TINVOWOOT

Life in the TINVOWOOT Zone

Gun owners have taken the first step toward putting before Massachusetts voters a proposal to repeal the firearms law signed on July 25 by Gov. Maura Healey, a statute the governor called the “most significant gun safety legislation in a decade.” [More] Yeah, about that… If “we” lose in November, that zone will expand. [Via Jess]

“We need every gun owner in New Mexico to vote in every election, and remember this outrage when they do,” said CCRKBA Managing Director Andrew Gottlieb. [More] Here’s the problem with that as a political strategy: Every gun owner, especially the new ones, is not necessarily a Republican, and not necessarily a 2A supporter over … Continue reading “TINVOWOOT”

VOTE

While it seems unlikely that anyone who reading this would miss a vote, the reality is many gun owners do not register to vote or return their ballots. [More] I kind of understand a fatalistic TINVOWOOT impulse. But I don’t get profiles in apathy. Or rejecting a self-defense tactic. I will keep trying with the … Continue reading “VOTE”

Accept This Truth: Democrats Would Vote for a Cabbage

“And now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin” [More] Doesn’t matter. American women will burn the house down to keep the Dotard-in-Chief OR get them their first woman president and abortion. Turn your nose up at … Continue reading “Accept This Truth: Democrats Would Vote for a Cabbage”

Immediate Retaliation

GOA, GOF JOIN GUN OWNERS OF CALIFORNIA IN SUIT CHALLENGING CALIFORNIA’S BRAND NEW ANTI-CONCEALED CARRY LAW [More] This, TINVOWOOTers, is why denying Democrats an unchallengeable majority is legit.

Down to the Wire

This demented policy could pass or fail on fewer votes than virtually any other in memory. [More] The enemy is counting on TINVOWOOTers…

We’ll Just See About That

“It’s not 1994 anymore,” said Peter Ambler, executive director of the gun safety organization Giffords, founded by former Ariz. Rep. Gabby Giffords, who was shot in 2011. “It’s safe to say that, at this point, we have obliterated the idea that guns is risky political territory for Democrats. Quite the contrary.” [More] At least they’ve … Continue reading “We’ll Just See About That”

A ‘Progressive’ Advancement

GOP’s McConnell: Gun Control Bill Will ‘Make Progress for the Country’ [More] No doubt. Especially when a critical mass of thoroughly disgusted and demoralized gun voters figure TINVOWOOT, so stay home, let the “progressives” win and let’s get this thing over with. [Via bondmen]

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. 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.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, 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 the old 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 without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, 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.
