This is a placeholder for now because I have not had ads on this blog for years. In case I ever start up again, this will be the policy in effect:
The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don't think we're getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you're stupid, too. I have had a few ads on this site in the past and may do so again if I think it's worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn't buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don't mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now--you're not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer.
About "The Only Ones"
The purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it's also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they're involved in gun-related incidents.
Comment House Rules
Keep them on topic. No spam. No threats against anyone except me. Do not feed trolls--I'll take out the trash. Try to keep it clean. I'm the final arbiter. If you don't like the rules, start your own damn blog.
Link Policy
WarOnGuns reciprocates links with liberty-oriented sites promoting the right to keep and bear arms for all peaceable individuals. If you have linked to me and don't see your site below, it's probably just because I haven't noticed it yet. Shoot me an email via the "Contact Form" (see above in this sidebar) if you want to fix that.
As a general rule I remove links for blogs that have been inactive for over one year.
Markie Marxist sez: "It's not important for my Marxist amigos in the media to have any technical understanding of guns. It's not the kind of ignorance they get fired for. However, not having a politically correct according to Marxist values understanding of guns will get them booted right out the door and render them unemployable in the field to boot! Technical correctness is irrelevant, but political correctness is vital to continued employment. So, the FN Five-Seven is a cop-killer, assault weapon that shoots armor piercing bullets - or you're fired!" "Particular guns are whatever we Marxists politically need them to be. Any journalist knows that. The ones who didn't are now called janitors."
A happier note: Beltway "Sniper" John Allen Muhammad will be executed tonight by injection. The governor of Virginia has refused to grant him a reprieve.
12 victims, a reign of terror, an AR-15 semi-auto used for one shot on each victim. Semi-autos are still legal here in Virginia and will stay that way. What difference does it make what weapon was used? Had Muhammad and partner Malvo simply run over their victims with their sedan, they'd be just as dead.
I knew a 55-year-old reported and columnist, a journailst for over 35 years, who did not know the difference between semi- and full-auto. His beat for a couple of decades was city police and crime. The fix is in.
The use of the FN Five-seveN may have actually saved lives. The small 40 gr. bullet leaves a small wound channel and would normally pass thru a body with little damage unless it hits a major vital organ. A 45 ACP on the other hand probably would have increased the fatality level due to the massive tissue damage caused by this old fashioned type round. We all know the media confuses the launcher with the projectile and tends to label the launcher with all the negatives. Armor piercing ammo ( had he been able to get it) probably would have reduced the death toll even more. Food for thought Paul in Texas

Here's an interesting read on Fort Hood. Good to know that at least one person knows what they're talking about with respect to firearms, at least:

That sounds like you're saying Howard, Kurt and Dave don't, Anon...
