@MorosKostas @2Aupdates Maybe this is why they haven't posted yet

🚨BREAKING🚨 GOF, @GunOwners, along with @right2bear & @VA_Gun_Rights, filed our legal challenge to @GovernorVA Spanberger's prohibition on commonly-owned firearms & mags, plus restrictions on carrying them. SCOTUS already said you can't ban the most popular firearms.

@MorosKostas This is going to be great to reference when The Trace does a different article complaining about the FOPA rule (bonus if it says that people could mail guns instead)

Now this is REALLY funny. The Trace is arguing mailing handguns isn't necessary, because ATF rule changes will clarify FOPA protections to cover incidental stops. But the antigunners (including the Trace's sister org, Everytown) are all very angry about that change (and others), and will probably submit a comment letter opposing it, and will support antigun states who may sue to stop the change.

They aren't "anti-violence advocates," they are gun ban advocates. The Trace should stop with the euphemisms. If they were anti-violence advocates, they would admit they were wrong and withdraw their demand for gun control laws when the violence they predicted did not come to pass. But they never do that. For example, let's say this handgun mailing thing goes into effect, a couple of years pass, and there is no increase in any crime attributable to this change. A truly anti-violence advocate would say "OK, I guess we were wrong, we withdraw our opposition to this, mailing handguns under these USPS procedures is fine." But a gun ban advocate won't make the same concession, because banning guns - and not stopping violence - is the real goal. Also, the use of "anti-violence" advocates implies their opposition is pro-violence, which is also BS.

I love how they get extended statements and opining from antigun hacks like Spitzer, Stevenson, and Willinger, and then for the fake appearance of "balance," borrow a short statement John Commerford gave to USA Today.

@MorosKostas Does his local FFL make him step on a scale before answering the weight question on the 4473?

@2Aupdates Yes, but just for fun not because it's required

At 428 comments, the proposed new ATF rule with the most activity by far is "Selecting Biological Sex on ATF Forms." This is likely because Reddit is absolutely convinced that it's a secret trans gun ban: federalregister.gov/documents/2026…

@2Aupdates every time lol. "You don't need X because Y, but we also oppose Y"

Well, maybe your jackass Democrat friends in New York and New Jersey shouldn't have arrested hundreds of people at airports, and then told them to "Tell it to the judge" when it came to FOPA protections. A big reason this is necessary is because some antigun states openly violate FOPA, so mailing guns is the safer alternative.

@MorosKostas Notice how the lawyers arguing against the rule aren't making the theft argument, since that would be an argument against the status quo and not the rule itself

Oh wow, and how were those handguns mailed by military, law enforcement, manufacturers and dealers not stolen? Because dear Trace, your article just said literally one paragraph before this that there's "the problem of theft." Does that problem not exist if the person who mailed the handgun is a dealer?

Why the hell would we trust these same people with our ballots, then? Especially when most federal employees probably favor Democrats? If they are too untrustworthy to not steal even tracked packages, why wouldn't they also be too untrustworthy to not mess with an election?

This comment says that "neither sex, nor 'sex at birth' has been necessary to the administrative workings or principles of the ATF," but then asks the agency to "maintain current identification standards"... which currently ask for the applicant's sex: regulations.gov/comment/ATF-20…

"...when I submit the paperwork to manufacture a suppressor, am I expected to attach a photo of my penis when I send it to the ATF?" regulations.gov/comment/ATF-20…

There are still no posts on r/liberalgunowners about the Virginia gun ban being signed

Yes, I'm sure there is a whole giant group of criminals-to-be waiting on USPS handgun mailing changes to begin their life of crime.

@MorosKostas Because postal employees can't be trusted to abide by that apparently, even though The Trace does not point to any evidence of long guns being stolen under the current system

So tracked package, signature on delivery, and return service requested are all required. Again, what is the concern here distinct from long guns?

@MorosKostas Well their president is the president of Everytown and they get a large amount of their funding from them, so...
