civil war – The War on Guns

They Did It! They Missed the Barn!

So how does one choose the side of peace? [More]

Through strength, obviously.

You’d think the American Thinker would have said something about an armed citizen deterrent.

Terry Schappert on Civil War

He knows whereof he speaks, and offers very doable things if people would only do them. [Watch]

Ay, there’s the rub…

A Churchill quote comes to mind:

[If] you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. (The Gathering Storm, London, 1948, 272.)

Those Who Cannot Remember the Past…

…presume to teach it. [More]

Just don’t expect stupid Democrats proven wrong to do anything but double down.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond…

The current dynamics, he continues, point to an emerging conflict between radicalized factions within the Muslim community and an incipient nativist white nationalism. [More]

One sign of an open mind is an ability to change it.

Personally, I’d be surprised.

Summer Heating Things Up

A House Democrat plans to introduce a resolution calling for the U.S. to spend trillions of dollars on reparations for Black Americans this week… “This is a moment in time where societies are shaped [and] new societies are built. We should be the ones who are shaping it,” said Lee. [More]

Oh, look: Another racist communist attacking whites. We know how they intend to “shape” society. Why do “comonsense gun safety” groups support these mob-inciting Marxists?

And why is “conservstive” Faux News bowing to woke intimidation and capitalizing the adjective “black”? Remember what Orwell said about perfect language.

Thus, words for extortion like “reparations”…

Speaking of Foreign Entanglements

Is Civil War Coming to Europe? [More]

And if so, how much American blood and treasure will it demand?

And why should we expect different results?

Government Advisor Warns UK Is Heading For Civil War [More]

I wonder if all that citizen disarmament will slow the newcomers down any…

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.
