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.
At least no one has called me a "racist hater"- yet. But in response to my latest blog about Martin and Zimmerman someone commented on Facebook that they didn't "feel it". It's not about "feelings", it's about thinking.
And I am certain that Twitter is legally liable for permitting these death threats to be broadcast via their medium, as they have control over content. the fact that it violates their own policy and they allow it to continue demonstrates their liability and 'depraved indifference', so they are ripe for a mega lawsuit. Anyone know how to pass that on to the Zimmerman family?
Yeah, but this is "Twitchy", which must be a competitor of Twitter, unless it's owned by Twitter. It certainly seems less circumspect about what goes out.
The events of the past few weeks have done more to open my eyes ("to see" in the vernacular) to the reality of race relations between American Blacks and Whites - and indeed other ethnicities - than any other event in my life. If there's one watershed moment I can point to that articulated the troubling but not yet fully formed conclusions about the Zimmerman affair, it was reading John Derbyshire's "The Talk - Non-Black Version". I would bet a lot of Americans - White, Jewish, East and South Asian, whatever - in the past few weeks have become at peace with the idea of complete and total isolation from Blacks. No hate, no violence - unless in defense - just the concept of "I want nothing to do with these people. I don't want to work with them, school with them, socialize with them, or have my kids mix with them and adopt their detestably nihilistic 'culture' which can be summed up as "let's dress, talk, "sing", act like we're under-educated felons" For a while, I subscribed to Chris Rock's WAY ahead take on the situation but now, for my security and the security of my family, I will separate myself from ALL of them.
**David, if you don't approve this comment, I totally understand.
Will your targets be selected because of their race?
I debated posting your comment, 8:59, because I typically will only allow anonymous threats against me.
If I read your statement at face value and without qualification, it makes you a monster that needs to be destroyed.
Are you a monster? Or a collectivist troll trying to make freedom-defenders look like monsters?
I don't know if you posted using a proxy or not, but this site is frequented on occasion from alphabet agency IP addresses--just an fyi that those doing the looking undoubtedly have tracing capabilities that might make true anonymity problematic in some circumstances.

If anyone harms Mr. Zimmerman, I declare 100 heads.
100 heads?
100 innocent heads?
Whose heads?
