California - The War on Guns

The San Francisco Treat!

Gunman on San Francisco subway train kills one person, wounds another [More]

His victims were all obeying citizen disarmament laws.

Any bets on the number of times this piece of crap has been in the system?

Skinner in the Game

The lie here is that it will *ever* be “enough.”

California bill would require all gun owners to obtain liability insurance [More]

They’ll then be able to price it out of the range of those of modest means, pressure insurance companies not to sell it, and for those that still do, pass laws saying they must cancel policies that don’t meet an ever-expanding list of allegations using the old “loophole” scam.

Meanwhile, expect these guys to continue business as usual.

“Skinner” seems an appropriate aptronym.

Making the Grade

Three people were killed and four others wounded in a shooting early Sunday at a warehouse party in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles police said. [More]

Expecting such regular occurences is only “common sense.”

The First Rule of ‘Democracy’

Prosecutors Say California Policy Reforms Favor Criminal Suspects Over Victims [More]

Well, yeah. You’ve gotta take care of your core constituents.

An Open Door Policy

Mountain lion roams into California high school classroom…There was no safety threat to the public… [More]

Yeah, what harm could come from staff leaving a door open for predators?

Can We All Get Along?

The harm to African Americans that started with slavery persists to this day through systemic discrimination that requires California to make “comprehensive reparations” and extensive reforms in housing, education and the justice system, according to a sweeping report released Wednesday by a first-in-the-nation state reparations task force. [More]

What are your options when your government tells you your very existence is an offense?

A Discriminating Solution

CA Schools No Longer Have to Notify Police of Threats Made by Students [More]

Because telling them is racist.

So instead, we’re going after gun manufacturers.

The Usual Suspects

One person was killed and nine others were wounded in a shooting late Friday night involving a large crowd that had gathered for a party in San Bernardino, authorities said. [More]

How many white supremacists were involved?

Bait and Switch

“A California bill regarding roof replacement building standards was just amended to completely change it into a gun and ammo tax that would take effect immediately.” [More]

Everything these bastards do is based on lies.

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.
