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.
Crackin' me up here, boss. Yeah, the first thing my sons would think of is taking away teachers' gun. Projection. And being a great example of the American Whussie. The US is not only overun with illegals,communists, and criminals, it is awash in cowards.
Another research-challenged college journalist who'll probably go into the biz. Attacks on schools in Israel have dropped practically to zero since teachers can go armed. Teachers with a gun LICENSE, true, which shouldn't be required, but ... This jerk wants a nice big bouquet of Columbine for everyone. Don't even ASK POLITELY for your rights BACK.
I let him have it by calling him out on his "Anyone with basic understanding" comment, saying that those with more advanced understanding tend to agree with the signs.
Let's hope the writer of that article takes time to actually read the comments. This one caught my eye:
Oh one other note for another anti gun fallacy, review of actual history by W. Eugene Hollon resulted in a book, "Frontier Violence Revisitied". This book using actual government data and records showed that during the heyday between 1870 to 1885 the so called wild west, the wildest of towns, Abilene, Dodge City, Tuscon etc, etc had only 45 deaths by firearms, or a rate of 1 per 100k people. Funny how today, towns and states with draconian gun laws or bans have rates between 6 to 10 per 100k, which can be referenced in the FBI UCR database. So again, was there a wild west, or is just another unsubstantiated fantasy fear of a few idiots who would rather believe dime novels and hollywood fantasy than the real facts?
