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.
Bread and Circuses: There's an app for that. [More]

In recent years I've really started to understand the appeal of alcohol, "illegal" drugs, and other methods of numbing the mind against reality. When reality for USians is a government whose maximum limit of nonconsensual authority is that possessed by a single human being's, but nonetheless is filled with agents who treat the very people who are the source of their authority as literal slaves to the point of murdering those who are capable of revealing such rampant criminality... the temptation to become intentionally blind is so strong when compared to the alternatives.
Two- or three-hundred to one against the scummy TARP bailouts which were nonetheless imposed is a perfect illustration among many, many more examples that "the system" is broken beyond repair from within. Aside from collecting proof of criminal acts, making lists of responsible names, obtaining and staging resources, then starting a private defensive war, what other alternatives are left?
Bread and circuses are not something to be proud of partaking in, but I am very hard-pressed to condemn such revellers when they are not the criminals at the root of the problem and when the overwhelmingly vast majority of the so-called freedom-lovers both refuse to recognize that the system cannot be fixed from within the system and are also quick to condemn even those who merely wish to withdraw from the system let alone actually fight back.
I am going to burn this line into my memory for future use. It's succinct, eloquent and absolutely true. It fits perfectly with people that mock California, not realizing that crap flows downhill (or in this case, west to east).
