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.
If the 11-year-old girl had been forced to shoot, the Bradyites would have added it to their statistics of children shooting other "children." The guys look like they're in their 20s. If the rifle had been "locked up for your safety," this could have been a home invasion/robbery/rape/murder instead of the happy ending that it is. A passing cop -- with a gun -- arrested the guys as they fled. The family says they know one of the perps. Nice house, nice stuff, an apparent opportunity, and some people will take advantage. Look for them in the news again after they're paroled.
"Won't someone prosecute this family for not locking up their guns away from children?"
The family locked their child away from three masked burglars, but the crowbar on the locked door made that effort irrelevant.
Even better, the family gave the child the ability and tools necessary to defend herself. However, with only two rounds available for three burglars, she could only hope that they stood in front of each other for a twofer.
I hope my *13*-year-old granddaughter would be as cool in a crisis. Meanwhile in England, a single mass shooting continues to pay dividends. Got shotgun license? Not for long. The tiny boy in the photo seems to be carrying a popgun, or a pump pellet gun at worst. Scary, to some. Especially along with the dreaded camouflage T-shirt.

Oh, no! A child had access to an evil pink rifle! Lock up the parents! Send the child to a psychologist for counseling!
Didn't bother to watch it, it seems one cannot scratch ones behind without HAVING A GD COMMERCIAL SHOVED IN THEIR FACE.

Somebody get that girl a ticket to an Appleseed.
She is the kind of youngster we are gonna need if we are going to right the ship of state.
