Advertising Disclosure
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.

At that rate, they're looking at ~4,000 injured and over 600 dead by year's end.
Why do I imagine the gang-bangers responding, "Challenge accepted"?
110 shot, 17 killed ... they need bigger calibres - them "Saturday Night Specials" just ain't doing the job in ChiTown ...
Ma Duce
Watching the Lefty blogs, I see that their now-standard response to "Forget it, Jake, it's Chi-Town" is: "Your hick southern towns like Atlanta and Birmingham have lots of murders, too!"
"Yeah, sweet pea," I answer, "what do all these cities have in common? Democrat mayors, 'gun-free zones' and black thugs."
That causes an amygdala rupture. They can't take it.
Interesting that two of these Chicago shooting incidents are not gang-on-gang shootings, but instead are defensive gun use during armed robberies, with the robbers' outcomes not good.
Two (“children” by some definitions) shot and killed during attempted armed robbery of liquor store posted as “no guns allowed”:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-two-robbers-shot-to-death-20160109-story.html
The over 200 comments by Chicago Tribune readers are interesting.
Two shot but only wounded during attempted robbery of a T-Mobile franchise:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-robbers-shot-cell-phone-store-20160113-story.html
“T-Mobile spokeswoman Annie Garrigan said the store is an independant dealer of T-Mobile products, not owned or operated by the company.”
Nice corporate back-pedaling there, T-Mobile, trying to disassociate your corporation from people needing to do the grisly but necessary business of defending themselves from gun-wielding robbers while selling your corporation’s products and services.
