squatters - The War on Guns

We’re the Only Ones Accomodating Enough

Upside Down World: Police Arrest Homeowner for Evicting Squatter… A deputy condescendingly lectured Hale, “Just think of it from this perspective, though. Everybody isn’t as fortunate as you to have a bed. All the little things, a bed in their house, food in the kitchen.” [More]

If the law does nothing but turn citizens into criminals, why would anyone be “law-abiding”? Fear?

That works both ways and guess who has the numbers…

Arizona, Take Off Your Rainbow Shades*

An Arizona grand jury has indicted former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows, lawyer Rudy Giuliani and 16 others in an election interference case related to the 2020 presidential vote [More]

Funny, how when they make accusations they’re suddenly not “baseless.”

Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has vetoed a bill aimed at strengthening the rights of homeowners looking to evict squatters from their property, despite the bill being passed in bipartisan fashion and as a wave of squatting cases continue to terrify homeowners across the country. [More]

Serves the selfish racists right.

And yes, of course communists Mayes and Hobbs want all the guns for themselves.

But how did Arizona get this way…?

And what’s that got to do with guns?

* (Earlier this month a WoG Correspondent asked me if some of the old “pop culture” stuff I reference would be lost on younger readers. I figure you can’t please everybody, and there’s not much I can do if someone doesn’t know something and is too incurious to look it up…)

Democrat Crime and Immigration Policies Put Constituents Who Voted for Them at Risk

Excuse Me While I Go on a Rant

Georgia man finds squatters in his home, calls police, gets arrested for home invasion [More]

Sounds like a case for justifiable use of force to me. The “Only Ones” who would stop it are the ones whose sole purpose is “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

Without that there is no consent of the governed.

I’m particularity sensitive to the state favoring parasites because this happens to coincide with my receiving a letter from the county mandating a huge increase in my property taxes. So allow me to segue into something tangentially related.

For a supposedly Republican state, all my reps from City Council on up sure are quiet about this. I went looking for organized tax protesters and the closest thing I could find was an Ohio Tea Party Facebook group with fewer followers than I have that’s totally focused on Donald Trump memes.

The one state senator I did find offering a tepid way to recalculate reappraisals and focused on farms was sabotaged by Republican “leadership.” I’m thinking it was probably all noise anyway, because I see the same “conservative” co-sponsored SENATE BILL 54, to “Establish the New African Immigrants Grant and Gift Fund.”

The GOP is tone deaf. And suicidal.

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.
