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.
DAYUM, what puerile little children! And I'll bet these cretins are screening their comments, as the only two comments up are as anti-gun as their chicken-hearted screed.
If my logic is unmanly/unintelligent, then refute it.
Although there are a lot of reasons why having guns on a campus is dangerous, the worst is that it will inevitably lead to an arms race: If students carry handguns, then the bad guys will just get bigger guns, and then you will be lobbying for automatic weapons for students- it will never end.
(And Mr. Carpenter- that actually was really funny. Stupid Google Ads...)
Mr Levin, First of all, horsecrap. There will not be an arms race. We don't see an arms race where firearms are currently allowed. Besides, I don't really care how large of a firearm a bad guy wants to carry. The larger they are the heavier and more difficult to control they are.
Secondly, according to the law of the land (the U.S. that is) students ought to be allowed access to automatic weapons. They fit into the category of "unorganized militia" after all.
Gun free zones do nothing but disarm the law abiding. Refute that.
Any other arguments that you need are available right here on this here website. Why don't you do a wee bit of research your ownself. We have refuted your position time and time again.
Mr. Levin, I haven't enough respect for you to bother reinventing the English language so you will understand.
If you have reached the age to attend college and remain as ignorant and arrogant as you have you are beyond salvage.
You will forever be a little unman.
I won't call a nonman, because children and women are nonmen, you are just unman.
If you have proof of your assertions, you prove up. We have already done so. You and your weak sisters make hysterical claims bolstered only by emotion. Immature emotion.
I do not expect you will try to provide fact to back up your false assertions because I think you already know you will discover fact that will take you out of your little girl comfort zone.
Go ahead, prove what you said is true. We have spent years proving undeniably what we say is true. It is your turn, weenie.
Translation: "We are poor little lambs who have lost our way, baa baa baa..."
{sigh} You have to understand: These people actually believe that UPD ("gun control") laws minimize deaths, and that a magic charm keeps polar bears away.
I observe that with great care Mr. Shapiro doesn't include himself in his cited examples of negligent behavior; he never gives a specific reason that he should stay disarmed; he never explicitly says "Disarm me". Could this mean that he doesn't feel he should be disarmed -- it's all those other untrustworthy people who should stay disarmed? If so, then what excludes him from that category?
Mr. Levin,
> Although there are a lot of reasons why having guns on a campus is dangerous, the worst is that it will inevitably lead to an arms race: If students carry handguns, then the bad guys will just get bigger guns,
Speaking of that, has it entirely escaped your penetrating vision that students outnumber bad guys hundreds or thousands to one; and that bad guys attacking armed students results in....fewer &/or more-discreet bad guys (either one's fine by me)?
It's pretty well agreed upon that bad guys can get a hold of whatever weapon they want and bring it wherever they want. Arming college students doesn't solve the problem, it conceals it. Sure maybe somebody gets lucky and shoots the next VT guy before he does any damage, but the goal is to prevent these guys from getting the weapons in the first place, not to just react once they whip them out in a classroom.
If you put sprinkles on a turd it will still taste like shit (I'd imagine).

Interesting. My 5 year old didn't kill anyone last night. My evil black rifle must be defective.
It is also interesting that my 5 year old girl is more of a man than those guys. I'd comment, but I don't feel like registering.
What a great picture, Robb--and what a sweetie.
There's nothing cuter than a little girl--and nothing more contemptible than "men" who act like one.
I'm waiting for some tangentially-related information to appear online, and I'll be referencing back to your post when it does.

Why do my fellow Jews have to be such unendurable weenies?
Doesn't take much intelligence to get into college these days.
sorry, fellas, but college today is mostly daycare for the terminally immature.
You have just seen three examples of why.
Huh.

Mr. Levin,

....and die nevertheless.

What do you mean, "and then"?
> it will never end.
Neither will Darwinian selection. Your point?
Speaking of that, has it entirely escaped your penetrating vision that students outnumber bad guys hundreds or thousands to one; and that bad guys attacking armed students results in....fewer &/or more-discreet bad guys (either one's fine by me)?
