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.
N' while we're at it, we could build a fire, sing a couple of songs, n' make up more stories about how to fix things using solutions PROVEN to have never worked. It's the socialist way.
What is this, New Jersey circa 1966? The disarmament movement has received everything it ever wanted, from universal interference in arms transactions, to de facto bans in nearly every major city. New York City, for example, has had unquestioned arbitrary powers to prevent citizens from defending themselves since the Sullivan Act of 1911.
I give up. You tell me: what's the next step? Really, really, really ban self-defense and weapons? (We really, really, really mean it this time!) All this rubbish is an ineffective waste of tax payer money that endangers the life of everyone who believes in the "life" part of the guarantee of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". For what? For a problem that effects a single-digit percentage of the population--at best.
The worst run of crime in this country happened during the time when the most restrictive "gun control" rules were in place. Let's not revisit that period of our history. The number of handguns in the possession of Americans keeps going up, but crime is way down, and so are "accidents" due to negligent handling of weapons.

Don't forget the oversized posters depicting people with rolled up sleeves, tractors and flags fluttering in the wind.
"INVALID INPUT"
Here's what I wrote, but was not accepted:

"Gun control"--what a fraud. Give it up, already.
