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.
Jefferson said it best: They have "erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance."
Mad dog governmental employees who believe they are accountable to no one.

Should read: "Mad dog governmental employees who are accountable to no one."
Years ago when I observed numerous prosecutorial abuses and misconduct - which always went unpunished - I tried to interest some lawyers in advancing a law that would offer grand jury access to citizens.
The thumbnail version is this: I noted that civil proceedings against government agents were defended by the same government lawyers who are supposed to prosecute government agents. It's a conflict of interest. The same government law office charged with prosecuting crimes defends civil charges.
A lawyer - an officer of the court - should be able to review evidence and present it to a grand jury. The same lawyer should then be paid what a DOJ trial lawyer gets for prosecuting the case. Of course, the DOJ would be defending the federal actor. DOJ's client is the US Government - not "the people."
Until something like the above happens, there will never be justice. Thus, mad dog governmental employees and agents will remain accountable to no one.
