A reader forwarded this little jewel: Apparently, there is Massive Non-Compliance on Rifle and Hi-Cap Mag Registration in CT. The Truth About Guns reports.

And the same report estimated well over 1 million LCMs in CT back in early 2011.”

A Reader sent this link in: Scientist exposes flu shot lies and media propaganda. HJL adds: I do not know what the author’s qualifications are to make claims like what are made in this video. However, I wanted to give this to our readers because the video has an excellent explanation of risk assessment.

Caveat emptor! (Let the buyer beware!)
