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.
I hear echoes of card-carrying Socialist Rep. Henry Waxman: "If these people are going to use the Internet to defend their rights, then I don't feel comfortable with their having the Internet at all." The free flow of speech and information is like the dead man switch the Discovery Channel terrorist said he had on his bombs. There was some kind of explosion when they shot him, reports say. Finding the Internet just OFF one day for a reason other than technical difficulties or routine maintenance by my provider would indicate that the putsch, the purge, the mass arrests and martial law have begun. I don't advise our dear leaders to play with THAT pretty shiny blasting cap.
N'that kinda idiocy could be a tipper, like the kind on the list at JPFO. Anybody else get the feeling that King Obongo, once he shuts the internet down, won't allow it back on? Hell, the Constitution and the BOR mean squat to him, why should communications be any big deal?
This internet kill switch business just could be the Ft Sumter a lot of people are waiting for, rather than some idiotic draconian gun control legislation.
I would guess that something like this will affect many millions more people than just gun owners, or even those concerned with the health care act. An internet controlled by the feds will restrict who, when and where one can communicate with almost anyone.

Just thinking.
