Advisers Propose That #Trump Give #SecurityClearances Without #FBI Vetting
A memo circulating among at least half a dozen advisers to Trump recommends that if he is elected, he bypass traditional #BackgroundChecks by #law enforcement & immediately grant security clearances to a large number of his appointees giving them access to #classified secrets.
The proposal is being promoted by a group including #BorisEpshteyn.

“They are, 1, trying to normalize the presence of military grade hardware in our society,” Bates said.”That’s why you see things like #OpenCarry. & 2, they are trying to militarize #politics. That’s what this is about, & you cannot have a functioning #democracy at the barrel of a #gun.”
#Republican #BeGole also said the bill would help halt future #legislation limiting gun use. Last yr, #Michigan passed 4 major #laws to limit #GunAccess, incl’g requirements for #SafeStorage & #BackgroundChecks.

CW: The article contains disturbing child abuse, resulting in death. #TriggerWarning.
The placement was approved by both #BritishColumbia Ministry of #Children & Family Development & the family service’s department of the boy’s First Nation, but the report says the ministry did not complete #BackgroundChecks or visit the home before the siblings were moved there.
Charlesworth said the lack of communication, #DueDiligence & #DueProcess would “prove to be a massive error” because those in charge of the boy’s safety could have learned the woman had prior involvement with the ministry over physical #abuse of her child & there were documented concerns about her partner’s “conduct with children.”

Note on #Rahimi:
#ClarenceThomas wrote the majority in NYSRPA v. #Bruen & was the sole dissent in today’s decision.
Bruen’s ruled a #NewYork #law was unconstitutional & that carrying a gun in public was a constitutional right guaranteed by #2A.
#SCOTUS said states are allowed to enforce "#ShallIssue" permitting, where #ConcealedCarry applicants must satisfy criteria, like #BackgroundChecks, but "#MayIssue" systems using "arbitrary" evaluations by local authorities are unconstitutional.

A federal judge has blocked the Biden administration from enforcing a new rule in Texas that would require firearms dealers to run background checks on buyers at gun shows or other places outside brick-and-mortar stores.

The rule now explicitly lists the types of commercial activities that indicate whether a person should become a federally #licensed dealer & thus be required to run a background check; prevents people from evading the licensing & #BackgroundChecks requirements by claiming that they are just selling a few #guns, acc/to the WH; & prevents people from falsely claiming that guns are part of a personal collection & exempt a seller from running a background check on a buyer.

The admin rolled out the proposed rule in Sept 2023, taking in over 300k comments from the public.
Prior to the passage of the Bipartisan #SaferCommunities Act, those "engaged in the business" of #firearms dealer were required to #register to become a federally #licensed firearm dealer, acc/to the language previously used. The definition that #ATF is implementing on Thurs is more specific to better #regulate the market in accordance w/the new federal #law, acc/to the WH.
