We’re the Only Ones Inseminating Enough

Farwell allegedly killed Birchmore after being told that she was pregnant and that he was the father. [More]

This is one of the more evil and cowardly acts of exploitation and violent betrayal I’ve ever read about, starting with grooming an impressionable young girl.

We’re the Only Ones Heinous Enough

Officer Javar Downs of the @LMPD was arrested today after he allegedly stole $4K he seized from a suspect being booked into jail. Additionally he was one of 3 officers who didn’t turn on their bodycams during the arrest of Scottie Scheffler. [More]

Kinda makes you want to go right out there and Back the Blue, doesn’t it?

We’re the Only Ones Misidentifying Enough

Two Alaska state troopers charged with assault after violently arresting wrong person [More]

Realize what you’re dealing with. Unless you are prepared to physically prevail and then escape without being identified, don’t argue and obey. Once you’re safe come at them with a lawyer — that is, unless you are prepared to physically prevail and then escape without being identified.

We’re the Only Ones Temporary Enough

Police Cannot Seize Property Indefinitely After an Arrest, Federal Court Rules [More]

We need a court order to tell us they’re not allowed to steal?

Can we expect them to appeal?

We’re the Only Ones Youth-Oriented Enough

Ex-NY cop, 40, convicted of raping 13-year-old girl gets just 10 weekends in jail: ‘Epitome of injustice’ [More]

That special training can really pay off, no?

We’re the Only Ones Planting Enough

Former Alabama police officer agrees to plead guilty to planting drugs before bogus traffic stop [More]

Again with “former.” The only reason is because the stupid, evil bastard got caught. And 40, eh? So he’s been preying on victims for how long?

Tell us again about badge heaviness, George.

We’re the Only Ones Unqualified Enough

The Second Circuit has ruled that a Connecticut police officer is not entitled to qualified immunity after handcuffing, detaining, and conducting a warrantless search on the plaintiff’s car because they “presented a facially valid firearms permit and disclosed that he possessed a firearm pursuant to the permit” [More]

Pity there’s no way to send Nicholas Andrzejewski my regards…

We’re the Only Ones Punchy Enough

Officer With Violent History Fired After Attacking Prisoner on Video [More]

Going with what experience tells him works…

We’re the Only Ones Porcine Enough

Without government who would point guns at an unarmed woman, break her vehicle's window, drag her to the ground, arrest her, and hold her in jail for 5 days for an expired registration sticker?

Even worse, it was the chief of police that did this…

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.
