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.
As this bill only has an exemption for .22 cal tubular magazines, it would ban reproductions of Henry, 1866, 1873 and 1892 Winchester rifles, along with repro Colt Lightnings. Cowboy Action shooters take note - this isn't just about black rifles.
I was looking up the text of the Hughes amendment, and was just wondering.. do you think that if someone wrote a bill, in proper format (luckily i have practice doing so being a former mayor.), that they could change the hughes amendment section without the anti's even knowing about it? And maybe even replacing the "Sporting Purposes" text to something more friendly to gun owners? You can have a bill amend the text without listing the text itself, but just listing the new text. So 18.922(o) could become something harmless, and 18.922(R) could have sporting purposes replaced with militia purposes, or something that would cover almost all firearms as legal.

Found this neat tool to let your Senators and Rep know your opinion about this at http://popvox.com
Don't forget to call and mail separately.

What do you think?
I have no idea how that would be possible.
