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.
[quote] policymakers remain unwilling to take any meaningful action to address this urgent public safety issue, [/quote]
I must agree, but not in the way they understand it. The "policymakers" remain unwilling to get rid of all the "gun control" insanity that keeps people from being able to defend themselves.
Criminals - violent criminals - are the urgent public safety issue, not the rest of us.

Merger Will Better Coordinate and Leverage Resources to Waste Taxpayer Money Accusing Inanimate Objects of Crimes
Two anti-self-defense and liberty prevention organizations, The Honest Tyrants Alliance and Truthful Tyrants United to Prevent Life and Liberty, are joining forces to encourage further tyranny of the populace and also to tell the truth for a freakin' change. The combined organizations promise not to submarine their evil, authoritarian agenda in a tub of misleading code phrases, (that nobody really understood anyway.)
The merger will maximize resources to better coordinate the devastation of the lives of innocent people who attempt to employ in their defense weapons invented in the stone age or later. Each year, thousands of people somehow escape the long reach of the authoritarian state, and miss out on the unique experience of being harassed or destroyed by agents of the state who enforce illegal disarmament diktats by employing disproportionate violence.
"Despite our ongoing efforts to promote the harassment and imprisonment of people who have committed no crime against others, policymakers remain unwilling to outright stomp the necks of anyone who even tries to acquire a weapon for his own defense," said Alan Smithee, executive director of the nonexistent Honest and Truthful Tyrants United for the Prevention of Life and Liberty. "We believe aligning our efforts will increase the rate at which this country becomes a statist, authoritarian nightmare, where people are equally afraid of being savaged by violent criminals or agents of government. This in turn will provide greater opportunities to completely rob people of their freedom, which is the ultimate goal; we're just waiting for them to be disarmed."
For example, the HTTUPLL recently launched a 450 mile tour in Wisconsin with a display of shirts, each representing a citizen who had died because he was unable to legally defend himself even with a flint axe a caveman would have no trouble carrying, while government agents with jobs as minor as guarding junk mail or examining excise tax forms are equipped with machineguns, free ammunition, and immunity from responsibility should those weapons go missing.
"We are coming together in a more coordinated way to leverage, uh, corporate buzzwords....aw hell, we just want to socially engineer society into our own demented, paranoia-fueled tragedy, because we are incapable of learning from our history of failure, and that it is our birthright to destroy the lives of complete strangers under pretexts we've concocted from our own profound ignorance."

You're right MamaL, but what you didn't mention is that very often the police and the violent criminals are one and the same.

Displaying the shirts of shooting victims...
I guess "waving the bloody shirt" still hasn't gone out of style.
