Politics - The War on Guns

A Bipartisan Effort

[T]he administration has announced that former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick will take the baton from Jankowicz and continue down the disinformation track. [More]

So Bender and a Jared Kushner advisor…?

Let’s Not Get Too Confident

I can assure you, by focusing on gun control, the “red wave” will only become redder. [More]

Not trusting the “staunchness” of most Republicans, I can’t. I think we just haven’t had the “right” massacre to get a critical mass to turn tail.

Who’s Kidding Whom?

Feinstein Introduces Bill to Increase Age to Buy Assault Weapons [More]

But don’t worry, it’s just “commonsense” and “reasonable.” No one is talking about taking them away from everyone:

State of the State

The 2022 primary election is (mostly) over. [More]

Oregon Firearms Federation updates us on political results and what gun owners can expect.

The Voice of Experience

Sharpton: Trump Mainstreamed ‘Hatred’ that Opened Pathway for Buffalo Shooter [More]

Why, did he call anyone “diamond merchants“?

[Via bondmen]

Down for the Count

Census screw-up favors blue states? Shocking [More]

So all this talk about “disenfranchising voters” is pretty much projection…?

Half the Battle

GRNC – PVF Gun voters won big on Tuesday [More]

Efforts pay off. Now assume they need to be redoubled for November.

AzCDL Legislative Update

The Arizona legislature remains focused on the state budget and has done little to advance the pro-rights bills AzCDL supports. This is not unusual late in the session and we remain hopeful that some or all of these bills will receive attention before Sine Die, when the legislature adjourns for the year. [More]

If your rep owes gun owners for his position of extreme privilege, let him know you supported him before because you expected proactive leadership in return.

And if my masculine pronoun default offends anyone, good.

Abrams Exploits Constituent Ignorance and Flat-Out Lies About Guns

Who would be ignorant enough to fall for that? Based on results, millions throughout the Republic, citizenship malpractitioners who no longer ask, but demand to know what their country can do for them, voters influenced by emotion over reality and image over substance. [More]

From the party of cognitive dissonance…

I’m Not Alone

As I read some original coverage of a 2A Task Force created by Donald Trump Jr. last week, it left out way too many details to decide exactly what the task force is and how it will work. David Codrea has concerns, too, and suggests some scrutiny is called for. [More]

Yep. Especially when he says they’re going to use it to support candidates and I see some of the inexplicable ones they’re endorsing…

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.
