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.
Protesters stood in silence for three minutes to honor the victims of the shootings. The three minutes represented the length of time it took gunman Seung-Hui Cho to be approved for his guns.
Here in Illinois, we still have the ridiculous, 3-day waiting period. If they did the protest here, would they have to stand still for 3 days?
It is sort of reminiscent of the zombie movies, except that the zombies have a purpose.
With regards to the poster from Illinois, that's a great point. Technically they'd have to stand for over a month given Virginia's one-gun-a-month policy and Cho's noted compliance with it.
Oh, and what's with this 3 minute thing. Even back when I could buy guns from a kitchen table dealer it took longer than 3 flippin minutes. Well, ok before NICS it could take 5-10, what with filling out the 4473, checking the firearm out, gathering mags, box, etc...
However, I don't hink I have EVER been able to acquire a gun in 3 minutes.
"protesting that months after the VT shooting nothing has been done about the nations gun laws"
Sounds like a good reason to protest to me: months later I'm still sitting in a university office while my pistol is locked in my car, an unfortunate distance away.
When can we get those 'gun laws' changed to remove this criminal protection zone?

Or were they talking about something else?
