‘MERICA: FOIA Request Confirms Zero Standard Capacity Magazines Turned In to NJ State Police.
When New Jersey passed a law making these magazines illegal in 2018, there was a debate on whether the gun owners of the state would hand in their magazines. When the law went into effect at the end of last year, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and Attorney General Gurbir Grewal celebrated it as a victory against gun rights advocates.
AmmoLand news reached out to departments across the Garden State and the New Jersey State Police to see how many magazines were turned in for destruction. Local departments were quick to confirm that they did not receive any magazines turned in by the citizens of New Jersey. The State Police would not comment on the record on the number of magazines turned in by residents.
Their silence speaks volumes.

LABORATORY OF DEMOCRACY: California city begins universal basic income experiment.
The city of Stockton, Calif., has begun piloting a universal basic income (UBI) program for 130 residents over the next 18 months, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Under the program, the recipients will receive $500 a month with no conditions such as work or sobriety requirements, according to the Times. The organizers of the project have kept the identities of the beneficiaries secret.
The first payments under the program were distributed on credit cards in February, with organizers soon able to collect data on how it was spent from a subgroup of “storytellers” among the recipients, according to the Times. While final results will not be available for the next few years, the program’s backers hope to be able to illustrate its progress with individual anecdotes as the data take shape, according to the newspaper.
That seems like maybe not the most accurate way to collect data.
BREAKING: Sol Pais Dead: Massive Colorado Manhunt Over.
She is dead from possible self-inflicted wounds, according to a law enforcement source at a command post in Clear Creek County. The FBI tweeted “THERE IS NO LONGER A THREAT TO THE COMMUNITY.”
The 18-year-old female suspect was on the run after after making threats that led to the closure of school for more than half a million students on Colorado’s Front Range Wednesday.
“I’m deeply grateful for the support of the Denver metro area superintendents and other state leaders. While Jeffco was the epicenter of this threat, it extended across the whole metro area and affected us all,” Jefferson County School Superintendent Jason Glass said.
We’ve been on pins and needles on the Front Range, even 45 minutes south of Columbine here on Monument Hill. Our local school district didn’t close today, but they did announce “security measures” this morning. They correctly declined to mention what those might be.
I won’t celebrate the apparent suicide of a troubled person, but I will take some small relief in that she took her troubles out on herself, rather than on a bunch of high schoolers.

OH, CANADA! United Conservative Party Wins Alberta Election, Sweep Socialists From Power To Form MAJORITY Government.
FLASHBACK: If Jason Kenney wins Trudeau may be in for a headache, experts warn.
Kenney has publicly attacked Trudeau’s Liberals numerous times over issues such as pipelines and the federally imposed carbon tax. He has even vowed a legal challenge of the tax if elected.
“Carbon tax is going to be an issue in the October election and we are seeing that on display in the Alberta election,” Andrew McDougall, a lecturer of political science at the University of Toronto Scarborough, said. “Right now we have court cases launching against the federal carbon tax. And I think this something the government will have to deal with.”
I’d love to see Ottawa forced to pursue sane energy policy.
GO FUND ME: Seventh District Baptist Church Fires St Landry.
Three historically black churches have burned in less than two weeks in one south Louisiana parish, where officials said they had found “suspicious elements” in each case. The officials have not ruled out the possibility of arson, or the possibility that the fires are related.
“There is clearly something happening in this community,” State Fire Marshal H. Browning said in a statement on Thursday.
The Seventh District Baptist Association lead by President Freddie Jack, is comprised of approximately 60 Baptist churches from seven parishes in Southwest Louisiana, which includes the three churches affected by the recent fires. The District meets on a quarterly and annual basis emphasizing Christian Education, Evangelism, Discipleship and fellowship in the Body of Christ.
The District’s annual session is held the first week in June where we celebrate our legacy and plan continual ministry events to reach the lost and edify the Saints. The District will be holding its 149th Annual Session in Lake Charles, Louisiana the week of June 2nd.
President Jack requested that a Go Fund Me campaign be initiated to show our support for our church families and the communities affected. We are unequivocally committed to aiding our Sister Churches. The donations received are earmarked specifically for the Seventh District’s member churches – St. Mary Baptist Church, Greater Union Baptist Church and Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church.
They’ve already raised just over a million dollars towards the $1.8 million goal.
CHRISTIAN TOTO: Hollywood Declares War on Ailes, Fox News?
Matt Lauer’s decades-long career came to a screeching halt thanks to the #MeToo movement.
The same is true of venerable news man Charlie Rose.
Hollywood has shown little interest in either tale. The epic fall of Roger Ailes, a fellow #MeToo casualty, is another matter.
Why? Do you even need to ask?
Heh — no.

Less than a month ago, conservative Judge Brian Hagedorn was a dead man walking.
As he raced against liberal Judge Lisa Neubauer for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the local press portrayed him as an anti-gay extremist and bigot. They called out the Christian school he founded for its code of conduct stipulating “no sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman.”
Never mind that this code of conduct is common practice at private religious schools across the country.
The Democrats seized on the moment. Outside money poured in from groups like Planned Parenthood and former Attorney General Eric Holder’s National Democratic Redistricting Committee, funding ads that portrayed Hagedorn as a radical. Meanwhile, Hagedorn’s biggest donor, the Wisconsin Realtors Association, demanded he return their contribution because his beliefs conflicted with the values of its members. Other traditional GOP corporate donors like the Chamber of Commerce ghosted him.
That’s when things got interesting.
Indeed™. Read the whole thing™.
OH NO: SpaceX Falcon Heavy center core stuck the landing before sliding into the abyss. “The Falcon Heavy center core successful landed on the drone barge out in the ocean, but on the trip back to Florida the barge ran into heavy seas, and the rocket fell over and slid into the ocean abyss. SpaceX said that the rough seas with swells from eight to ten feet made the booster begin to shift on the platform and it was unable to remain upright.”
The story notes that the recovery team was unable to secure the rocket to the platform, but it doesn’t say why.
