Vance Luther Boelter - The War on Guns

That’ll Teach Us!

Walz says Minnesota should consider banning guns at State Capitol, in wake of shootings [More]

Because of the guy who said he was doing the Tampon Man’s bidding?

And for everybody, or just for his employers?

The Blame Game

In short, Boelter is just a wacko. His letter is a testament to his fractured mind, not a manifesto of political grievance. The media’s rush to blame conservatives and the governor’s passive complicity in allowing false narratives to spread are failures that demand scrutiny. The truth matters, and in this case, it exposes a grotesque distortion of reality by those eager to score political points amid a horrific crime. [More]

What’d I say?

Not that reality stops other wackos.

Just Here for the Ratio

Gun extremists have long sold the idea that guns are for fighting tyranny—and anyone who disagrees with them on anything is a tyrant. But that’s not how it works.

Threatening government officials is not patriotism. It’s a rejection of democracy itself.https://t.co/YVKk3FGbYt

Anybody see them object to this by one of theirs?

Sometimes All You Can Do is Infer

There is something truly bizarre about these Minnesota Democrat shootings The cops weren’t supposed to show up while the assassin was at Melissa Hortman’s home It made the shooter rush out and now it seems like they’re cleaning up the crime scene to frame it as something different Just bizarre [More]

Not another “conspiracy nut“…

No One Here But Us Conspiracy Nuts…?

Well, I’m shocked to see that the conspiracy nuts are at it again in the comment section. How about letting the investigation play out to find out the true motiv…oh that’s right, many of the commentators on this forum only believe investigations when they go their way. [More]

I wonder what other official narratives this voice of reason swallows whole.

Related UPDATE

In the absence of an official narrative, people will ask questions and try to connect dots. And because truths are not forthcoming, mistakes that put others at risk are made.

You know, the Greatest Threat…

I suspected the Tim Walz appointment might not mean what hopefuls were thinking and felt the need to clarify that regardless, he wasn’t on “our side.”

Like Democrats are claiming…

No One But Perpetrator of Shooting Attacks on Minnesota Lawmakers Will Be the One Responsible

No Constitutionalist, that is, no believer in due process, would set himself up as judge, jury, and executioner. [More]

If it was him, then it wasn’t you and it wasn’t me. And it certainly wasn’t Donald Trump.

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.
