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.
This what we Southrons have to deal with almost every day. We have a local shop that offers a bumper sticker that reads, "We don't care how you did it UP THERE" with the Confederate Battle flag for emphasis.
What that lily-livered little coward needs most of all is a reminder that we do like to shoot things here, most of all, we like to shoot whining Yankees.
Recently, a "peace index" released by the nonprofit Institute for Economics and Peace confirmed my anecdotal experience. The institute uses the word "peace" as a proxy for "absence of violence." Among the regions of the country, the Northeast was deemed the most "peaceful," while the Southeast was found to be the least "peaceful."
The institute used five indicators to determine level of peacefulness: violent crimes, homicides, incarceration rates, policing and availability of small arms.
Get it? He argues that it's more "peaceful" where there are fewer guns, and then "proves" it, through use of a formula that (somehow) determines that "peace" is, in part, a function of a lack of guns!
That goes well beyond circular "reasoning"--it's "helical reasoning," maybe.
I looked Mr. Chiles up, turns out he's black and has located in the South for, ahem, a hidden agenda. It's not really particularly well hidden in that article, though.
Whet he must not know is that, in the South, blacks are as heavily armed as the rest of us.

The comments after that article were truly sad.

I have a feeling this is a pre-fab hit piece. It has all the classic signs of liberal-speak.
Be prepared to see more like it around the nation.
Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist?
HAHAHAHAHAHA...........

He'd better assimilate or GTFO.
