teens - The War on Guns

Not the ‘Leading Cause’

Adolescents & Firearms: America’s Most Inflated Crisis [More]

Now show results for two-parent homes and location.

This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

Chaos reigned at the grand opening of Six Flags Over Georgia … with mobs of unruly teenagers fighting inside the theme park, escalating to a massive police response and an officer-involved shooting. [More]

Well, I know where I’m not going.

Something tells me “poverty” and “systemic racism” are the least of these kids’ problems.

The Bloom of Yutes

After reading a story about a recent murder, the idea occurred to me, why not just Google “teens arrested”? [More]

Then compare them to who Google represents as “teens“…

And then ask what the hell the agenda is of the adults making money off of Teen Vogue…

Uh… Did You Say ‘Yutes’?

3 Teens Arrested, 10 Guns Confiscated By Tampa Police [More]

But no worries! At the end of the article we find police are giving away “free” gun locks!

Someone ought to do a correlation study to prove that “teens” is a racist code word.

For the Children

Toddler dies in accidental shooting with unsecured gun… This comes just a few months after the new safe storage laws, [More]

Go gun laws!

Funny, how they’re light on all the details that would show this is not your typical American household, but instead focus on the calculated misrepresentation and lie that “According to the CDC guns are the number one cause of death in American children.”

Oh, look: Children!

Youth Must Be Served

Alabama Sweet 16 shooting: 6th suspect, a 15-year-old, arrested
Six suspects in Dadeville, Alabama, Sweet 16 shooting now facing 4 counts of reckless murder [More]

“Teens” sure have come a long way since Archie and Jughead.

Of course, Archie and Jughead have come a long way, too.

I’ve always been a Starchie man, myself…

We Are Not Amused

124-Year-Old Amusement Park Is Not Safe According To D.A., May Not Open On Schedule [More]

And there’s a man who knows a thing or two about “unsafe.”

[Via Remarks]

Aspiring Breathers is Fine, Too

Father shoots 2 teen suspects trying to rob SUV while wife, babies inside in NW Harris County, HCSO says [More]

Civil suit in 3…2…1…

I’m just wondering when “teen” is going to be deemed offensive and what it will be replaced by.

Something in Common

Police say the 14-year-old is currently on probation for robbery with a weapon, burglary and criminal mischief. He was also previously arrested for making threats of harm with a weapon to another juvenile through social media. [More]

And:

Records show all the teens are already on juvenile probation. They have 25 prior felonies and 25 misdemeanor charges between the three of them. [More]

It’s almost like they have no respect for a system that won’t hold them accountable…

Now tell me with a straight face this doesn’t prove the need for universal background checks!

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.
