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.
Dave, please post this version vice the earlier. I noticed a typo, thanks:
The tone of the majority comments speaks volumes about McClatchy's readership. "McClatchy" is I suspect a disorder characterized by knotted bowels and vitriol. I don't personally care if someone doesn't want to own a gun, it’s a free (for now) country, but don't mandate your unwillingness to be prudently prepared to take care of yourselves and your loved ones on me, thanks very much. That it makes you a potential burden for others seems acceptable to you and is sad, but that's what collectivist liberals are all about, isn’t it? By the common logic of the comments, carrying fire insurance on one’s home would be alarmist paranoia too. No one really expects their home to burn down, yet it happens. If, God forbid, anything dire happens in this country, those of you who have chosen to depend on others for your protection will be the first at our doors asking for sanctuary. And you will likely receive it, because contrary to the obvious misconceptions, it is NOT about "me and my guns"... “He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression: for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach unto himself.” -- Thomas Paine. “You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. You can only be free if I am free.” -- Clarence Darrow.
