Philadelphia - The War on Guns

I Like the Nightlife Baby

Meet Philly’s new director of nightlife [More]

Somehow, these “patrons” don’t strike me as The Cars fans…

Is that what it is?

Don’t Be Stupid, Be a Smarty…

“The message here is simple: Don’t be stupid. Actions like this have very serious and life-changing consequences,” Krasner said in a statement. [More]

So Soros prosecutor Larry’s “smart” solution is to let killers walk.

Commie Police Statist Spits on Independence on Independence Day

Philadelphia shooting: Democrat mayor rips Second Amendment, says only the police should have guns – Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said the US should be more like Canada [More]

Because the “Only Ones” have proven over the years just how right he is, right?

I mean, Jim Kenney said it, I believe it, that settles it.

Just what the hell was it this subversive swore an oath to when he assumed office?

As for being like Canada, armed citizens refusing to bend to tyrants were the “only ones” who kept that from happening or we would have been.

The City of Brothaly Love

Dozens of gunshots erupted in the Philadelphia neighborhood of Point Breeze last Thursday, scattering terrified people in the middle of a normal evening, killing two and wounding two. The sights and sounds of the shooting were captured on a Ring surveillance camera. People can be seen and heard screaming, running, falling and crying out after being shot. [More]

If this doesn’t convince selfish gun owners to give them all up for the good of everyone, nothing will.

It’s Called ‘Projection’

The left love to blame Republicans for the actions of the Democratic base [More]

Hence the violent hellholes known as “Bloomberg cites“…

The Predator Sanctuary

“…they’re not sure if that person was hit but they did drop their semiautomatic handgun with an extended magazine…” [Watch]

The “real reporter” made sure he got the important part in. The not-so-important stuff, like who the public dangers were, they left unmentioned.

Surveillance and a police presence no longer deter. And they’re ginning up demand that “something must be done,” which translates into more “laws” against you, since talking real solutions puts those who do on the fast track for cancellation.

UPDATE:

Yeah, well…

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.
