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.
Their rage is the rage of the Fool, and their comments, the words of the impotent. They bleat loudly and clearly for their own rape, murder, and theft. And since they will never be able to summon the intestinal fortitude to defend their own lives, they demand your demise as well.
And I wonder how many times the "Report This Article" has been punched by the liberal free-speech advocates?
Any idea why the comments are getting wonky? On one page it showed 33 and then it only shows 13.
Great job on stirring up the hoplophobes. It's days like this that make me happy to be connected to the interwebz. :)
Oh, and now they're going to organize a boycott against your sponsors and what not. I mean if they had any idea how many sponsors there were on the Outdoor Channel and the pro-gun programs they'd have an brain aneurysm.
Joker, you're having trouble too? I noticed the loss of a lot of comments when I refreshed, and I also noticed that when I filled the screen, I could continue to type, but after each character, the screen went back to about halfway up my text.
And oh, boy, the antis are in a rage over there!
Messesi? Is that a new Southern state? (verification word)
I have to say it, If you don't like guns or you are afraid of them, then DON'T CARRY THE WEAPON. Do not attempt to force me to kowtow to your agenda and remove my ability to defend myself from unwanted acts of aggression. It's a simple risk versus reward for the criminals. They compare the risk of their action against the potential rewards. Attacking me carries considerable risk already since I'm a large man (6', heavyweight). They have to think, "If he gets hold of me, he will probably hurt or kill me very easily." Now let's look at my coworker, 5'2" and weighs maybe a hundred pounds soaking wet. Her risk to reward factor is much different, right up until you add the fact that she carries a handgun and can center mass as well or better than I can. When said criminal tries on her, she pulls her gun and warns him off. That risk to reward just changed exponentially and the criminal decides that maybe it's time to find a more socially acceptable to accomplish his goals.
I'm saddened to read about the apparent murder of a Yale Medical student. It reminds me that when I was at Yale, I found the university to be incredibly cavalier about security. I spent 5 semesters living in the law school dorm, and therefore walking around the immediate campus area. In that entire time, I saw exactly one police car patrolling one time.
After a law student's face was slashed right in front of the law school my first year there, Yale hired a security guard to sit inside the law school building at night. Most of the time he was asleep. This was literally the only security I ever saw in the entire law school campus.
Read the rest of the article Le wrote. She talked about how you should notice details of your assailant, like shoes and clothes, to describe to the police. She was mentally unprepared for what happened to her.
Whoever did this to her was waiting and caught her completely unprepared or it was someone she knew and trusted. Possibly both. There's no way this was some random attack.

Sean, that's beautiful--post it over there so they can read it?
Yo, wilco, out.
David, Any time you need a fire-mission or reinforcments just say the word. Clearly we will come through.

David, I should probably say something about how one shouldn't go right up to their cage and start poking them with a long stick.
I should, but I won't. :)
Keep up the good work, and keep up with the linky-love to the enemy's websites.
My post over on the original topic:

You get paid by view, right?
I love how the leftists are raising your standard of living. Maybe you've found the path to a retirement plan!{;>)
