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.
AP has a point: imagine the past three years going exactly as they have, but under mccain instead of obama: president mccain assassinates an american citizen, anwar al awlaki, with a drone strike. then president mccain assassinates anwar's teenage son with a drone strike. "oops."
would i have to add anything else? would trillion-dollar budget holes even begin to register? i doubt this. the media would have nothing else to talk about for months. there would be several acts of violence, aimed at retribution.
unfortunately it is a point that comes up just before every election, recently, and it depends entirely on there being something to win back just a little later down the road.
what road.
the fact is that obama until 2016 is plenty enough time to cross the point of no return, so it's not really any better or safer for americans, it's safer for the GOP. do they even remotely deserve it?
economic and otherwise, the troubles are only getting started. even a ron paul presidency will be contemporaneous with some good old fashioned national suffering; nobody's daydreaming here.
but until paul actually does not get the nomination, i'll still promote him as the sole viable option for the presidency. once he loses, well, we know obama beats romney, so we can concern ourselves strictly with being heard... as the rolling blackouts kick in, and the gas pumps shut off every day at 4pm.
before that happens, the only narrative is that we need to induce vomiting now or die on the way to the ER. i don't care if i see four years 25% unemployment with president paul. if that's how long it takes to correct the malinvestments and government interference, fine. it's not like the next generation is better prepared to cope: they're busy being sent to the public schools to learn to hate your culture.
