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.
Terahertz-another word for infrared. IR is typically absorbed strongly by water, and depending on how narrow a frequency band they're looking at, a gun shaped bladder with water in it should be enough to set it off.
Funny thing is, I can think of three or four very simple things that probably will thoroughly defeat the technology. It measures radiation naturally emitted by the human body, and just looks for objects that block it.
Solution: put another source of radiation between the gun and the device.
To defeat it, I could easily: - Walk in the middle of a crowd. - Turn my non-gun-side to face the device. - Walk with my wife on my gun-side. - Carry my daughter in my non-dominant hand, with the gun in a shoulder holster between our bodies.
Get around this system by distributing cutout steel silhouette outlines of pistols as freedom and liberty party favors.
I did not know that mere possession of a gun warrants initiating a body search of there is not other reason for the encounter. Is this a presumption of guilt until you prove yourself innocent by producing a license to carry? Isn't this a similar strategy to scanning residences with an infrared scanner to determine whether anything of interest to the government was inside? A similar strategy would be to pull over all drivers of motor vehicles on the George Washington Bridge to ensure that each of the driver's license to operate a vehicle, vehicle registration, VIN and insurance are in order before they proceed on the streets of NYC. Gotta make sure those are not stolen cars because some are!

Choot it, Jimmy, choot it!

Run this one past the ACLU, not the NRA.
