Sipsey Street Irregulars: The Viscount of Connecticut helpfully suggests banning standard capacity magazines while Malloy lets slip why they really want them banned.

The Viscount of Connecticut helpfully suggests banning standard capacity magazines while Malloy lets slip why they really want them banned.

David Codrea has this interesting post at War on Guns, along with video: Malloy v Visconti.

Visonti @4:27 -- "If they wanted to do something, they could have looked at the 30-round magazine that Adam Lanza used, and just targeted that."

Well, that sure sounds "no-compromise." How helpful.

And Malloy lets slip why they want to ban standard capacity magazines:

Malloy @6:22 -- "The reality of large capacity magazines is they do allow a madman, or a disturbed individual, or someone with malice, or for that matter, someone who wants to fight against the federal government for whatever reason..."

Also, David has some comments about the Tiger Talkers.

He quotes me here and rightly sneers:

Not to mention the inconvenience!

No matter, People who won't send an email, forward a link or even install Adblock will endure indeterminately-extended real world hardships and sacrifices to save us!

And they'll do it smugly, too, with an air of amused Que sera, sera superiority, although I would be curious to know what practical and moral leadership such people have shown at averting literal hell on earth, up close and personal. Cede the entire political arena to those who would rule all, without lifting a finger? Ingenious!

Meantime, I was forwarded this story from May of this year by a reader about Dave Ragozzine, who wrote "Anyone can have a blog, who cares what the dude says(?)"

Mr. Ragozzine, it seems, scared the politicos of Connecticut for saying this on-line:

“If you really want to save your state and country, you will become disobedient and do God’s work to save this nation,” Ragozzine allegedly wrote. “We need violence, we need to take out the scumbags. Locally, Malloy needs to be taken out. He must pay in blood for the crimes he has committed against this country, this state, and the constitution. Our founders and the first 111% wouldn’t have let him last one day in office.”

These were judged to be injudicious statements by the Connecticut State Police, the story continues:

Ragozzine, of 17 Mountain View Terrace, Apt. 3, in Winchester, was arraigned Friday in Superior Court on charges of inciting injury to a person or property, a Class C felony, and second-degree threatening.

Now, as the CSP is also investigating me for the quadruple sins of making a seditious speech, smuggling forbidden magazines, writing open letters, and posting the home addresses and phone numbers of the tyrants who passed the Intolerable Act, I am sympathetic to Mr. Ragozzine's situation. I will say that my own words and actions were chosen a bit more carefully than his, but that hasn't prevented the authorities from trying to figure out how to nail my ass to Red Mike "KGB" Lawlor's barn door. Thus, as I have skin in this Connecticut game, I would be curious to know what the disposition of Mr. Ragozzine's case was.

Speaking of stealing phrases I have just stolen one from Simon Black when he states "The criminalization of existence " by our very act of living and being we have become criminals within our own country . You are in my prayers Mike all the best.; October 31, 2014 at 12:15 PM

I know its too late for some people, but its foolhardy for anyone to -not- at least consider such as an OPSEC measure before venting their spleen on the web.

After all, the enemy is listening, and will use any excuse to label you a dangerous threat and "legally" lay claim to the abrogation of your rights and your liberty.

You know, all while they label REAL acts of terrorism "workplace violence" as well as releasing REAL terrorists from gitmo to continue their evil careers.....

You must act as if the gov't that is supposed to serve you now considers you more of a threat then Nidal Hassan...... because it does.; October 31, 2014 at 6:23 PM

Anonymous said...: Mike, Ragozzine's politically connected (D) parents made most of it go away and had the case sealed. Much like they did 5yrs ago when Ragozzine was arrested for impersonating a police officer. You see, he really wants nothing more to be a jackbooted thug himself, but as low as the IQ qualifications for that job is, Dave can't make the grade. Before his latest arrests, he had a video posted online asking for donations so he could outfit his car as a "texting enforcement unit" and pull people over to issue them citations warning of the dangers of not following the state's rules.; November 1, 2014 at 9:22 AM

It is so destined to fail and fail hard, why not watch and enjoy as they eff themselves as hard as possible? And the best part: they never learn, they keep doing it. I am so glad our opposition is so stupid!; November 2, 2014 at 9:22 PM
Anonymous said...: Connecticut only seals adult criminal cases in two instances:

1. In mental health cases.
2. When the accused becomes a confidential informant.

When you consider that Ragozzine was previously busted for impersonating a cop, either instance is a good possibility.; November 10, 2014 at 1:32 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
