DID I CALL IT, OR WHAT? EXCEPT FOR THAT WHOLE NOT READING THE ENTIRE ARTICLE THING . . .

Yesterday, in my Guns 'n' RKBA Round-Up, I mentioned a story which reported that, "On the eve of a crucial vote to reinstate a law allowing more people to carry guns in public, [Minnesota] House members received e-mails threatening harassment and blackmail if they voted against the bill Wednesday."  I commented: "Almost makes you wonder if it's the work of an agent provocateur."

Apparently, it was.  In fact, the article to which I linked explicitly said that the incident "appeared to be a hoax."  D'oh!  Matt at TriggerFinger was all over it.  (Matt does very good work; if you have any interest in RKBA issues, you certainly should check out his blog.)

Well, anyway, that makes sense.  If law-abiding gun owners won't play into the wild-eyed, bloodthirsty crazies stereotype that the anti-gunners propagate -- and they hardly ever do -- well, shucks, why not give them a little help?
