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.
people arrived in the new world for nearly 200 years before anybody even got the idea to write the declaration of independence. why did they come? because of the attempted monopoly on force everywhere else in the world.
watch this video and then tell me more about the monopoly on force, josh. want to pretend someone still has it? want to pretend it exists?
the only thing "revolutionary" about our beginnings are the pie-in-the-sky stories leftists tell about there being no america prior to 1789.
Will Smith said in a movie once: "If THEY don't start nothin', won't BE nothin'." Horwitz and his ilk are OBSESSED. Not so long ago, a lady or gentleman could buckle on a gunbelt or drop a pistol in a coat pocket and go about their business in public. It was legal and normal and expected. The pendulum is swinging back in that direction, and the opposition can't stand it. I would very much prefer to die of natural causes at a very old age with all my parts. I'm sure our opposition would also. We are not the ones poking the badger with a stick. We are the badger, in the burrow, minding our own badger business.

Excellent essay.
Well said, David.
