Financial Institutions Fighting Rule That Would Force Them To Do Business With Firearms Industry

Thu, 01/07/2021 - 15:26

Financial institutions are pushing back against a proposed rule change that would force them to work with the firearms industry, citing concerns over the legality of the measure.

Introduced by the Treasury Department’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in November, the measure would block financial institutions from refusing to do business with companies the banks believe may hurt their image. The rule requires that banks base decisions on financial risk assessment: As long as the numbers are financially sound, banks will be unable to deny services to a lawful business.

ATF To Institute Rulemaking/Guidance Regarding Stabilizing Braces And Require Registration Of Currently Owned Braces

Thu, 12/17/2020 - 11:14

In a 16 page draft copy of proposed rulemaking/guidance specifying “Objective Factors for Classifying Stablizing Braces”, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has proposed entering into rulemaking to delineate the objective factors considered when “evaluating firearms with an attached stabilizing brace to determine whether they are considered firearms under the National Firearms Act (‘NFA’) and/or the Gun Control Act (‘GCA)” and the Department of Justice’s plan to “subsequently implement a separate process for current possessors of stabilizer-equipped firearms to choose to register such firearms in compliance with the NFA.”

Biden’s Gun Control Plan

Wed, 11/25/2020 - 10:22

Joe Biden is proposing to force owners of assault-style rifles to either sell their firearms through a voluntary buyback program or register them with the federal government under the same law that was first used to strictly control sales of machine guns in the wake of the gangland shootings of the 1920s and ’30s.

The gun control plan that Biden’s campaign unveiled on Wednesday also aims to tackle urban gun violence with an eight-year, $900 million program that would go toward efforts to combat shootings in 40 cities with the highest rates of gun violence.

Biden’s Gun Tax: $34 Billion

Thu, 11/19/2020 - 10:48

Under the plan, Biden gives “individuals who now possess assault weapons or high-capacity magazines two options: Sell the weapons to the government, or register them under the National Firearms Act.”

So, in essence, those gun owners who choose to keep their weapons would be forced to register them with the ATF and pay the $200 tax.

Miss You Sean

November 14, 2013

Sean,

So many things I would have liked to share with you… The simple pleasure of warm sunlight on your face. The color of the sky on a cloudless, moonless night. The smell of a freshly caught fish. The intensity of what truly great music sounds like. Subtleties involved in humor.

But we will never have those — or the millions of other — opportunities.

Goodbye son. Show me around and tell me what it’s like when I get there.

Love,
Dad

ATF Consulting With Biden Team To Enact Bans

Wed, 11/11/2020 - 09:12

While the court battles over control of the Whitehouse continues, the leadership of the ATF has already started working with the Biden transition to restrict American’s gun rights further.


Biden will not officially become the president-elect until the election results are certified. Although the former Vice President has claimed victory, Trump has pointed to widespread voter fraud.

Rudy Giuliani showed that Will Smith’s long-dead grandfather and deceased boxer Joe Frazier voted in the election.

November 10th, 2020, during an ATF conference call, Acting Director Regina Lombardo told those in attendance that the anti-gun Biden transition team has reached out to the ATF to get the agency’s “top priorities”.

AmmoLand News’ anonymous source said Lombardo told those on the call that her priorities would be pistol braces and 80% lower receivers.

Walmart Removes Guns & Ammuniton Displays Nationwide

Fri, 10/30/2020 - 00:21

Walmart Inc. has removed all guns and ammunition from the sales floors of its U.S. stores this week, aiming to head off any potential theft of firearms if stores are broken into amid social unrest.

The retail giant, which sells firearms in about half of its 4,700 U.S. stores, said customers can still purchase guns and ammunition upon request even though they are no longer on display.

“We have seen some isolated civil unrest and as we have done on several occasions over the last few years, we have moved our firearms and ammunition off the sales floor as a precaution for the safety of our associates and customers,” a Walmart spokesman said. The company hasn’t decided how long the items will stay out of view, he said.

One To Suppress Them All

PSA Dagger

Wed, 10/14/2020 - 16:50

At Palmetto State Armory we dedicate every working hour to ensure the delivery of quality firearms with a 100% Full Lifetime Warranty and a price that makes them most accessible to law abiding Americans.

We have found inconsistencies in a part arriving from a supplier for the production of the Dagger. While the sample batch we produced prior to mass production both tested well and met our criteria, as we went into full production our team discovered discrepancies in the part we received. That difference meant our standard was not being met.

While we are working with that supplier to correct their issue we do not feel comfortable shipping the first batch until the corrections are made. Anyone who has purchased a Dagger is being contacted and offered the chance to hold their place in line and receive a free threaded barrel upgrade or receive a full refund.

We apologize for the delay and we are grateful for your patience as we move forward.
