You also don't know the blogger. I do. His name is
Mike Vanderboegh who, along with
Link Removed, broke the Fast & Furious government-sponsored gun-running scandal. He and Codrea (whom I don't know personally, but have followed his blog religiously since learning of his connection to Mike a couple of years ago) have many connections inside many LE agencies and legislatures, and Mike didn't paraphrase, didn't casually relate what was said to him via email, he
quoted it. Of course he's not going to name his sources within the CT State Police! Are you kidding? You honestly believe that someone who works his sources to the point of exposing the Attorney General of the United States as a freakin' gun-runner for Mexican gangs should only be believed if he names his sources? Nixon would have served both his terms to completion under such a ridiculously restrictive journalistic standard.
Here's his blog-post where he quoted his sources. You may or may not know what led up to it. He's been making it quite uncomfortable for the tyrants in your neighbor-state. He was ahead of the curve in seeing what would happen when CT's Intolerable Act went into effect. He knew that a large percentage of owners of banned weapons would neither register them under the grandfather clause, or turn them in under the clauses that provided no grandfathering. Mike says it's about 85% of said gun-owners who have not complied. The two links in the post to which you originally replied put the percentage at 96%. Either way, CT is well into the 300K to 400K of citizens who have refused to comply. Mike, though not being particularly kind in his admonishments, has been completely honest with the state tyrants that they are asking for a war. Everything at this juncture points to the tyrants finally realizing the truth of Mike's warnings, as they have so far not lifted a finger to arrest a single soul, even though they have a list of over 200 who got their registration applications in late who all submitted
sworn and Notarized affidavits replete with serial numbers, addresses and contact info attesting to their ownership and possession of banned weapons/magazines.
I've known Mike casually for several years. We're not friends per se, but we've met and conversed at various political events many times. If you find proof of him ever being caught in a publicly-made lie, post it up and I'll review it and
maybe consider your calling BS on his quotes as having a foundation. For the time being though, I'll take the word of a man whom I know to be a tireless fighter for the rights of all Americans over your knee-jerk accusations just because of some impossible-to-attain standard of sourcing for a citizen-journalist whom you may not have ever heard of.
