DWI – The War on Guns

We’re the Only Ones Conspiratorial Enough

The feds were closing in, and the key players in a massive criminal corruption scheme were starting to get worried. That’s what KRQE News 13 has learned from newly unsealed federal documents, detailing the FBI’s wiretapped phone conversations between Albuquerque Police Department officers and the law firm they were conspiring with.

Kinda makes you want to turn in those guns to them, doesn’t it?

The First Rule of Fight Club

According to the report, Hudson informed officers that he was carrying a firearm and voluntarily handed over a 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun. [More]

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

Just what Minnesota needs to take the focus off Democrats.

“Poor choices were made” …? These guys never stop being politicians, do they?

Charge Engen with falsification/obstruction, or don’t charge the rest of us if we’re caught lying to police. I don’t care how he is on guns, except for how being discredited invites attacks on all his positions, and what I read here makes me think he’s a squish who’s OK with taking a scalpel with a light touch to RKBA.

Nicholas has more.

Was he armed?

Is that all you or I would be charged with?

And why isn’t the “real reporter” asking these questions?

If it’s really a problem, how can we allow armed Texans to also have alcohol in their homes, especially noting how rampant domestic violence is there? And what’s keeping me from pouring a couple fingers of the good stuff right now, besides myself?

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.

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.
