It's not what you know, it's who ya know. Now we know why Hogg put off a decision on college until after the media circus. So who's paying for it?

Just Because...

Theft Under Color of Law

In Vermont two kids planned a school shooting spree but where found out before they could carry it out. One of the kids had planned to steal a relative's firearms to carry out the spree. The local police used Vermont's Red Flag law to seize the relative's guns when the kids had been identified and were in custody. The relative wasn't a co-conspirator. His guns were not a threat to anyone. The kids were in custody. Is this the abuse gun owners can come to expect from police and anti-gun bigots in the future? Yeah, I know. Dumb question. Mikey Bloomberg's The Trace considers this a sucess so the question answers itself. This is theft under color of law.

In Plain Sight and Dead Letter by Dan Willis

PIs and magic in 1930s New York City. It's pretty good detective noir with a rational system of magic factored in. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series. Highly Recommended.

[UPDATE] Note: It looks like the only way to get Dead Letter is buy In Plain Sight and give it a review. Willis will then email you the novella. It's well worth a few minutes of your time.

The point is that the "right" people...

...would still be able to afford firearms and the insurance. The fact that the rest of us wouldn't is a feature.

NY Bill Would Require Gun Owners to Carry $1M Insurance Policies

It's gun control from the flank.

The Bump Stock Ban is in Effect...

...and it's already being challenged in Federal Court.

Good.

Wildfire by Kurt Schlicter

The third Kelly Turnbull novel takes our hero to the People's Republic, Germany, then back to the People's Republic in an attempt to thwart a Jihadi bioterror plot against the blue states. The details you'll have to find out for yourself. Like his previous books this one is highly recommended. Go buy it and enjoy.

It can, and if the Socialists Communists Progressives have their way, it will.

It's What they Do...

14-year-old fires on police, kills himself at middle school; tipster praised for reporting threat, likely saving lives

Good work by the tipster and the police. No one was hurt, but the shooter, who killed himself.
What do we get from the Brady Bunch?
Apparently, our young potential mass murderer is a victim of gun violence.

Except, most people know the difference and once again the Brady Bunch beclowns themselves.
