subway - The War on Guns

Emperor of the North

Homeless man, 69, won’t face charges after stabbing thugs who terrorized him on subway, killing 1: DA [More]

Hats off to A No.1.

Schadenfreude X 2

Layla Law-Gisiko, president of the City Club of New York, which sued Gov. Kathy Hochul to implement the unpopular toll for motorists driving into Manhattan, said she was left bruised and battered after the Saturday afternoon attack at the 23rd Street station. [More]

So, someone who wants to “make gun control an absolute PRIORITY???!!!” found herself defenseless in a situation she wants to force more people into?

I’m trying to find some sympathy. I know I left it lying around here someplace…

I don’t suppose the French or Tunisians want her back…?

Just What the People Voted For

Knife-wielding maniac with 87 priors on the loose in NYC after two subway stabbings, cops say [More]

Tell me it doesn’t matter that they’ve caught him without telling me it doesn’t matter that they’ve caught him.

A Burning Question

Public can’t access fire extinguishers in subway system — and MTA has no plans to change that after horrific murder of woman on F train [More]

What, the one where the useless “Ony Ones” just walked past it while others were askling why aspiring Daniel Penny’s didn’t step forward?

If “Amelia Carter” really is an invented meme (and why wouldn’t we believe “fact-checkers“?) why don’t we know who the “the woman” really was?

A Thousand Points of Light Plus One

Guatemalan migrant suspected of setting a sleeping NYC woman subway rider on fire is arrested [More]

“Why did no one stop him?” some may ask…

Fun facts to know and tell…

And what’s with “migrant“…?

UPDATE

Chilling video shows NYC subway migrant ‘killer’ watching as woman he set on fire burns alive and cops walk past [More]

Back the Blue like they back you.

A Public/Private Partnership

Federal prosecutors seek records from company that deployed AI weapons scanner on NYC subway… In October, the city revealed the scanners did not detect any passengers with firearms — but falsely alerted more than 100 times. [More]

Sounds every bit the economic fascism boondogle ShotSpotter has proven to be…

New York, New York, It’s a Wonderful Town

More Worried About the Optics

Gov. Kathy Hochul has pulled back the big guns in her subway safety surge, ordering the National Guard not to carry military-grade assault rifles when they check riders’ bags for weapons. [More]

So are those reserved for her timecard cheating security detail?

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.
