LEOSA - The War on Guns

We’re the Only Ones Unreciprocating Enough

Fraternal Order of Police Urges Congress to Reject National Reciprocity [More]

Because “Only Ones” are so much better than We the People in so many ways. But it does kinda make you wonder what they meant by that oath, and how many thought it was just a ceremonial formality.

The weight of the badge, eh, George?

Back the blue that won’t back you?

Since when do we ask the help how many horses and hounds we can own?

How about REPEAL LEOSA and put these uppity thugs back in their place?

And the Copsucker of the Year Award Goes To…

Today, the @HouseGOP passed a bill to REMOVE regulations limiting concealed carry rights for law enforcement officers. Whether on duty or off, these brave men and women always do what’s needed to protect our communities. They’ve earned the right to carry, and we’re making sure they can do so to keep both themselves and our communities safe. [More]

And we saw how many came to our aid after LEOSA passed.

“Earned.” Good grief, Ronny.

Now wipe your chin.

We’re the Only Ones Party Animals Enough

FBI officials, past and present, have marshaled significant evidence via whistleblower complaints and testimony indicating that several terminated leaders routinely used their offices for partisan purposes. [More]

Will they still enjoy LEOSA benefits? Be nice if somebody told the administration to make sure losing them was part of the deal…

We’re the Only Ones Fired Enough

Six Out Of Seven Executive Assistant Directors and 25 Special Agents in Charge Out at FBI According to FBI Whistleblower [More]

Weigh in if you know this: Will they still be covered by LEOSA?

We’re the Only Ones Nationwide Enough

REMEMBER: Next week House Republicans are preparing to vote on a bill to advance nationwide POLICE ONLY gun privileges. [More]

There’s a reason they call ’em The Stupid Party…

We’re the Only Ones Exceptional Enough

A veteran Southern California police officer was identified Thursday as the man who opened fire inside a famed Orange County bar, leaving four dead, including the shooter. [More]

So he was exempt from the California handgun roster AND eligible for LEOSA…?

We’re the Only Ones Showing You Our Stinking Badges Enough

In exchange for the campaign donations, the feds allege Jenkins appointed the men auxiliary deputies, which allowed them to carry concealed firearms in all 50 states without obtaining a permit. [More]

What could go wrong?

And guess who promotes nationwide LE-only concealed carry…

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.
