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.
I'm assuming that law enforcement officers currently enjoy an exemption from the existing law. Ergo, if they want to vette the new bill for acceptability from their viewpoint, which they have no right to do, let's just say that in the interest of cooperation, they get to confer with and approve/disapprove the new bill. It should be made clear to them, that if their opposition to the new bill is based on valid concerns and those concerns are instrumental in defeating the new bill, the exemption they enjoy under existing law will be rescinded also. Could we do less if we agree with them,in keeping, of course, with their valid concerns? motorists just like cops want just as much "to go home at the end of the day".
Any law enforecement officer who does not approach every situation, from a traffic stop to a domestic disturbance call, as if it were potentially deadly. Needs retraining or shouldn'y be doing this job.

Take away their exemption and monopoly on force many of them won't be.

"Officer safety would also be jeopardized by a suspect's ability to just grab a handgun and pull the trigger while stopped by police."
ok, now this new law will suddenly change a criminals behavior?
The criminals probably did not pay any attention to the old law...
