Hot Tips Will Go Cold

I've got obligations over the next few days that will preclude blog posts aside from announcements for my articles. Please hold off on all news tips and links until Monday. If I get any, I most likely won't be able to do anything with them and it will be a wasted effort on your part.

I'll be shutting down comments for a couple days as well.

Sorry, but meatspace calls.

It’s Getting Harder for Democrats to Deny They’re the Party of Flat-Out Citizen Disarmament

But what about so-called “pro-gun Democrats”? I maintain there is no such thing. Sure, you’ll get politicians in hunting country who appeal to the sport shooter crowd and have to vote a certain way in order to get elected—the Party allows for that so it can increase its power and influence and advance other agenda items. But when you get right down to it, not a one of them will oppose a nominee like Obama or Hillary for president or Sotomayor or Kagan for the Supreme Court, they all support the cultural terraforming of the country in order to gain Democrat voters, and they’ll even betray constituents on guns when it suits their purposes.

Sure, there's no shortage of Republican squishes and even outright enemies, but the ones ready to go for the end game now all have a "D" after their names.

DAVID HOGG REDDIT POST CELEBRATES MOSQUITOES KILLING “BILLIONS” OF HUMANS [More]

Because his demeanor has made his public persona so detestable to so many, there's a lot of wishful thinking fake stuff being put out there about this kid. This one looks like a bit more verification went into it, but I still suggest caution.

It's one of those things that's worth mentioning in the hopes that those with adequate investigative resources will use them.

We're the Only Ones Framing Enough

Journalist Michael Picard was illegally detained for lawfully open carrying and filming police on public property. During the illegal detainment, Connecticut state troopers confiscated his phone However, the trooper who took the phone went on to make a critical mistake when he and another officer began to make up stories on ways to frame him even after they admitted to each other that he did nothing wrong from a legal standpoint.

Every damn one is a Democrat.

Subversive sissy Cicilline's been whoring for media attention on this for years. FWIW, this piece of treason still only has a 1% chance.

Not to say the next exploitation of the right "gun-free zone" couldn't bring a stampede or panicked "moderate" Republicans over...

Preemptive Surrenderers

ANJRPC has received reports of gun owners abandoning their (currently still legal) 15-round magazines at gun stores and other venues, under the mistaken belief that their property has been banned under A2761 - legislation that would prohibit magazines that hold over 10 rounds of ammunition. But the bill has not been signed into law yet - it has only passed in one house of the legislature. [More]

I figure if the requisite number of gun owners gave a damn, the building wouldn't be able to hold them all.  As is, my bet would be only a relative handful will even send an email.

And all the Supreme Court has to do is nothing.

I looked at the soft, well-heeled "trustees" and can't help but wonder if proximity to Chicago may someday lead to a readjustment of attitude along with the realization that it's too late and they have only themselves to blame.
