When Wayne LaPierre said on CBS’s Face the Nation that the ATF needed to “do its job” with respect to bump stocks, one wonders if he was asking the agency to turn thousands of law-abiding gun owners into outlaws. Because that, my friends, is exactly what is happening.

If you currently own a reciprocating stock you will soon be in possession of a machine gun. Unlawful possession of a machine gun is a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison, according to the DOJ.   Continue reading “Face 10 Years In Prison If You Don’t Surrender Your Bump Stock in 90 Days”

The FBI is no longer a law enforcement agency even though it has the power to arrest and prosecute. The recent Inspector General (OIG) report combined with massive foul-ups of top level FBI agents makes it very clear that the bureau is a force dedicated to its own agenda – not fighting crime.

The fact is the FBI fouled up the investigation of a major terrorist event. On Dec. 2, 2015, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik staged a terror attack in San Bernardino, California killing 14 people. Farook was a food inspector for the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health and he was issued a county owned Apple iPhone for work use.   Continue reading “Dark Shadows – FBI Ignores 14 Dead For An Agenda”
