Biden Cracks Down On Ammo Imports During A Shortage
From The Truth About Guns:
On Friday, August 20th, Joe Biden signed an executive order blocking the importation of all Russian-made firearms and ammo. The move was ostensibly made to punish the Russians for the imprisonment and attempted murder of dissident Alexey Navalny.
So in the middle of a foreign policy debacle in Afghanistan, Biden has decided to sanctionÂ
Russia America’s gun owners in response to a Russian opposition party figure coming down with an acute case of nerve agent poisoning. This violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention — which occurred a year ago — apparently wasn’t serious enough, though, for the Biden administration to want to stand in the way of Russian gas exports by a Putin friend and former Stasi agent.
Afghan Embassy Staff Desperate
From NBC News:
WASHINGTON — Local staff members at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul are “deeply disheartened†by U.S. evacuation efforts and have expressed a sense of betrayal and distrust in the U.S. government, according to a State Department diplomatic cable obtained by NBC News.

US Has No Idea How Much Equipment The Taliban Captured
From The Independent:
The Pentagon has admitted it has no idea how much of its military hardware has been seized by the Taliban and said it has no plan to try and retrieve it.
ATF Tries To Redefine “Firearm”
The proposed rule, the “Definition of Frame or Receiver and Identification of Firearms†was introduced in May and signed by Attorney General Merrick Garland. Public comments on the rule closed Thursday.
It would amend the Code of Federal Regulations, including the term “firearm†in order to regulate firearm kits, and amend the term “gunsmith†to clarify that gunsmiths must mark unlicensed guns — effectively making the individual the manufacturer. It would implement regulations on nearly all portions of a firearm.

No Cares About The Police Violence That Killed Ashli Babbitt
From The Federalist:
Months after the Department of Justice (DOJ) opted not to charge the unnamed U.S. Capitol Police officer who killed Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, a memo obtained by NBC News indicates the investigation will be fully closed.
The Politicians Continue To Play Checkers In Foreign Policy
From SOFREP:
Incredibly, Secretary of State Blinken said that Chinese influence in Afghanistan could be a positive thing if China sought a “peaceful resolution of the conflict,†and a “truly representative and inclusive†government. Yet, China doesn’t have a government that could be called “representative and inclusive†by anyone. So, why would they work towards one in Afghanistan?
Yet, it’s not unlikely that the Taliban held meetings with the Chinese intelligence service that could have aided in Taliban planning and operations.
Anyone who understands diplomacy and espionage can do the math and see that the Taliban are solidly backed by China. This could have emboldened them to take back Afghanistan in true blitzkrieg style as they did.
Biden and Taliban Agree On Disarming Civilians
From The Truth About Guns:
The Taliban are not the first gun-grabbers to cite need as a reason for firearm confiscation. Joe Biden has been citing it nearly every time he mentions guns.
The World After Afghanistan
From Spiked Online:
While a new regime in Afghanistan offers opportunities, this is still the Taliban we’re talking about. It is still a brutal Islamist movement, committed to the rule of Sharia law. And, insofar as it backs and inspires other Islamists, the Taliban still poses a significant security threat to all those regional powers hoping to take advantage of its retaking of power.
Chaos In Afghanistan Could Be A Positive For Gun Rights At Home
From The Truth About Guns:
Alan M. Gottlieb, the Second Amendment Foundation’s founder and executive vice president, says that out of the swirling chaos may come a silver lining for American gun owners.
“The silver lining might be that there’s such a mess going on, they won’t have time to put through their anti-gun agenda, because right now they have so much other stuff on their plate,†Gottlieb said Sunday night on Armed American Radio.
Armslist Sues Big Tech For Deplatforming
From The Truth About Guns:
Armslist LLC and owner Jonathan Gibbon recently filed a lawsuit against Facebook and Instagram over the social media giants’ decision to suspend Gibbon’s personal and business accounts in January, 2020.
According to the lawsuit, Gibbon and Armslist Marketing Director, Andrew Varney III, were “targeted†because of “their conservative and libertarian political views,†Trib Live reported.
Judge Says ARs Are Not Firearms In Dissent
From US v. Burning Breast:
The relevant evidence in this case came from one ATF expert witness. His testimony was based on ATF records that traced one serialized part on Burning Breast’s gun: the lower receiver. [..] Given these facts, there are two ways the Government could get a conviction. First, it could have proven that the lower receiver found on Burning Breast’s gun is a “receiver,†and so a “firearm†as a matter of law. 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3)(B). Thatwas what the ATF agent repeatedly told the jury, and that was the Government’s theory at trial. [..] There is just one problem: an AR-15’s lower receiver does not meet the Government’s own definition of a “receiver.â€
To be a “receiver,†ATF regulations require the part to “provide housing for the hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism.†[..] That means an AR-15 lower receiver is not a “firearm,†and the Government’s theory at trial was a non-starter.

From Bearing Arms:
Led by a new self-defense militia called “El Machete,†the people had descended from their mountain villages on the town center the previous day to expel the collaborators of a criminal gang who they say has terrorized their community for years.
