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.
You really don't have a clue, do you, Andres Oppenheimer?

Oppenheimer is one of those fools who desires war more than peace. Does he REALLY want it to be a federal offense again to possess a magazine of larger than 20 rounds made after a certain arbitrary date? Does he REALLY want more olofsons, Weavers, Wacos? The U.S. government sent TONS of military hardware to the Contras in Central America. It didn't just evaporate. Did Oppenheimer say semi-automatic M-16? What an expert.
As everyone knows, a legal, transferable full-auto M16 rifle costs around 15,000 bux.
These people use bait ans switch tactics to confuse their readers.
I read some time ago that there was only one instance of a class III gun being used in a crime. And if memory serves, it wasn't actually utilized - there was another crime being investigated, and in typical jack-boot fashion, they charged the guy with a gun crime because he had a full auto while involved in some other criminal enterprise.
Yeah - Obama can help. He can stop the importation of military weapons to the Mexican military and police.
How does Oppenheimer does get an "existing inter-American drug convention" out of CIFTA (Convention Against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms)?
It appears to be exclusively an anti-firearms treaty to me.
"80% of those traceable..." Or that they bothered to trace. And I'll bet they had a way to cherry-pick those for the results they wanted. Never mind all that full-auto weaponry, and the military ordnance that the cartels get; that doesn't fit the agenda.

The M-16 pictured from USA Today had a grenade launcher attached. I had to post a comment on Mr. Oppenheimer's article.
