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.
It's always been a dilemma for me to try to determine why in the world a bunch of "progressives" would want to hand all the power of the gun to the government, and the government only. Some of the comments following the article reflect that way of thinking.
These are the people who hated and distrusted George Bush, but wanted good ole George to be in charge of armed federal police, and who want the hoi polloi disarmed. By government actors, of course. They can't be expected to dirty their hands in that effort.
Yet they would accede all the power to use guns - including ownership and possession of guns - to armed government actors.
Maybe they believe, as do all "useful idiots," that when their favorite political party is in power, and their neighbors have all been conveniently disarmed, that they will be in the "special" class of people, and they will receive some sort of special protection by these armed actors.
Perhaps they should stop watching Dancing with the Stars on TV and break open and read some history books.
History bears out that useful idiots are among the first ones to be disposed of once their Utopian world view is implemented.
At least they won't fight back. They'll go sniveling to their fate, explaining that if only Mussolini (or whomever) knew about this outrage, he, or she, would fix it. Then they'll put up their hands and submit.

Support "Progressives/socialists/whatever slur is popular today" when they want to further your causes.
A little leaven, leavens the whole lump. Reading the blog is like hanging out at a cesspool for lunch.

But then, that can't happen here.
You won't hear them talk about training.
Too much like a militia.
