in the business of manufacturing explosive materials without a license, unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device, and distributing information relating to the manufacture of explosives.
Derrick was a well-known figure in the firearms, reloading, and “guntuber” communities. He ran a channel called CarniK Con before leaving YouTube on March 27, 2015 (the CarniK Con channel was removed on September 7, 2017).
“Pulling the plug on CarniK Con, effective immediately,” Derrick wrote on Facebook. “Leaving Soc. Med. up, am available for hired work, [email removed]. May or may not upload the most recent video to YT at some point, but won’t be making new posts. This is probably the last one. #out”
CarniK Con is widely considered to be one of the first successful YouTube channels for gun content. He returned to YouTube a few years later, launching a podcast called Dark Light Dugan with co-hosts Dark Mavis and Light. He later left the podcast, and the YouTube channel continued with only the remaining host, Dark Mavis, before rebranding as DLD After Dark.

AI Could Turn ATF’s 4473 Stockpile Into the Gun Registry Congress Banned - Ammoland.com
American gun owners should be up in arms over any federal gun registration scheme. The threat of artificial intelligence only makes the danger worse.
For decades, Second Amendment supporters have warned that ATF’s growing stockpile of firearm transaction records could become the national gun registry Congress explicitly banned in 1986. ATF’s excuse has always been that its records are not searchable by a buyer’s name. That was never much comfort. In the age of AI, it is almost meaningless.
That is the warning at the center of a new Firearms Research Center paper by Del Schlangen, titled “Congress Banned a Gun Registry; AI Inference May Render the Prohibition Obsolete.” The paper argues that the long fight over ATF’s digitized firearm transaction records may already be behind the technology curve. The old question was whether ATF’s database is “searchable.” The new question is whether artificial intelligence can make that excuse irrelevant.
AmmoLand readers know the background. We have been covering ATF’s out-of-business dealer record stockpile for years, including the agency’s 920-million-plus record holdings, the digitization of those records, and the obvious concern that the Bureau is sitting on the building blocks of a national gun registry. AmmoLand previously reported that ATF acknowledged holding 920,664,765 firearm records, with almost all already scanned or digitized.
That number has only become harder to dismiss. In 2026, AmmoLand covered Senate testimony warning that ATF has nearly one billion firearm records, with 94 percent already digitized. GOA’s Erich Pratt told senators the system is “not a registry in name only” but “a confiscation list waiting to be used.”
ATF’s defense has been just as familiar: the records supposedly cannot be searched by purchaser name. That was never good enough. Now, in an AI world, it borders on absurd.
