Constitution Day - The War on Guns

I guess it doesn’t rate a Google Doodle (hey, it’s not like it’s “Mexico Independence Day“)…

Or a proclamation, for that matter…

And Happy Birthday, younger feral son Qusay.

UPDATE

I posted a reminder to the president on Truth Social:

I then called the White House number only to find out it is limited to an an announcement about tours, and then called the switchboard only to be told they cannot pass along messages and “they’re out for the day.”

Just to make sure I didn’t miss anything, I decided to see if Google’s AI could help, and this was the response:

As of September 17, 2025, the White House has not issued a statement or proclamation specifically from President Donald Trump commemorating Constitution Day. While the day is typically observed with presidential proclamations, a search of White House and official channels showed no such announcements for the current year.

That’s more than not a good look. Especially since the AI answer says Joe Biden didn’t forget.

Realizing that the guy is busy and out of country being feted by British royalty, this nonetheless could and should have been prepped in advance and represents a failure on the part of his staff to look out for their boss’s image and interests.

This DHS statement hardly cuts it.

If I had time I’d do a deeper dive and see what the rest of his administration and the Congress has to say, and who said nothing.

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.
