gun - The War on Guns

By the Numbers

There are an average of 1,820,000 defensive gun uses per year compared to 1,100,000 reported crimes. Only 2.07 million civilians regularly carry a firearm for defense. Civilians are 85% more likely to use a firearm for defense than to be murdered by one. [More]

[Insert name of gungrabber here] would rather you be murdered than armed. Preferably by someone with a gun, to bolster their numbers.

The biggest lie is the banner that says “Enough is Enough.”

It will never be enough.

It Takes All Kinds

Exclusive — Donald Trump: If Kamala Harris Actually ‘Has a Gun, She Should Say What Kind of a Gun [More]

She does not dare admit it’s a semi-auto.

And are we to believe she owns (one?) and the Second Gentleman does not? Because I’ve hear rumors…

We’re the Only Ones Normal Enough

Normal Police Chief Petrilli ‘owns mistake’ of bringing loaded gun to the Bloomington airport [More]

Oh, no! He got a warning and may lose precheck eligibility!

Yeah, I’d say the lack of real consequences for “Only Ones” is pretty normal.

The rest of us, not so much…

Crazy, ain’t it?

The Wrong Question

Court upholds gun ban for migrants in US unlawfully [More]

As noted before, this is a red herring.

Crossing the Line

New Hampshire residents who carry their legally owned guns when passing through Massachusetts should not be charged with any crimes, Attorney General John Formella argued in a brief supporting a legal challenge from two state residents facing criminal charges in the Bay State. [More]

Enjoy these arguments while you can. If Kamala wins, remaking SCOTUS and reversing Bruen will be top priorities.

Rocky Mountain Low

The 8 gun bills passed by Colorado’s legislature this year and signed into law by the governor – A handful of other measures didn’t make it across the finish line [More]

They will next time.

Who wants to bet there won’t be more after those?

Military Cemetery Gun Bans an Affront to Patriots Who Died Fighting for Freedom

There is no valid reason the government can give that should supersede the rights of deceased veterans’ survivors, certainly nothing that would comply with the Bruen standard of history, text, and tradition at the time the Constitution was ratified. [More]

Kinda puts the lie to those Lee Greenwood lyrics…

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.
