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.
damn, you sure know how to make it hard. It's both. I've openly asked before if anyone had questioned the rulings of late in our favor. Just leading us on to attack when we're not expecting it kind of thing.
As for the CCW, they're a step in the right direction probably, and until someone steps up and challenges it after being popped it's better then before, right?
We've now ceded to the state the authority to license a right, which means in addition to approving it, they can deny or revoke it. In other words, this has reduced an unalienable right endowed by our Creator to a mere privilege bestowed or withheld by "The Only Ones," and we see every day on this site how flawed and capricious they can be.
Yet we have given our agenda-driven rulers the power to decide for us when and where and how they will permit us the means of defense, and by "we" I mean all of you who accede. I refuse to play, and don't cede to anyone the proxy to represent me in this.
I agree, but it is a step back in the right direction. incrementalism in our favor for a change.
and don't get me wrong, I agree 100% with what you said, but without the money to fight them in the system they made while everyone was out at the ball game or watching American false idol, well, chances are the first guy to challenge it will Just be another Wayne Fincher.
I'll do it if I feel the need and gamble. With the new wording in the Ohio law, specifically this section Sec. 9.68. (A) The individual right to keep and bear arms, being a fundamental individual right that predates the United States Constitution and Ohio Constitution, and being a constitutionally protected right in every part of Ohio, the general assembly finds the need to provide uniform laws throughout the state regulating the ownership, possession, purchase, other acquisition, transport, storage, carrying, sale, or other transfer of firearms, their components, and their ammunition. Except as specifically provided by the United States Constitution, Ohio Constitution, state law, or federal law, a person, without further license, permission, restriction, delay, or process, may own, possess, purchase, sell, transfer, transport, store, or keep any firearm, part of a firearm, its components, and its ammunition. it looks like there could be a nice challenge mounted as state laws can't trump the constitution, and they've admitted that it is a right in this section.
The question now becomes, how many in the gun community would help someone out who exercises that right, either through monetary support or voicing their opinions, or in other ways?
The sad fact is there are too many people who just want to be left alone and not ruined by the tyrants we have let run wild for decades now. Until there is outright shooting in the streets people won't get involved if they're left alone.

Is it better than before?
Before what?

Liberty is not licensed.
