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 guess by your statement that you support the increasing police state in which we are living. Why are you on this site then? Is it to learn about opposing viewpoints? If so, then why post such an antagonistic opinion which is totally without merit?
Bronze--thanks so much for adding intelligence to the debate. Speaking of loons, you're the guy who wrote me and asked me to remove you from my blogroll because you didn't want to be associated with a website that appeared "anti law enforcement"--great--an "Only One" statist gungrabber from Sacramento calling Constitutionalists loons. Newsflash: the link was only there as a courtesy to reciprocate your putting WarOnGuns up first. And if you don't want to be associated, then don't be. Get lost.
Stan--I don't make the FEC rules, but as long as they're in play and everyone must abide by them, how is the expense of the debate not an in kind contribution to the other candidates in re publicity for their preferred candidates? It's not an editorial or entertainment program, it is news, or at least it is postured to be. Fox is a for-profit corporation relying on public airwaves for satellite transmissions and deals with cable companies contracting with municipalities for cable exclusivity. And they're using the inordinate power that privilege affords them to manipulate federal election results. That's the issue.
With that as background, I merely asked a question. Whether it's the way things should be is another debate.
"People" like thebronze are the reason that thinking people are no longer under the mistaken impression that cops are anything other than the enforcement arm of the police-state/tyranny that is killing America. He and his ilk are traitors, pure and simple.

Because he's a f*cking loon, that's why.
And anyone that supports him is a loon, too.

So all of the sudden when political campaigns are involved, property rights, free speech are somehow inferior to equal time of candidates.
Fox may be morally in the wrong, but you of all people surprise me, questioning its legality without further comment.

anyone surprised at his comments?
someone working security for a garbage dump or sewage treatment plant uses a photo of an evil alien that bears the phrase " to punish and enslave"
Makes me want to go grease some fault lines and hope I can watch him sail off towards a more appropriate country...China.
David,
You're right. I won't make the mistake of reading your blog again.
BTW, don't look under your bed, there's bound to be a conspiracy there.
You are a bunch of loons...
