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.
"According to the Hamilton County Sheriff's office, Maryland Zipfel was sitting in her living room at her home, 7029 Gaines Road, when a bullet from a .45 Colt semiautomatic revolver grazed her head."
Semiautomatic revolver? I wasn't aware Colt had one of those...
The gun isn't made by Colt, the caliber is .45 Colt. The gun itself is a Holland & Holland, the same company that made Elmer Fudd's double-barrel, semi-auto, pump-action, 8 gauge shotgun-rifle.
"Imagine, if you will; a world where inanimate objects are blamed for wrong-doing while their operators are uncharged."
Woman shot by bullet! The bullet came from a gun! It was propelled by the gunpowder! The gunpowder was ignited by the primer! The primer was struck by the firing pin!
It's like a crappy murder mystery! Nowhere does it mention that a human pulled the trigger. Can't blame the negligent owner, no, it was the gun's fault! It's like the gun was a untrained animal that attacked someone!

Now do you remember?
Shame on Mr. Zipfel. He hasn't helped responsible firearms owners a damn bit.
This article is like a twilight zone thing.

It's so idiotic!
All I want for Christmas is a semi-automatic revolver. If I can't have that, I'll take a full automatic revolver....like Elmer
fudd's.
