Multi-Rifle Reporting In The Southwest and more anti-gun regulations?

In all probability, as has been reported by Snowflakes in Hell and No Lawyers, Only Guns & Money, the new DOJ rules requiring gun stores along the southern border to report certain multiple long gun sales will not survive legal scrutiny. The amazing thing to me is that the administration is sticking to its narrative, e.g. the “Iron River” of guns flowing into into Mexico, even though the “Fast and Furious” Congressional investigation and subsequent revelations have proven conclusively that the only Iron River flowing into Mexico is the one being run by the U.S. government.

It is, I think, part and parcel of the Left’s love of the Big Lie… if they just keep saying it over and over and over, eventually it becomes accepted as, if not truth, at least gospel (and remember, the antigun “movement” was never actuality a “movement” in the accepted sense of the word, but rather an issue of gospel, an accepted shibboleth of the liberal religion… “I don’t care about the fact; I know what I believe“…pretty much on par with saying that regardless of the facts, that pesky sun does in fact orbit the earth). Think of that line about a gun in the home being 43 times more likely blah blah. That fake statistic has been debunked for years, yet it is still routinely cited by the MSM as the “gospel” truth.

This is the first salvo of the Administration’s antigun initiative, to be carried out entirely by fiat with no legislative approval necessary. If you go back through the Mayors Against Illegal Guns‘s white paper, many of the recommended actions involve hugely increasing the “mission” of and funding for the ATF… I fully expect to see these recommendations on the table in future weeks. I suspect the big pushes will come against gun shows and the non-existent “loophole” and the importability of certain weapons (ATF has been sniffing around magazine-fed shotguns for months).
