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.
We have the chance to finally get it right. The Founders' vision, but with the baggage of the previous centuries jettisoned. Slavery gone. Women able to vote and hold office. Racial and other minorities able to participate on an equal footing in the entrepreneurial and politicial processes. The Constitution was meant to be a chain on the beast the Founders knew government -- any government -- eventually becomes. The New York Times may be a megaphone for the forces of the left now, but what if the left wins the endgame? A free press then becomes so inconvenient.
Defender, it's not a "left" and "right" issue when it comes to the totalitarian regimes we all fear. It's the people on the top who create despotism. It seems frankly obvious that the "left" and "right" are indefinable parodies of a political party. D's and R's exist solely to obfuscate real issues into irreconciable bundled packages that are delivered through a "left" and "right" megaphone (vis-à-vis, Fox News, CNN). The "left" and "rigth" have no definable idelogy, example: while one is in power abusing the constitution the other side decries the fowls, then the parties switch positions 180 degrees. Both use the same talking points, it just depends on who is in power.
Go down to your college and teach a liberal how to shoot a gun. "Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them. And it requires no high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the only sure reliance on the preservation of our liberty."
So, The leadership of the Republican party along with a NYT's op-ed piece written in December of 2010 finally recognizes and acknowledges a message that Dr. Ron Paul has been preaching to deaf ears for how many decades?
I seriously doubt that the NYT will ever open its collective eyes but maybe, just maybe, the Republicrats in congress are beginning to see a glimmer of light.
