Shitty laws and special privileges lead to corruption

This blog has covered the insane level of corruption in the NYPD pistol permit division. Described by one former officer as a bribery machine.

Simply, to get a pistol permit in NYC, it was may issue with lots of requirements.  The police knew that the wealthy and well connected wanted gun permits and the wealthy and well connected could pay handsomely for the privilege of a permit.  The whole system was corrupt as fuck.

The NYPD pistol permit scheme isn’t the only one like that.

The Hughes Amendment of the Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986 prevented the private purchase and registration of new machine guns.

The only way to obtain a post 1986 machine gun was to be a dealer or manufacturer of destructive devices with a special occupancy tax.

To be an FFL SOT isn’t cheap and it requires jumping through a lot of hoops.  It’s also not may issue.

You can see where this is going.

Some people engaged in bribery with law enforcement to obtain FFL SOT as an end run around the Hughes Amendment.

They had a “business” as a dealer but didn’t actually do any dealing.

The dealer samples they acquired were treated like a personal collection and were used to make YouTube videos and Instagram posts.

The thing is, the ATF doesn’t take kindly to this.

North Carolina and North Dakota Police Chiefs and Federal Firearms Licensees Indicted for Conspiracy to Illegally Acquire Machineguns and Other Firearms

A federal grand jury has returned an indictment charging five defendants with a conspiracy to illegally acquire machineguns and other regulated firearms. Charged in the indictment, which was unsealed yesterday are: Sean Reidpath Sullivan, age 38, of Gambrills, Maryland; Larry Allen Vickers, age 60, of Charlotte, North Carolina; James Christopher Tafoya, age 45, of Albuquerque, New Mexico; Matthew Jeremy Hall, age 53, of Four Oaks, North Carolina; and James Sawyer, age 50, of Ray, North Dakota.

According to the 26-count indictment, Hall and Sawyer were Chiefs of Police in Coats, North Carolina and Ray, North Dakota, respectively. Sullivan was the owner and operator of Trident, LLC, located in Gambrills, Maryland, and was also an Intelligence Analyst with the Department of Homeland Security Investigations. Sullivan and Trident were Federal Firearms Licensees (“FFLs”) and Special Occupational Taxpayers (“SOTs”), which allowed them, in certain circumstances, to possess, import, manufacture, and deal in fully automatic firearms (machineguns) and other regulated firearms. Tafoya and Vickers owned and operated firearms related businesses in New Mexico and North Carolina and were also FFLs and SOTs.

The indictment alleges that, beginning in at least June 2018 through at least March 2021, the defendants conspired to acquire machineguns and/or other restricted firearms, such as short-barreled rifles, by falsely representing that the firearms would be used for demonstration to law enforcement agencies, including the Coats Police Department and the Ray Police Department. The indictment further alleges that Hall, Sawyer, and other conspirators signed law letters with no expectation that the weapons would ever be demonstrated to their respective law enforcement agencies.

The defendants allegedly intended to impermissibly import into the United States and resell the machineguns and other firearms for profit or to keep for their own use and enjoyment. Sullivan allegedly submitted the false law letters to the ATF seeking to import the machineguns and other restricted weapons. Once the firearms were received, Sullivan allegedly kept some of the machineguns and other restricted weapons and transferred some of the weapons to Vickers, Tafoya, and other conspirators.

In addition to the indictment, Larry Vickers pleaded guilty yesterday to participating in the conspiracy to import and obtain machineguns and other restricted firearms and admitted that he received some of the imported machineguns and other weapons. As detailed in his plea agreement, Vickers kept some of the machineguns and other restricted weapons in his personal collection and transferred other machineguns and restricted weapons to other FFLs and third parties. Vickers also pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to violate U.S. sanctions against a foreign firearms manufacturer between July 2014 and March 2021, in the Southern District of Florida.

Yes, that Larry Vickers.

And I can tell you with absolute assuredness, he’s not alone.

A lot of popular YouTubers who make lots of money shooting machine guns and other destructive devices have done the same.

Making a monetized YouTube video isn’t what an FFL SOT is for.

I’m going to be honest, fuck them.

Two things can be true at the same time.

Thing one:

The Hughes Amendment is a giant load of bullshit.  The NFA is an unconstitutional load of bullshit.  Law abiding American citizens should have the right to buy machine guns without jumping through federal hoops.  I want to make gun laws great again, like in 1934, when a man could walk into a gun store and buy a Colt Monitor and walk out with it.

Thing two:

Until the Supreme Court kills the NFA, the law is the law, and gun-tubers (ever or especially retired Special Forces guys) need to obey it.  They don’t have more rights and privileges than the rest of us, and using their YouTube money to bribe their way into getting illegal FFL SOTs to pad their personal collections is breaking the law.  And personally, the way some of them have flaunted the law while the rest of us work so diligently to obey it, I’m looking forward to some schadenfreude if they get fucked for what they’ve done.

If you want a machine gun, and I want a machine gun, use your influence to try and change the law.  Don’t bribe your way into getting illegal machine guns.

Shitty laws that rich people will bribe their way into violating only creates a two tier system of corruption where those who can afford bribes break the law for privileges, and those who can’t afford the bribes have no rights.

10/7 is coming to America

The 10/7 attack on Israel is coming to America.

The radical Leftists on college campuses have been cheering on the “decolonization” of Israel.

Never mind that the Jews are indigenous and the Arab Palestinians who practice a religion from Saudi Arabia are the colonists.

This is nothing but a rhetorical device to justify racial war and genocide.

This is a perfect example:

 

He’s black. Obviously not indigenous to the US either, but that really doesn’t matter.  He just needs a way to make his desire to commit genocide against white people morally righteous.

He’s not one.

Posters like this have been appearing all over America.

 

First a genocide in Israel, then a genocide here.

Ideologically, they want to commit genocide.

The question is, are they brave enough to try it in a nation with a gun culture like ours?

Don’t break your perimeter (no matter how tempting)

 

That piece of shit is in desperate need of an ass-kicking.

But despite his threats, he stayed outside the house.

The people inside the house remained safe.

That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t have been standing in my foyer with a face-eraser hoping he would kick in my door giving me the legal justification, caught in video, to remove his head with a load of buckshot.

But he didn’t.

Don’t break your perimeter.

It was always about Jew hatred

Nearly two hundred people in Israel were kidnapped by Hamas and taken hostage in Gaza.

Across the country, supporters of Israel have been putting up posters showing the names abs faces of those missing and kidnapped.  Many are babies or elderly.

One of the more grotesque trends in recent days has been savages tearing down and destroying those posters.

In Miami:

 

New York City:

 

Philadelphia:

 

New York City (again):

 

Ian Fleming famously said, “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.”

There has been more than three of these caught on camera.

These savages don’t want people to feel sympathy for Israelis taken hostage.

They don’t want people to see the atrocities carried out by Hamas.

This proves unequivocally that their hatred has nothing to do with land or political sovereignty, they just hate Jews and want to destroy them all.

I will never give up my guns

Calls for violence against Jews rose by 1,200% with NYC emerging as epicenter of threats: report

A shocking new report suggests the number of antisemitic posts online increased 1,200% since Hamas began its terror attack in Israel on October 7 — with New York City emerging as an epicenter for this hate.

The Antisemitism Cyber Security Monitoring System found that between October 7 and October 10, at least 157,000 posts calling for violence against Israel, Zionists and Jews were made online, according to a survey obtained by the Jerusalem Post.

That represents a 450% increase from the four days before. It also represents a 360% increase when compared to the same period last month.

Separately, a report from the Anti-Defamation League found 347 messages on Telegram from extremists calling for violence against Jews, Israelis and Zionists in just the first 18 hours after Hamas’ surprise attack — up approximately 488% from the day before, according to USA Today.

In the UK, the first four days of the conflict saw a surge in antisemitic content of over 300%, according to the government’s Community Security Trust.

A 1,200% increase in a week.

The Left half the of Western World is celebrating the mass murder of Jews in Israel.

This, this right fucking here, is exactly why I own guns and train with my guns.

These fucking people would frog march my Jewish ass into a gas chamber to the shouts of “decolonize” and “free Palestine” with alacrity.

They said so and I believe them.

The only question now is: is this just talk or will they actually try it?

If they do, I’ll be fucking ready.

Fuck New York

 

Jews should not have to hide because the Palestinian terrorist supporters are having a field day.

Jews should be allowed to be armed to the fucking teeth and the State of New York should be protecting innocent people from terrorism.

To tell the Jews to hide on the Sabbath is fucking disgusting.

Fuck the State of New York.
