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.
Must be a truly dumb arachnid to not realize safety lies in getting out of the way of multi-ton road-building equipment. The politicians and bureaucrats implementing the "Save the spiders - Save the animals - Save the unique rocks campaigns must be very religious. Else they would get out of the way and let "evolution" continue.
I live in S.A. and I am Damned Glad I almost never need to drive that far west on 151. Poor barstids who live out that way and have to take 151 to/from work are totally screwed. But since the people who make all the decisions live 20 miles or more away in a completely different quadrant of the city I don't expect it to be resolved soon. Hell, they've been working on 151 since the 80s.
Gotta love all the little "endangered" critters and plants etc. Every summer I get to watch my grass die so a couple of bugs, a couple of fish and some kind of weedy grass can stay around. EXCEPT! that they were preserved in the 20s by people raising them in terrariums and acquariums and nobody bothered to record which critter/plant came from which set of springs (there're two sets) so they just seeded 'm in both and no the springs can't be allowed to drop below a certain flow rate. Course that minimum flow rate is three times the max recorded rate before the springs were dynamited to improve them for tourists. The minimum also just happens to be the minimum needed to sustain the Guadalupe and Comal rivers so that a major chemical plant down stream near the coast doesn't have to pay for water. Did I mention that the parent company of said plant bankrolled the Sierra Club's lawsuit which resulted in the mess?

Wow! Found only twice in the world, both times in Bexar (pronounced "Bear") county. Must already be on its way out if it's that scarce!
Besides, I can attest from personal experience that it this thing goes extinct, Texas has plenty of other creepy-crawlies to fill in for it.
