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.
McRae is scheduled for sentencing in March. And while another ongoing story appears unrelated, it will be interesting to see if he serves less time than Oregon ranchers Dwight and Steven Hammond, who were “accused … of being ‘Terrorists” under the Federal Anti terrorism Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996,’” for their wildfire containment efforts spilling over onto federal land.

Their mistakes, aside from not being a politically-favored color, was not being anti-gun "progressives" working for an Islamist politician, not bursting white powder all over the place, and not leaving an explicit death threat note.
Just point and cli... oh, damn... [More]
So put your booger hook ON the bang switch? I always figured some day Jeff Cooper would be made obsolete by technology.
Hey, if the object is to save time, how about a sensor that automatically fires the gun whenever it senses a person in front of the muzzle? [Via Michael G]
UPDATE: It seems the attention ... uh ... triggered a site takedown. Fortunately, the Wayback Machine had an archive, so I changed the link.
And then there's this, because "first tier operators" are super-special Only Ones, with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, and never, ever screw up and always maintain weapons in perfect operating condition, regardless:
Germany: seventy years to go from sheisselord fearsome to scrotally fallow. What a ride. [More]
True, for the moment, it's voluntary and oh, so"progressive." But since when have the do-gooders ever had a grand idea that didn't require expansion? For our own good, of course.
Certainly the Third Amendment won't apply if the legal argument is made that "refugees" aren't "soldiers." Tell me there aren't federal judges who would agree with that. That is, assuming the UN Charter isn't the supreme Law of the Globe, making the inconvenient regional BoR a moot point...
All of that said, we must make sure all understand that as ill-advised as this was, it is no worse in its effect than any of the Occupy protests of a couple of years ago. I’m betting it will not be anywhere near as destructive to the facility as the Occupy folks were at every location they protested. Let's make sure that our elected officials understand that we expect the same amount of patience and restraint granted to these protesters as was given to those Occupy freaks. [More]
