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.
Anyone familiar with Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed, and we all should be, would bet their rent money that he's not going to simply sit down and shut up. The "Fat Lady" ain't even on stage yet!
More tyranny from the black robed tyrants. They will let the communist States pass all the infringement they desire, then the supremes will simply deny the gun rights people their petition. The long, slippery slope to outright bans.
"And your father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax." -- Rolling Stones.
The music and movie industries are struggling to cope with consumers' ability to duplicate and spread identical copies of their products sometimes before they are even officially released. Their efforts to control file sharing would be comical if there weren't entire industries and the jobs they support at stake.
"Brick and mortar" retailers are struggling as well to try and find a niche in markets they once ruled but have been taken away from them by the likes of Amazon. J. C. Penny's and Sears will likely not survive and Best Buy is not looking so good either.
Lawmakers apparently can't see the similar shifts in the foundations of their gun control schemes. When Joe Sixpack can spend an afternoon in his basement casting a dozen AR15 lowers from high strength polymer or working with one of Defense Distributed's Ghost Gunner machines finishing 80% aluminum lowers in his basement, the old ways of "making sure guns don't fall into the wrong hands" become worse than useless. They become jokes.
Meanwhile our "leaders" seek to perfect those systems by which they determine who's hands are the wrong hands and then wonder why we no longer take them seriously on any issue.
