San Antonio - The War on Guns

We’re the Only Ones Revising Enough

The Rockport Police Department said Kasberg was under investigation for an invasive recording case of a teenager from a November incident at a motel. [More]

So it wasn’t the gun’s fault?

We’re the Only Ones Vigorous Enough

A then teenager who was shot back in 2022 by a San Antonio Police officer while eating a hamburger in the parking lot of a North Side McDonald’s is suing the former officer and the City of San Antonio… The claims asserted are without merit and we will vigorously defend the City in this litigation. [More]

Way to try and weasel-word your way out of complicity, spokesflack Andy. You guys were responsible for training your dog before you unleashed him on the public.

It’s just too bad the legal costs and settlement will be covered by taxpayer-funded insurance.

Messin’ with Texas

‘Evil’ super gang seizes four apartment complexes in major Texas city in new terrifying show of strength [More]

I’d say pulling this in the home of the Alamo is a big mistake, but then again, look at how Bexar County votes.

More Blood on NRA’s Hands

San Antonio police said the shooting occurred near the stage on Conch Alley, where an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old fired at each other… [More]

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess the “greatest threat” had nothing to do with this.

Now the Real Work Begins

GOP Congressman Tony Gonzales forced into runoff by Brandon Herrera in District 23 [More]

There’s still a huge gap to fill.

It’s up to gun owners in that district to learn the truth and share it. If they keep rewarding Vichycons, the GOP has no incentive to change.

We’re the Only Ones Getting Our Pull-Ups in a Wad Enough

A San Antonio police officer arrested last month on a possession of child pornography charge admitted to performing sex acts on children as young as three years old…[More]

WWVTD?

We Got Kicked Out of a Gun Buyback [Watch]

I’m liking this guy more and more, but I still need him to clarify something.

This Oughta Solve Nothing

San Antonio, Texas to host ‘first-ever’ gun buyback so people can buy ‘food’ and ‘Christmas presents’ [More]

“Courage,” eh…?

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.
