Former ATF Agent Crafts "Report" For Everytown

Leftist domestic enemies have always attacked the firearms manufacturers, retailers and customers in their incessant assaults on the Constitution, and little Miss Marianna Mitchem, former associate Assistant Director of Industry Operations at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (and really big fires!) is certainly one of them. When she left the ATF, she found a natural fit at "Everytown for Gun Safety", one of the many civilian disarmament cartels. As her duties there apparently include contriving anti-2nd Amendment propaganda, she co-wrote a slanderous, libelous "report" (i.e. anti-2A propaganda piece) that paints ALL gun dealers as the primary source of all gun trafficking order to further assault the firearms industry, and Royce destroys it with a brutal application of the facts in this episode.

that Royce Bartlett sent you.
Roy's Bartlett, the keeper in the bearer of truth we know.
Only the facts about the Second Amendment. And never, ever forget that all gun
control laws are nothing less than overt acts of aggression against the American
people and their rights. Exercise your rights in a safe way. Stupidity to think that
someone hell vent on violating the law against murder will magically be stopped by a
gun control law. Politicians that infringe on our God given rights,
he calls him out, he's not here to play.
So turn it on, tune in, crank it up,
Roy's Bartlett, and the Shooting straight show.
Let's go! Let's go!
Well, you heard the man, he said it twice. Let's go. We are locked and loaded and
loud on the Shooting Straight Radio podcast. This is the program all about firearms,
the Second Amendment, and all things pertaining there too. I am Royce, your humble
host, still saturated with gunshot residue, reeking of toxic masculinity,
and a faint yet oh so wildly tantalizing whiff of the cologne of my people,
and that would be hops number nine. We've got a lot to talk about. And matter of
fact, we're just going to go ahead and dive right on into it. First, I want to
offer up an apology for the poor sound quality in the last episode. That is
entirely on me. Has nothing to do with my producer and engineer, Mr. Norm Manor.
He did the best he could with that audio file. I don't know how it got corrupted
and why my guest, Izzy Matos, sounded like he was shouting through a megaphone,
but just seeming to have all kinds of problems. Every time I want to have a guest
phone into the program. So if y 'all want to shoot some pointers to me on what
kind of apps or programs I could use to do that, that would be great. But I have
tried everything from Skype to Zoom and every other bloody thing. And for some
reason, they all glitch on me. So I think it's me, honestly.
I think electronics don't like me, and I hate them back exponentially. My body has
some sort of a weird magnetic field. I have fried probably three or four Casio G
-shock watches. Yes, I can't wear G -shock watches. I zap them.
If I have them on my wrist more than, you know, a couple of weeks, they're 20
minutes fast all of a sudden. I mean, they race ahead, all of them. And so I
can't wear G -shock watches anymore. I have to find a certain brand, and I'm not
going to say which, because they don't pay me to advertise for them. But I finally
found one that my body doesn't fry, and I'm not sure if it was just me interacting
badly with my soundboard, but man, it kind of ticked me off.
But thank you for struggling through the listening part of that. Izzy had a lot of
good information to give us, and I really appreciate your patience. And so take that
for what it's worth, all right? Let's just get on into it. Most of y 'all already
know what the tactics of the left include and how they act towards us gun owners
and towards the Second Amendment in general. They like to demonize guns. They'd like
to demonize conservative gun owners. They like to demonize the industry,
both the manufacturers and the retailers. And they are incessantly puking out anti
-rights propaganda from the propaganda wing of the Democrat Communist Party,
which is the media. They also like to craft and use doctored studies,
quote, unquote, from allegedly intelligent people in lofty positions with a lot of
degrees after their name. And they don't impress me at all if they have no common
sense. They also like to employ legislative treason by passing illegal gun control
laws. And I'm going to say this right now, there's no such thing as a
constitutional gun control law. They also like to employ false allegations against gun
owners and the industry. They like to bring lawfare in junk suits against the
industry and attempt to bankrupt it. So we're all already very aware of some of
their underhanded crap. All of those actions are treasonous actions.
All of those actions assault the security of the free state. All of those actions I
just mentioned are encompassed in a quote unquote report put out by the former
associate assistant director of field operations, industry operations,
at the ATF, and that would be none other than Ms. Mariana Mitchum. And after she
left the ATF, she seamlessly segued into a job at none other than the every town
civilian disarmament cartel. I'm sure it was a very smooth transition as she
gravitated to it as easily as cat turns to a litter box. And I'm sure that the
ATF is a great recruiting ground for some of these Civilian disarmament cartels.
I am of the opinion that one of the aims of all of these civilian disarmament
cartels is to have the government of this nation, all the governments, federal and
state, to have complete control, total control over the gun industry as a whole,
including manufacturing and retail, you know, a lot like Mexico does.
Yes, they have one lawful gun store in Mexico City. One,
one, yes, in his government run. Gee, I'm sure it's efficient. Uh -huh.
Once they have complete control over the industry and over retail sales and
everything, that's when they're going to begin their billion disarmament attempts in
earnest, just like Mexico did. But first, like all the other leftist schemes,
they're going to be pressing the false narrative that gun dealers are the ones that
are actually fueling gun violence. Yes, that's a new popular narrative out there.
Actually, it's not really new, but it's become more propagated, more thoroughly and
heavily propagated, which, as you know,
their vilification of the industry was preceded, of course, by vilification of gun
owners, of course. They made us all out to be the catalysts for gun violence,
and that hasn't worked very well. They ran up against a wall of truth that they
couldn't butt their head through, and we need to keep making them do that. That's
why I do this program largely, is to put the truth out there for you,
all my listeners, to hear, and to pass on to other people because nothing beats
lies into the dirt quite like a big bomb of truth. Okay? So after the demonizing
of gun dealers has run its course. Then they're going to follow up with a renewed
full -out assault on gun manufacturers, and they've already been doing this with a
lot more attempted junk lawsuits. One recently started in California against Glock.
So anyway, back to this little caterwalling commie who left the ATF and now works
for the civilian disarmament cartel known as Everytown, Ms. Mariana Mitchum has co
-authored this study or this report titled, here it is,
the supply side of violence, how gun dealers fuel firearm trafficking.
Yeah, how does that title grab you right there. Yes, this stupid little commie
blippity blank and blip -blip is literally accusing many of my sponsors as being the
fuelers of firearms trafficking, illegal firearms trafficking.
Well, you know what? If it wasn't for gun control, there would be no gun
trafficking. Yeah, Yeah, you chew on that for just a second. Without gun control,
there would be no underground market. You're welcome. Funny before all of this crap
was going on, none of the rampant, widespread gun violence was occurring across the
country like it is today. Suddenly, the government gets involved, begin to take over
the industry via licensing, and suddenly, what do you know,
crime begins to flourish, violent crime, especially, and they claimed it was being
done to stop all the gang violence in Chicago and other communist hellholes.
But here we are today, gun control, producing even more underground markets.
There would be no demand for illegal guns, if not for gun control.
So here is this report put out by Miss Mariana Mitchum. Also adding their two
cents, which is about all it's worth, is Nick Soplina, whoever he is, and Chelsea
Parsons, whoever she is. Here's the executive summary. Gun trafficking is arming
lethal violence around the country. Hundreds of thousands of guns are illegally
channeled into communities where they are used in shootings and other violent crimes
that terrorize neighborhoods. Gun trafficking is not just a problem of the individuals
who move guns from legal commerce to illegal use. It's also a problem of the gun
dealers who supply these guns, listen, through their own negligence or complicity.
Did you catch that? This stupid woman and her two little cohorts,
little commie cohorts, with one broad brush, painted all gun dealers as either
negligent or complicit and illegal gun trafficking across the country.
Yeah, there was no, she added no provisos to that. Yeah, this is, this report is
designed to cast the retailers into the light of gun traffickers.
And it's done with half -truths, shaded truths, an outright bull fertilizer.
And I'm sure you're going to be able to pick it out as we go through this. She
continues, the gun industry is not blameless in the gun.
firearms. I'll get back to that a little bit later. She goes on. Despite the
significant impact of gun trafficking on public safety, the full nature of this
problem and the most effective approaches to addressing it have received little
attention. In this report, we provide a new analysis of gun trafficking.
No, it's not a new analysis. It's a new approach to demonizing gun retailers.
Anyway, she continues, including its prevalence, the primary trafficking methods and
channels used, the role of gun dealers in enabling trafficking, and the profit earned
by the gun industry from trafficked guns. We also evaluate the federal government's
role in addressing gun trafficking and the Trump administration's recent abdication of
this responsibility. Well, he's too busy trying to clean out all the scum that Joe
Biden allowed into this country, so he'll get to the gun traffickers later.
He should start at the ATF. Finally, this report offers recommendations for how state
leaders can fill this void. Well, there is no void, honey. The only void in this
issue is enforcement, which is not happening. Yes, so criminals are emboldened.
Anyway, they start making bullet points. First, gun trafficking is a significant
problem and leads to hundreds of thousands of illegal guns being channeled into
communities around the country. By the end of 2026, every town estimates,
in other words, they guess, that 1 .27 million guns will have been illegally
trafficked since 2017. Of course, they offer no actual hard data to back this up.
Second, gun trafficking fuels community violence. No, it doesn't. Drugs and gangs and
other nefarious individuals do. Data shows trafficked guns are used to arm individuals
who cannot legally purchase guns and are used in twice as many shootings as guns
that are not trafficked. The vast majority, thirdly, of guns that end up trafficked
begin as part of the inventory of a licensed gun dealer. Okay, here is more
purposeful slander by way of issuing a shaded truth. What she really is saying and
what her two Kami cohorts are saying is All of these guns stolen from gun retailers
or straw purchased from gun retailers are being trafficked and therefore we can say
by a process of their idiotic elimination that the gun dealers are at fault and
therefore they're the suppliers of all these illegal guns. You see the idiocy in
that? Guns that are stolen and trafficked usually do start out on dealer shelves,
but of course the way she's putting this crap is as if it's the fault of the gun
dealers and not the criminals who actually steal them and sell them. They also say
the top two trafficking methods are straw purchasing and unlicensed dealing.
Unlicensed dealing. That would be someone like me. You know, I've sold a few of my
private guns before, and I'm not licensed by the state or by the federal government
to do that. But I'm within my dadgum rights, and I'm also within the confines of
the law in so doing. But you remember in the Biden years, if you sold one of your
guns to
would be a you could be charged by them for unlicensed dealing.
They could also charge you with trafficking. Yeah, that was what that was going on
during the Biden years.
They said, unlicensed dealing, which both involves illegal sales from a licensed gun
dealer. What do you mean an illegal sale from a licensed gun dealer? That is almost
non -existent. A licensed dealer who has to go through all kinds of compliance checks
by the most criminal, brutal agency in America today,
they're not making illegal sales. This is a falsehood and she damn well knows it.
They account for more than half of all trafficked firearms. That is a lie.
Next, traffic firearms are big business. We estimate, in other words, every town
estimates, based on what exactly, that between 2017 and 2023,
gun dealers earned approximately $695 million from sales of trafficked firearms.
How? How did we do that? And when I say we, it's because I work for a gun
dealer. I don't think y 'all understand the margins involved with brand new firearms.
They're not that great. We definitely do not profit from gun sales on the street.
So where do you get this stuff about making almost $700 billion off of illegally
trafficked guns. Next, she says, oh, yeah,
here it is. Although the Trump administration purports to prioritize fighting crime,
they are, they are fighting crime by getting rid of a lot of the criminals, you
know, the illegal criminals, it has taken steps to severely weaken the ability of
federal law enforcement agencies to identify gun traffickers and their suppliers and
shut down trafficking pipelines. Prove it, you lying packs of crap,
state leaders can take action. This is the crux of it right here. Listen very
carefully, because at the end of this report, she's going to make recommendations
that states can do. Now, how many times have I said before, if they can't do it
federally, they'll try to do it state by state by state and shut down the industry
and then shut down gun sales and then demand that all guns be turned in and that's
going to spark the next civil war. State leaders can take action to address gun
trafficking and fill the void created by the Trump administration. There is no void
by adopting a comprehensive strategy It includes, one, using data to identify,
interrupt, and prosecute trafficking. Two, implementing robust regulatory oversight of
gun dealers. That already exists. And enacting foundational gun safety laws that deter
trafficking. Okay? Trafficking is already illegal. How many more laws do you need to
pass? Before the gun traffickers will set up and take notice and go, hey,
we're doing the wrong thing here, guys. Let's go legit.
Now, here's the introduction.
It says in 2022, six individuals launched a firearms trafficking operation that moved
guns from Mississippi to Chicago. Well, why would they move it to Chicago?
Move guns there, huh? Probably because there's a big underground market.
Now, gee, why would there be a big underground market in Chicago? Oh, yeah. Heavy
gun control in the state of Illinois produced that underground market.
Yes, right. Gun control produces more crime than it stops because,
of course, gun control cannot stop crime. It's the number one cause of illegal
markets springing up in these places. In just five transactions between April 22 and
July 2022, one of these individuals purchased approximately 23 nearly identical Glock
pistols from a single dealer, renegade firearms in Greenville,
Mississippi. These weren't casual purchases for personal use, they were textbook red
flags for trafficking, and should have been obvious to renegade.
Well, I thought that those ATF 3310 forms were supposed to help stop all that.
Yeah, every time there's more than one handguns sold during one transaction or even
over a five -day period to a single individual, dealers are required to fill out a
3310 form and sip it light speed to the ATF via email and send a copy of that
same form to their local law enforcement. Okay. So you're trying to tell me that
they're not turning into 3310 forms? Or was it that they turned into 3310 forms and
the Alpha Afatango Foxtrot did not follow up and try to look into this stuff as
potential gun trafficking. The guns were quickly trafficked north into Chicago,
where they fueled violent crime. No, communist fuel violent crime, anyway.
All told, the operation trafficked more than 60 firearms to the Chicago area,
many of which were recovered with machine gun conversion devices attached, making them
fully automatic pistols. How's that the gun dealer's fault? The six individuals were
ultimately convicted on federal charges related to gun trafficking and sentenced to
years in prison, but renegade firearms faced no consequences for its role in
supplying these traffickers and kept all profits from these illegal sales.
They did not profit from illegal sales. Whatever profit they made was from the
original sale at their establishment. There was no money coming back to them from
any other sales once they left their store. Stop telling your damned lies.
They're not supposed to face any consequences. They did nothing wrong. They reported
everything on the 3310 forms. They broke no federal laws or ATF policies.
Firearm trafficking is uniquely responsible for the violence that plagues communities
across the United States. No, it's not. No, it's not. Criminals are uniquely
responsible for that violence. It's not the guns. It's not the trafficking, it's the
criminals involved in both. Gun trafficking thrives on loopholes,
weak oversight and willful ignorance. No, it doesn't. It thrives on gun control.
It thrives on theft also, and we'll talk about that data in a few minutes. The
truism that criminals will always find a way to get guns has merit solely because
we make gun trafficking so easy. What's this we crap,
white girl? Who makes it easy? It certainly ain't we, it ain't the government,
it's not the ATF, and it's not the dealers. The dealers are following all the
protocols. What do you mean this we crap? Unlike drug trafficking,
which starts with underground labs and complex clandestined distribution networks,
gun trafficking often begins with any, I'm sorry, gun trafficking often begins at a
well -lit gun store with a handshake across a counter, paperwork, and at least the
veneer of legality. Well, I tell you what, if there was paperwork involved, it was
a legal gun sale. And what about the role that gun theft Please.
A trafficker can walk out of a legally operated business with a trunk full of
weapons. That is hyperbole and it's false, you lying little lazy communist.
And move them to buyers in nearby neighborhoods or cities far across state lines.
Those guns nearly always end up in the hands of prohibited individuals and are
disproportionately used in violent crimes, sometimes mere days later.
When we wake up to the news on Sunday morning of multiple people shot at a block
party late Saturday night, the cash from the sale of the gun used might still be
in the register of a federally licensed gun dealer. Do you see the shaded truth
here? They are trying to conflate gun dealers with illegal gun trafficking and trying
to make them both one in the same.
This is insidious. Here's the problem. People that don't have the discernment to read
through this crap, and most of them are lefties because they sacrificed the use of
reason already anyway, they're going to swallow this hook, line, and sinker. She
goes, well, unless we do something about it. Let me translate that for you. She and
her cohorts want the federal and state government to completely take over the entire
gun industry, including the retail portions thereof. Attacking gun dealers is the next
step to go into attacking the manufacturing end of the firearms industry.
Now, the actual available data counters what this little bombastic bimbo has to say.
Hundreds of thousands of guns are stolen annually in the United States and estimates
range anywhere from 200 ,000 to 380 ,000 per year, and theft from vehicles has become
the majority source of these traffic guns,
not gun dealers. This is all stuff you can find on Google, by the way.
Yes, stolen guns are what's actually fueling these underground markets.
They're fueling the trafficking. a lot of these thefts go unreported,
especially in these states that have so -called safe storage laws, because those safe
storage laws prosecute gun owners when their guns are stolen, so they don't bother
to even report it stolen anymore, and that's been happening in a lot of states. And
a very high number of these stolen firearms come from private individuals' homes and
their vehicles and stolen from gun stores, not to mention stolen from company
shipping trucks. Yeah, a lot of these professional theft rings know when these
dealers are getting these, they're getting their shipments in of guns.
A lot of times they'll time them. They'll follow that UPS guy from the,
from the dealer, a lot of times, and backtrack and find out and start doing their
homework as to when he shows up. A lot of times, it's on specific days. And
they'll rob the truck. That's happened many times. Matter of fact, there was one
where there was a shipment of AR -15s and other rifles that was stolen from a train
that was bringing them into a warehouse and would therefore distribute him from
there. So this is all crap that it's the dealer's fault.
Yeah.
And they say according to Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Center
for American Progress, this is the case. Well, to hear Middle Miss Mitchum tell it,
gun dealers are the primary source and not the criminals stealing them. So which is
to believe, which ones to be believed out of all these different reports? The ATF
says annually 266 ,000 guns are,
are stolen and trafficked. But Johns Hopkins says,
no, 380 ,000 annually. Which one is it? Matter of fact,
even lower figure from the Council of Criminal Justice says only 65 ,000 of them are
stolen and trafficked. Well, well, well, which one do you believe? It's hard to
pinpoint. Now, regardless which one you accept, it still proves that this fallacious
study is full of pasture patties, and this has nothing to do with them want to
actually cut down on gang violence, violence, gun violence, any other kind of
violence, this has something, this has everything to do with their desire to see the
states take over the oversight of gun industries in their states.
Yes, to add a double layer of oversight, not just from the criminals at the ATF,
no, they're going to create more bureaucracies to pile on top of the industry and
eventually crush it under its weight. Now,
they also cite sources for theft and trafficking,
vehicles, dealers in their houses, gun dealers and individuals' houses,
illegal diversion, stolen guns, they oftentimes will enter the illegal market via
private sales without a background check but that's really not that doesn't happen as
much as people think it is they think it always happens at gun shows but only like
0 .07 % of all crime guns actually come from gun shows so that's crap too
also you can find this online the estimating annual US gun trafficking there's no
particular perfect science for it, but a lot of the data shows that hundreds of
thousands of guns are trafficked with sources like every town projecting that data I
said a few minutes ago, 1 .27 million guns will be trafficked by the time 2026
rolls around. Really? ATF said something different because ATF and they're going from
their data using the same timeframes of 230 ,000 why that's quite a massive disparity
matter of fact that's one million 40 ,000 guns disparity how many is it well of
course they're going to inflate the numbers at every town and make it out to be an
epidemic as they often do, but that is a huge disparity.
How can you, how do you qualify that? How do you justify it? And how about instead
of targeting the lawful retailers, how about you people actually target the bad
people who are stealing and trafficking the guns? Wouldn't that be a novel approach?
No, you can't do that. You want to dry up the dealers, and it has nothing to do
with with you wanted to dry up crime. You bunch of constitution hating little
communist. Now, every town research, a report in 2024,
they estimated 930 ,000 firearms were likely trafficked between 2000,
2023, projected to pass 1 .27 million by 2026.
but how do they come to that? Hmm?
ATF, their 2024 report documented 230 ,000 trafficked firearms across over 700,
7 ,700 investigations from 2017 to 2021.
Gee, every town is only off by a mere 100 ,000 to 1 ,040 ,000.
So what's the big deal, right? They say the sources of traffic guns? Unlicensed
sellers. In other words, private sellers who have their own guns and sell them on
their own. Now, do some of these people go buy guns from dealers and then sell
them later for a profit? Yeah? And I don't care. Because the answer to violent
crime is not keeping guns from bad guy's hands because that'll never happen. The
answer to bad guys with guns is more good guys with guns than bad guys with guns.
That's how you deal with that. That's how the West was tamed, by the way.
The West was tamed by men who had iron grit and went out and hunted down desperate
men and either killed them and brought them back for a bounty or they brought them
back for a bounty and the local judges hanged them for their crimes.
They had to deal harshly with the criminal element. That's the only way to deal
with it. But these people want to deal harshly with a lawful entity,
the gun retailers.
Wow.
They say Unlicensed sellers are now the largest source of traffic firearms surpassing
licensed dealers, according to the ATF. That's a despicable lie, and it's not true.
So the study, it said the agency principally charged with doing something about it
is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and really big fires. In
recent years, ATF has adopted a smart, what, ATF and smart go together,
new approach to gun trafficking that used crime gun intelligence to cut down known
trafficking networks or shut down those networks and identify the worst of the worst
dealers. Nope, that's wrong. That's not what happened. What they did was they took
This strict guidance policy they were given that was passed down from on high from
Stevie Dettelbach, and that came from Joe Biden. Well, actually, Barack Obama, we all
know, basically told Stevie Dettelbach to go ahead and write new laws from your
agency there and enforce them without congressional oversight and shut down as many
of these dealers as you can. So this war on dealers has been going on for some
time already, and now they're trying to sanctify it with this report.
It says that combined with strict guidance policy and more dogged enforcement,
in other words, ATF thuggery, this new tack led to the shuddering of hundreds of
problematic gun dealers that had violated the law, and that's another damned lie.
What it did was shudder hundreds of lawful gun retailers over minor clerical errors.
We talked about an ad nauseum on this program, many of which had been in business
for decades and had passed many ATF inspections. Unfortunately,
the Trump administration began to unwind those efforts on day one. Well, good.
That's what needed to be done. That's right. Needed to shut down that zero -tolerance
policy. Now, of course, they say states can step into the void created by the
federal abdication and enact policies and enforcement plans that can prevent gun
trafficking from occurring. No, it can't. And hold all culpable actors to account
when it does.
Yeah. All right. Here's their ideas.
Number one. Measuring the scope and scale of gun trafficking.
And they say a gun, a trunk with over a million guns doesn't fill itself. It was
stocked by someone who purchased the guns from a licensed dealer after passing a
background check. The owners of the car aren't likely to be the ones who ultimately
pull the trigger, they're the traffickers. Without them, most crime guns would never
reach the street. I'm not sure where they got the owner of the car thing, but
listen closely now, because here it is. This is the quiet part being said out loud.
Listen closely because this is the thrust of this report. And without dealers,
traffickers would not be able to reliably arm and rearm criminals.
That is a slanderous pile of steaming, stinking bull fertilizer.
That is a lie. It is a damned lie from the pits of hell itself, and she knows
it's a lie, but yet they're propagating it out there as if it is the gospel
freaking truth. They say these guns are moved there,
step by step, by people who are breaking the law and are supplied by gun dealers,
federal firearms licensees who either knowingly or negligently turn a blind eye.
And that's another damned lie. Second, primary gun trafficking methods.
The three leading methods of gun trafficking are straw purchasing, unlicensed dealing,
and thefts from gun dealers. Okay.
How is it then? You just, with your own words, refuted your previous words by
saying that dealers are the suppliers for all of this. You're saying that,
what is it? Let me read it again. Without dealers, traffickers wouldn't be able to
reliably arm and rearm criminals. You are purposely
shadowing gun retailers and you are casting them in the light of criminals.
You are conflating them with the criminal element. You are essentially framing them
as criminals and you know you are. And I think all the gun retailers should form
an association and start suing the bloody heck out of you people when you say crap
like this because you, dadgum, well know that it's a lie. You just admitted you can
you contradict yourself in this report.
Primary trafficking methods, they say straw purchasing. Straw purchasing occurs when
someone buys a firearm for someone else, usually somebody who is prohibited from
purchasing a firearm. You know, in other words, when someone commits a crime and
lies on a 4473 purchase form, which is never the fault of the dealer.
We can't sit there and hook everybody up to a lie detector and try to tell if
they're lying or not on these forms. Said when purchasing a firearm from a licensed
gun dealer, the buyer is required to fill out and complete ATF Form 4473,
which asked the buyer if they are buying the firearm for themselves. Straw purchasers
lie on the form. No. You mean they lie kind of like ATF agents do when they're
cornered and accused of gun trafficking to Mexico? You know, like when they're called
before Congress and they sit there and lie through their freaking bloody teeth about
the fast and furious gun trafficking debacle? Wow.
But gee, I mean, that particular gun control law doesn't seem to stop bad people
from lying on purchase forms, does it? Huh? It says under federal law,
it's illegal both to buy a firearm on behalf of someone who is prohibited from
purchasing one and to lie on form 4473. But, gee, it doesn't stop bad people from
lying. How to, how can that be? Yeah. Also,
unlicensed dealing. Which means somebody selling a gun who is not licensed, which I
have done and every other bloody gun owner on the planet has done if you've ever
sold one of your guns to a friend or whatever. Yeah, back during the Biden
administration, they would come and jail you for that. Matter of fact, they might
come and kill you like they did Brian Malinowski over the same thing. None of this
crap stops bad people from getting guns, obviously.
Unlicensed gun dealing is a crime under federal law. And why? Because the federal
government is being cheated out of revenue and control. that's why.
It has nothing to do with actually, you know, curbing crime. Licensing doesn't stop
crime. All it does is inhibit law -abiding people from free to exercise and their
rights. It's also what the ATF has falsely charged many people with, including Pat
Adamiak, who's still sitting in prison serving a 20 -year sentence after a lying
piece of crap named Agent Jeffrey Bodell perjured himself and manufactured evidence,
contrived evidence, literally put his hands on some of the evidence, seized at the
Damiac's home, and crafted it so that it would function into what they desired it
to be and then charged Adamiak with owning what they created.
How do you like that? Not to mention them murdering Brian Malinowski right in front
of his wife by those filthy murderous, worthless criminals known as ATF agents,
kicked in his door, shot him in front of his wife, abused his wife right thereafter
for about five hours, and then they have yet to even put, they have yet to
announce what his crime was in the first bloody place.
Not to mention the fact the ATF is the most prolific gun trafficking agency in on
the planet. Then they say another source is stolen firearms.
Thief from gun stores is a shockingly large problem. Wait a minute. First you say
that it's the gun dealers themselves, but now you say it's the thieves stealing the
guns from the gun store you were first saying a few minutes ago that's the gun
dealers who either knowingly complicitly or negligently turned a blind eye but now
you're saying oil thefts from gun stores are a really large problem too yeah y 'all
don't know whether to scratch your watches or wind your butts do you're gonna take
take a brief commercial timeout and will continue dissecting this huge steaming pile
of crap put forth by little miss mitcham uh someone who was drafted from the ATF
after she retired and of course quite a natural fit to go work for a civilian
disarmament cartel but don't go anywhere the listener retention squads are all on
standby and we've got more to talk about here on Shooting Straight.

Let's create your musical identity. Thank you. Welcome back to the program.
I realize this is going to be quite a lengthy program. Just bear with me. I want
to get all this info out as much as possible. And the reason is because you're
going to be hearing it come from the mouths of media pundits and i want you to be
able to refute this crap this is a pretty recent report put out november 2nd and
it's going to be making the media rounds as soon as they start receiving all their
talking points from all of their communist handlers so that's the reason i'm going
to into all this crap they say okay now uh it was not just just stolen firearms
and unlicensed dealing and straw purchasing and things like that. They now want to
talk about the movement of trafficked guns. And they talk about these pipelines that
were created. And I want you to listen carefully because they tell on themselves.
And they don't put gun control in a very good light via implication. okay they say
that there were several pipelines established first the first one they call the east
coast i 95 pipeline and they say the east coast i 95 pipeline involves trafficking
guns from the source states of florida georgia north carolina pennsylvania south
carolina and Virginia to the target jurisdictions of now I'm going to name these
next states and I want you to tell me what they all have in common it won't be
difficult if you've been listening to this program for any length of time the target
states the target areas are Connecticut Delaware Maryland Massachusetts New Jersey,
New York, Rhode Island, and Washington, D .C. Gee,
what could all of those areas possibly have in common?
Oh, yes. They're all under communist rule, and they all have very strict anti
-rights, anti -Second Amendment laws. Yeah, gee, it makes far more sense to blame gun
control, if you ask me, because they're the... Gun control is what
Listen again, New York, Maryland, Washington, D .C.,
New Jersey. All from the I -95 pipeline, all headed to the burgeoning underground
markets and all the communist -occupied territories, which all have heavy gun control.
Gun control creates these markets. Gun control sustains these markets and keeps them
alive. It has nothing to do with dealers, manufacturers, or unlicensed dealers,
or anything like that. Second pipeline, the Mississippi River Pipeline.
Here we go again. Mississippi River Pipeline involves trafficking from source states
of Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, in Tennessee to the
target state of Illinois. Gee,
oh, why would they be selling guns and taking guns to Illinois to sell them? Yeah,
that's right. Heavy gun control in Illinois. If you want to buy a gun in Illinois,
you've got to pass all manner of background checks, body cavity searches, and God
knows what else, just to get permission to get the card that says you can go buy
one. Yeah.
Then there's the Southwest Pipeline. The Southwest Pipeline involves trafficking from
the source states of Arizona and Nevada to the target state of California.
You know, if it wasn't for the target state of California and Rhode Island and all
those other communist occupied territories, gun trafficking would not exist. How about
we get rid of those states instead? Better yet, how about we get rid of all the
communists in those states and all the gun control laws in those states? How about
letting the free people there, the peaceable people, the ones who are actually paying
for everything with their hardworking taxes, how about we let them be free enough to
defend themselves, and you'll see this crap dry up overnight. But you're going to
sit there and blame gun dealers, and you're going to offer all kinds of advice on
how to shut down gun trafficking by coming down hard and heavy on gun dealers.
The study continues, or the report continues.
While the majority of firearm trafficking occurs within the United States,
approximately 19 % of ATF tracking cases involved firearms that moved internationally.
Not surprisingly, Mexico is the primary destination. Well, what does Mexico have?
Oh, yeah. Heavy gun control. Oh, accounting for 72 % of international cases.
Also, Canada. Gee, what did they have in common with Mexico?
Oh, yeah. Heavy gun control. Oh, the Bahamas.
Heavy gun control. Haiti. Heavy gun control. Brazil. Heavy gun control,
although they are making very big strides and letting people arm themselves again.
But the underground market is still flourishing in Brazil. I didn't have time to
bring out the study I did on all that stuff because this thing would, this show
would be three hours long. This episode would anyway.
An estimated 200 ,000 guns are trafficked from the United States to Mexico each year.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, no need to boast about ATF accomplishments, okay? From 2022 to
2023, Mexican authorities recovered and traced 18 ,206 crime guns that originated from
U .S. gun stores, and you see the way they put this. They put it as if the gun
stores are the ones that initiated the trafficking. That is not true, and it is
slanderous by implication. More than 73 % of these crime guns were acquired in Texas,
Arizona, and California. These firearms overwhelmingly armed transnational criminal
organizations, with 82 percent recovered in cartel -dominated Mexican states.
But gee, why would there be a lot of these trafficked guns and cartel -dominated
Mexican states? Oh, yes, heavy gun control and a burgeoning underground market that's
pretty much kept alive by the cartels. In short,
U .S. gun stores are feeding both domestic gun violence and international cartel
warfare. Well, our new president is doing something about the cartel warfare.
Yeah, he's blowing their boats out of the water. And some of you all don't like
that. I don't mean my audience either. I'm talking about the Democrat Communist. I
tell you what, they're caterwauling about these people being blown up out of these
boats, but they're the same people that cheered for Carly Cherk, Charlie Kirk being
shot and murdered on live TV. Yeah.
And in both cases, traffickers are using gun dealers in source states to armed
criminals who should never have access to guns. Well, once again, you're never going
to shut off access to guns to bad people. There's always going to be a market. I
don't know if you realize this. There's a heavy market that supplies guns to
California from the Philippines. They make some pretty fine 1911s too.
They manufacture them there. They craft false, you know, bogus serial numbers on the
guns and they sell them to the people in California. But you want to blame gun
dealers here in America. Yeah. Yeah. That same lie was peddled by Barack Hussein
Obama during his first commie campaign. It was American gun dealers fueling the
Mexican violence, bull fertilizer. Then he goes to category number four. How the gun
industry profits from trafficked guns. It doesn't. It freaking doesn't. They said gun
trafficking is a big business, not just for the trafficking middlemen, middlemen,
but each trafficked firearm that ends up being used to commit deadly violent crime
provides a nice profit to the dealer who ignored the warning signs and sold the
weapon. First of all, the average margin,
profit margin on brand new guns is about 5 to 10 % maybe.
I'm talking about an average. If you're really lucky, you might get 15%. Really,
really lucky, you might get 20. That's not a huge markup, especially when retail.
If you really want to make a good profit, so you can keep your company afloat, 30
% is about the norm that you need to have. That ain't happening. That doesn't
happen. Not only that, They say it provides a nice profit to the dealer who ignored
the warning signs and sold the weapon. That is a slanderous accusation.
You are painting all dealers as people who willingly ignore red flags and signs that
something's going to be a straw purchase, and that is not freaking true. Where I
work, we've shut down several straw purchases. As a matter of fact, you come into
our store exhibiting any kind of anger or what should I say,
weird, uh,
what should I? Weird action. Your, if your demeanor is off and you're acting weird,
we're not going to sell you crap and we'll escort you out the front door. Matter
of fact, I had to pretty much do that to a Florida State trooper who come in he
came into our store and this this is no lie. I'm going to give this to you
verbatim, okay, because you're not going to believe this because you're going to
think I'm making this up and that I'm some sort of cop hater and that's simply not
true. But this Florida State trooper in full uniform driving up to our store in his
Florida state car is a his Florida State Trooper car, patrol car, walks into the
showroom, and he walks over to our displays, our Glock display, and he comes walking
up to me, and he's got a very angry look on his face.
And I thought, well, maybe he's just a sour push. I don't know. And I said, he
says, how you doing? I said, I'm fine, sir. What can I do for you? I said, how
are you? He says, I'm really effing P -Oed right now,
and I need to buy an effing gun. Those were his words verbatim.
We've got it on video and audio. And immediately, I'm looking at him like, are you
kidding me? You're messing with me, right? You're joking with me. Nope, he wasn't
joking. He said, the Glock 32. Is that chambered in 357 sig and i guess i didn't
answer quick enough for him and he barked at me he said well is it and that's
when i stood up off of my chair and i looked him full in the eye i said yes sir
it is but i'm not about to sell you a darn thing all your mannerisms and your
demeanor and your action and your tone and your words you're throwing red flags all
over the place here and I'm going to tell you right now sir you are on audio and
video and with that as soon as I said that his entire demeanor changed he spun on
his heels he says okay thank you and walked out there was no inkling that he was
kidding or anything like that yes that was a Florida state trooper so yes I made
some phone calls and I told a few people about him and his demeanor. So hopefully
they did something about him. I don't know if he was in crisis or if he was just
some sort of a bully who was used to getting his way, thought he could walk in
there and bark at me and that is the worst way in the world to try to get me to
do anything. I'm two Scots, Irish. You come at me with aggression. I will pour it
back all over you and I don't care how many badges you're wearing. So anyway, We
don't profit from trafficked guns. We only make a profit at our point of sale,
and after it leaves our store, we are no longer responsible for who does what with
it. They've gone to, they go in to talk about their point number five, recent
federal innovations to address trafficking. For decades, state and local law
enforcement have relied on ATF as a nation's lead agency and protecting communities
from firearm trafficking and reducing gun violence. And all I can say to that is,
well, I guess they really suck at their job because you're writing an entire report
here on how gun trafficking is such an epidemic. So I guess they really can't do
the job, can they? Until recently, ATF was making significant progress in targeting
gun traffickers and the dealers that supply them? No, they weren't. For example, in
June 2021, ATF announced its new zero tolerance policy. Yes, we all know all about
that and what it did. A policy under which the agency would move to revoke licenses
of gun dealers who willfully violated certain federal laws.
No, they weren't. They were minor clerical errors they were revoking their licenses
for and you're proving right now that you are happy with gun dealers lawful licensed
gun retailers being bullied by the federal government you're happy that they went
after these lawful dealers rather than going after actual criminals,
all of the criminals, responsible for gun trafficking.
I'm telling you, you're tipping your hand here, people.
The violations that would trigger revocation under this new policy included
transferring a firearm to a prohibited person, failing to run a required background
check, falsifying records, failing to respond to an ATF crime tracing request, or
refusing to permit ATF to conduct an inspection. I'm going to go out on a limb
here and
Under this policy, ATF closed the doors of gun stores that repeatedly failed to
document gun sales and facilitated straw purchases, bull fertilizer.
To effectively prevent firearm trafficking, states should adopt a comprehensive strategy
that includes, and here's where they lay out their plan that they would like to see
states implement in order to really crush gun retailers and the industry as a whole.
Number one, using data to identify and interrupt trafficking. Okay, they already do
that. Two, implementing robust regulatory oversight of gun dealers.
That already exists, but what they're talking about is making it worse via state
governments. Three, enacting foundational gun safety laws that deter trafficking.
Okay, like what? There's already laws against gun trafficking on the federal and
every, all 50 state levels. Doesn't seem to be stopping things,
is it? There's already laws that say they can't do it, but they're doing it anyway.
But it's the gun dealer's fault. We need to hold gun traffickers accountable.
Okay. That's something you can do now. Yeah, you can go after them right now. Go
find the traffickers, the real traffickers, not the dealers. And you can do that
right now. You say this as if it's not happening, but that's not true.
State policymakers should ensure that adequate criminal laws are on the books to hold
individuals accountable for gun trafficking. Well, why? We didn't hold ATF accountable.
Yeah,
there's already laws on the books in all 50 states against gun trafficking. States
should enact criminal statutes that allow those who engage in gun trafficking to be
held accountable. They already have those laws, and they already can be held
accountable. Do you see the way they say this crap? It's like it doesn't exist and
it needs to start happening. That's not true. It already does exist. B,
implement robust gun dealer oversight. Here it is.
It's more important than ever for states to fill the dangerous gaps left by a
porous federal regulatory
Yeah. Now coupled with federal leadership that is openly hostile to protective
regulation, because it doesn't work, by ensuring that gun dealers within our borders
are adequately regulated. They already are.
Indeed, state policymakers have the tools to go above and beyond what even a fully
resourced ATF could offer, using their considerable power to require physical security
measures, comprehensive record keeping, I don't know how much more comprehensive you
could get than the 4473 shit, and consistent discipline in ways that federal
regulators may not. What do you mean they may not? They're not prohibited from it
at all. You're acting like they're not allowed to do certain things. Well, and
they're not allowed to do certain things, but they do it anyway, don't they? Because
the ATF is one of the biggest criminal organizations on the planet. You're welcome.
Yeah. They speak this as if this isn't happening because the ATF is being handcuffed
somehow.
Yeah. Indeed, state policymakers have the tools to go above and beyond what even a
fully resourced ATF could offer using their considerable power to require physical
security measures. I already read that part. Sorry, reread it. Many states have been
regulating gun dealers for decades. You're right. They have. You know which states
have been doing that? Every last one of the communist occupied states,
all of the communist -controlled states, every one of them has been doing this kind
of crap. Oh, you got a federal license? Now you need a state license. All they do
is drive up prices for the consumer. And thankfully,
state gun safety leaders are actively meeting the moment, adopting gold standard
policies, establishing strong oversight and enforcing existing protections that protect
the public from the flow of illegal guns into our communities. No, they don't,
because if they did, you wouldn't be writing this stupid report. In April,
2025, every town released a report titled, The Life Saving Promise of State Gun
Dealer Licensing.
You ought to read that stupid report, as a matter of fact. It's moronic beyond
measure. How does adding licensing to these dealers in these states,
how does piling more licensing on them, how is that going to stop the gun
trafficking trade, huh?
Especially since the majority of crime guns has already been established by data that
your humble host brought out here, that gun theft is actually the primary driver and
not any kind of incident happening at a gun store.
I still can't figure it for the life of me how licensing does anything but grant
power to the state over whatever it is their licensing. Yeah.
The actual problem, people, is criminals. It's not the guns. It's not the dealers.
It's not the manufacturers. It's not a lack of enforcement. It's gun control.
and the criminals who were exploiting the underground markets that have been created
thereby. Then they want to require gun dealers to implement security measures to
prevent theft, including physically securing firearms on the business premises,
utilizing alarm and video surveillance systems, and installing security measures
designed to prevent unauthorized entry on all exterior doors and windows. I got news
for you stupid people out there, not any of my audience. I'm talking about the
morons and the civilian disarmament cartels and their sycophants. The majority,
the overwhelming majority of gun stores already have such security measures,
and yet they are still victimized by gun thieves. You're welcome.
Then they want to mandate annual background checks for all employees at all gun
stores and annual retraining re -education they might call that including how to
identify straw purchasers and other indications of trafficking for gun dealers and
their employees oh yeah yeah and they want to authorize a state agency or local law
enforcement agency to conduct regular compliance inspections of gun dealers.
In other words, they want to create another bureaucratic agency to afflict the gun
industry and make it pay for this agency that they're going to create, of course,
via heavy taxation, which will drive even more dealers out of business. That's
exactly the end game, by the way. Then they want to require gun dealers to send
records of all gun sales to state officials for retention.
No, it's not for retention. It's for registration. That's all that is for.
I guarantee you they're going to want them to do that annually. Mark my words, when
this stuff comes out, that's what they're going to want. Then they want to authorize
disciplinary action against gun dealers who will violate the law that's already
federally authorized. They want to require gun dealers to provide information to gun
buyers at the point of sale about secure storage, suicide prevention, and the risk
associated with firearm ownership. A lot of dealers already do that. They want to
establish a minimal threshold for responsible business conduct by gun dealers and here
it is allow for civil liability if their firearms cause harm they want to be able
to go after the gun dealer if a gun sold by that dealer is used by a third party
feloniously now how long do you think those dealers are going to stay in business
if they actually implement something like that. They want to require authorities to
prepare an annual report that includes information on the dealer's applications,
the inspections, and disciplinary actions, as well as an analysis of crime gun traced
data, showing patterns and trends relating to gun crimes, uh, sorry,
crime guns and trafficking. Wow. Then they say we need to enact strong gun laws
that deter trafficking. Okay, how much more of a strict gun law do you need?
There's already laws that say bad guys, you cannot traffic firearms. If you do,
we'll send you to jail. What are you going to do? Add, and we really, really mean
it this time to all those laws and enhance them that way? I hate to break it to
you, but bad guys don't give a crap about laws. That's why they're called,
wait for it, lawless.
They want to require background checks for all gun sales. What they mean is
universal background checks, which leads to registration and then confiscation,
and we know what comes on the heels of that, genocide, which I'll be talking about
the next episode, I'm going to be looking at Nigeria, what's going on there, and
how gun control is fueling that violence, okay? And by the way,
all of these UBCs, universal background checks are already in place in most of the
communist occupied territories, and yet Trafficking continues unabated in spite of
that, but yet you want more of it.
Wow.
They want to create waiting period for gun purchases. Well, that's already in place
in many states, including my home state of Florida. If you don't have that special
little card that says you're more moral than everybody else and don't have to wait
three days, it already exists in all the communist occupied territories, and does
nothing to inhibit violent crime or gun trafficking. Then they want to limit the
number of guns and individual can purchase per month. Well, that's already in place
in California, and I believe in Oregon and Washington State also. And just for,
what should I say, for the purpose of study, how about you check out the violent
crime stats for those states? How about you check out Now,
check out the efficacy of those laws in those states. See how that works out for
you.
I mean, you're saying you want to limit the number of guns and individual can
purchase per month, but yet how does that stop the underground market?
You think the bad guys are going to adhere to this crap? Oh, Ray, Ray, man, I
need to buy a gun. Come on, I need, I need a gun. I want one with no bodies on
it. Well, I'll tell you, first you got to go through background check, little
brother. Yeah, go through a background check and oh, wait, no, wait, you already
bought two guns from me earlier this month. I can't sell you no more. Law says I
can't. And if you believe that, I'll sell you a bridge in Arizona.
How about that? Yeah, over the ocean, as a matter of fact.
Gun purchase limits can help limit the bulk purchasing of guns that is typical of
many traffickers who operate as illegal unlicensed dealers and shut down this method
of trafficking. Well, you know how they're going to circumvent that? They'll go to
one store and buy one gun, go to another store, buy another gun, go to another
store, and you see the pattern, right? That's how they're going to circumvent that.
Several states have enacted laws limiting the number of guns that may be purchased
per month. And guess what? All of those states have high violent crime statistics
because they have strict gun control, which does little more than emboldened criminals
and trafficking. In the conclusion, they say gun trafficking fuels violence in
communities around the country and abroad. With an estimated 1 .27 million guns
illegally trafficked from 2017 through the end of 2026,
we're not even close to that, but you're saying these guns have already been
trafficked all the way through 2026, based on your prognostications, this is not a
small issue. It's a public safety crisis.
I'll tell you a bigger public safety crisis than that.
The COVID shot. Medical malpractice. You want me to go further and deeper?
I can do this all day long. Yeah, automobile crashes. How about fentanyl?
Yeah, one boatload of fentanyl can kill 20 ,000 Americans. How many boats does
President Trump blown up. Not enough. Yeah. Gun trafficking is also big business.
And for too long, law enforcement has turned a blind eye to the role of gun
dealers in supplying trafficked firearms. Well, probably because they know the dealers
aren't at fault. Allowing the industry to prioritize profits over safety.
The industry has a no such damned thaying, you lying pile of crap.
Perhaps the most disappointing is the fact that gun dealers could immediately
interrupt the most common forms of gun trafficking simply by paying attention to
their customers. We already do, idiot. Being vigilant about obviously suspicious sales,
we already do. And refusing to sell guns to traffickers. We already do. I don't
know any dealers says, hey, are you a trafficker? Yeah, man, I'm here to buy some
guns the traffic. Oh, okay, here. How many do you want? Yeah, I'm trying to
demonstrate that absurdity with more absurdity, as you can see.
Their failure to do so is not just a moral disappointment. It's a violation of
their obligation as federally licensed gun dealers and, in some cases, potentially
criminal. You've been making them out to be nothing but criminal throughout your
entire dead gun report.
Despite the Trump administration's tough on crime posturing, the administration has
siphoned federal law enforcement resources away from gun trafficking operations, leading
investigations, I'm sorry, leaving traffickers and the dealers who supply them
emboldened to continue this criminal Conduct. Yeah, criminal conduct.
No, what he's doing is actually deporting a large portion of the criminals and gun
traffickers. Right here, I'd love to bring on an article I read today, I think it
was from Breitbart, where they arrested an illegal alien and his son,
who were going to gun shows and buying guns one at a time from different dealers,
stuffing them into their backpack, and then walking over to a big plastic tote,
filling up the tote, and then dragged it out to their van. One of the dealers
caught sight of that and called authorities. That's right. A gun dealer initiated the
investigation that led to the bust of illegal gun trafficking.
But you're saying that the dealers are the ones that are at fault here. Yeah.
I tell you what, this is idiocy, it's lunacy, it is just another prong,
it's just another, what should I say, another front in their war against firearms,
against the citizenry who owns them, against the manufacturers who build them, and
against the retailers who sell them, because they are attacking our arms,
the source of arms for we the people at its source. And they're saying that the
source is the one that's supplying guns for the bad people. No, they're supplying
guns for the good people. And the sales to the good people grossly outnumber sales
to bad people, which is the way it should be. You want to dry up gun
repeal every last dad -gum gun control law in America today,
and it'll dry up overnight. Well, Royce, and the bad guys will come in and they'll
just buy guns without, you know, without any hesitation from good guy gun dealers.
That ain't what was happening prior to 1934. You know that, right? Yeah,
there was plenty of evil afoot back then, but that's not what was happening. As
soon as the government got involved and began to wrestle oversight of the industry
away from the citizenry, bad things began to happen, and they've gone downhill ever
dadgum since. Gun control fuels gun trafficking.
Gun control creates criminals. Gun control creates underground markets,
and the government did it all. You're welcome. Stay in contact with your
representatives. Stay armed up, stay trained up, stay stocked up, and never forget,
incoming rounds always have the right -of -way. Royce out.
You've got a country to save.
