(Screenshot courtesy Arkansas Office of the Attorney General.) by Lee Williams Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin is the top law enforcement officer in the state, and he is ultimately responsible for safeguarding the lives and civil rights of the more than 3.5 million Arkansans who call The Natural State home. After the ATF shot and killed 53-year-old airport executive Bryan Malinowski in his home during a botched SWAT raid, Griffin had questions about the ATF ..read more

(Photo courtesy ATF Facebook page.) by Lee Williams Arkansas Republican Senators Tom Cotton and John Boozman are pushing for answers about ATF’s March 19th SWAT raid, during which Little Rock Airport executive Bryan Malinowski was shot and killed in his own home. “The Department of Justice confirmed to us last night that the ATF agents involved in the execution of a search warrant of the home of Bryan Malinowski weren’t wearing body cameras. We will continue to press the Department to explain how this violation of its own policy could’ve happened and to disclose the full circumstances of th ..read more

Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin has questions for ATF officials about their fatal March 19 SWAT raid, which killed Brian Malinowski in his home. (Photo courtesy Arkansas Office of Attorney General.) by Lee Williams Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin has serious questions for ATF officials about their botched March 19 SWAT team raid, which killed Little Rock Airport executive director, Bryan Malinowski, in his home. And if ATF has bodycam footage of the fatal raid, Griffin wants to see that, too. “As someone who couldn’t be a bigger law enforcement supporter, when our government act ..read more

(Screenshot from Bryan Malinowski’s doorbell camera, which shows an ATF agent with a ballistic shield who is about to cover the camera with tape.) by Lee Williams The ATF went to Bryan Malinowski’s West Little Rock home last month spoiling for a gunfight, and they got one. Now, a good man is dead — the latest victim of ATF’s overly aggressive tactics and complete disregard for the sanctity of human life. ATF has yet to comment officially on the March 19 killing, other to claim Malinowski fired first. But Malinowski’s family recently released a statement, which confirms what everyone already ..read more

(Photo courtesy of the Glendale Shooting Club.) by Lee Williams During its heyday, the Glendale Shooting Club located near Robertsville, Missouri, was home to shotgun, silhouette, high-power rifle, handgun and Cowboy Action shooters. It hosted regular matches, including the Bauer Brothers Cup, and had around 400 active members. Today, the clay shooting is long gone as are the matches, and the members — only around 140 remain — are writing personal checks to subsidize a convoluted and confusing legal fight that began 40 ..read more

(Photo-illustration from licensed Shutterstock account.) By Lee Williams The California-based nonprofit 97Percent took its name from a debunked Quinnipiac poll that claimed 97% of Americans supported mandatory background checks. The group calls the remaining 3-percent “loud voices who have crowded out conversation and prevented collaboration between gun owners and non-gun owners.” 97Percent never addresses the problems associated with polling gun owners, including their unwillingness to tell strangers there are firearms in their homes — especially over the phone. Instead, 97Percent says it f ..read more

(SAF file photo courtesy ATF Facebook page.) by Lee Williams Bryan Malinowski, the 53-year-old executive director of the Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, died two days after exchanging gunfire with ATF agents who raided his home at 6 a.m. Tuesday morning. His death raises questions about whether he knew he was trading gunfire with federal agents, or if he thought their no-knock raid was a home invasion. Malinowski’s family cannot understand what led to the gunfight and believes other less-lethal tactics should have been incorporated into ATF’s arrest strategy. “The ATF bur ..read more

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives national headquarters. (Photo from licensed Shutterstock account.) by Lee Williams Senior ATF officials must have noticed Joe Biden’s shockingly low poll numbers and realized that their war against law-abiding American gun owners will soon be lost. Now, the ATF is taking steps to clean house as much as possible and get rid of any proof that they violated the civil rights of millions of Americans, before they’re hauled in front of congressional committees to answer for their rampant misconduct.   After years of waiting, the ATF suddenly ..read more

(Photo-illustration from licensed Shutterstock account.) by Lee Williams Children unintentionally shot and killed more than 157 people last year and wounded more than 270, or so Everytown for Gun Safety would have you believe. NBC News was the first media outlet to lap up this fake-news story. “The children who pulled the trigger were most often teenagers ages 14 to 17 or children ages 5 and under, according to Everytown’s data, which is compiled from media reports,” the NBC News story claims. Therein lies the problem: Everytown’s data is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle. It i ..read more

(Photo-illustration from licensed Shutterstock account.) by Lee Williams FBI Director Christopher Wray must be frustrated. He issued one of the strongest terrorism warnings earlier this week, but few seemed to notice and even fewer seemed to care. Instead, the legacy media remained fixated on the testimony of former special counsel Robert K. Hur, who concluded that Joe Biden committed multiple federal crimes but was too incompetent to stand trial. While Hur’s findings were certainly newsworthy, they were not news. Most of the country already knew Old Yeller’s best days are behind him. Wray’s ..read more
