Advertising Disclosure
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.

If gun buy-backs made any sense there would be a national system. Call a toll free number and they'd send a shipping label with instructions. They'd mail a check within 30 days of receipt of the gun.
But these ridiculous, feel-good, buy-back rites to exorcise the evil, gun demons are only carried out in backward localities where the voodoo of gun control is the local religion. The only thing missing from this story is that pot-bellied witchdoctor, though I'm sure he'll put in an appearance at some point.
Well, they had one in Sarasota yesterday, but I was unable to make it. I wanted to film the whole thing then shame them when I also filmed me taking the $250 for an "assault rifle in cosmetics only" (see here) .22lr and purchasing a new .22lr rifle for my 5 year old daughter.
In pink.
Of course, I'm amazed that they can buy back stuff they never owned in the first place.
Saturday's take included an array of firepower ranging from rifles and shotguns to revolvers, pistols, semiautomatic handguns, a sawed-off shotgun and a retooled, .38-caliber Army Colt from the late 19th century.
Hmmm...I wonder what the batmen would have to say given that "Private individuals and foundations fund the annual grassroots effort to get guns off the streets. " Curious how trading money for a possibly stolen item is kosher given the laws...is it just because it's an ex only one?
Soooo, given that it's good enough for them...anyone in Ohio want to organize a private gun buy back?
That "national gun buyback system" is a good idea. We should find an FFL (or a few) who is willing to do that. We can promote it locally via the newspapers, since they eat that stuff up. Then the FFL can use the profits from selling their "bought-back" guns to support introducing children to shooting sports. Basically, instead of calling it a fund raiser, we call it a buyback.
