Building an Audience
If you're going to be in the Houston area on Sunday, April 26, this sounds really fun and informative, and an altogether "different" thing to do... [More]
Also, tonight on "Stop the Threat":
Dark knight Bloomberg’s approval of Jeb and Hillary bodes ill for gun rights
Least surprising of all is Bloomberg’s stated rationale, that “Hillary and Jeb are the only two who know how to make the trains run.” It’s unsurprising because that phrase has its origin as a reference to a popular misconception on the "virtues" of Fascism as practiced by Benito Mussolini. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes Sir Michael of Bloomberg didn't get to be a billionaire by aligning himself with people who stood in the way of his ambitions.
Physician, Heal Thyself
“I can’t function as a normal human being.” [More]So my default position is going to be that you can't, either.
Sounds like this lady needs a custodian. But that's dependent on who's running the asylum...
A Big Believer
"I would totally look into that, because I'm a big believer." [More]Yeah, we know.
And how is "totally look[ing] into that" a pledge to actually do anything? Would you sign, say, a real estate contract with the guy, if you got that response to one of the terms or conditions that was a deal-breaker for you?
Wanna see what else The Donald is a big believer in?
"It's Complete Bull****"
Mike reports on NRA's Chris Cox "categorical denial," caught on video. [More]
As an aside, in the further corroboration department, I pulled a reference to the "pistol grip shotgun-like firearms" before my last GUNS piece went to publication because another credible industry source -- completely unrelated to the other sources and unaware of these developments before I raised them -- was told by the major manufacturer that their attorney had advised no sales without ATF paperwork. That was corroborated by yet another industry source who told us his calls for supplies have not been returned since late March.
Sorry to be so intentionally obscure with identifying details, but the way this works is you don't go outing confidential sources and expect to have any kind of future relationship. Those who have insights into this piece of the puzzle will see that it fits and have a pretty good idea of who some of the players I am referring to are -- and those who do not, well, stay tuned, we're working on it.
The bottom line is, you don't just take some anonymous stranger's word for things and run with it. And you put all kinds of considerations into the front end -- especially over motives and credibility of multiple sources -- before you post word one.
That's why Mike put "WE STAND BY OUR STORY" in all caps.
