It’s the Guns?

Vermont Resettled Somalis, Shootings Are Up 185% – Half the shootings in Burlington, VT were linked to immigrants. [More]

Rigorous!

Remember when it was called “Vermont carry” and we could confidently point to a negligble crime rate?

The Green Mountain Grift

Gun rights groups sue Vermont over two firearms laws – The lawsuit challenges the state’s newly passed 72-hour waiting period for firearms purchases and a ban on high-capacity magazines that became law in 2018. [More]

I remember when permitless carry was called “Vermont carry” and it set the standard.

I wonder what Ethan Allen would think of Democrats.

And Vichycon swine.

Securing the Blessings of Liberty, Totalitarian-Style

Vermont Range Owner Will Wallow in State Prison Until His Range Is Torn Down [More]

Just like the Founders intended.

Writer José Niño had asked me to comment on this and I told him I would– before my descent into computer hell.

I figure the least I can do to make up for not being able to follow through is to send a few eyeballs over.

How long has the range been there?

Colleague José Niño examines the varied and in-your-face ways states are getting away with undermining the right to keep and bear arms and gets some quotes from one of my favorite people along the way…

Ah, another “former” NRA A-rater who decided he could live with 17%…

What would Ethan Allen think?

T h e t r e a c h e r o u s w e a s e l wouldn’t dare open the door.

If It Ain’t Broke, Fix It

Not Good! Anti-2A Group Targeting Constitutional Carry [Watch]

The state that imposed Bernie Sanders on the rest of the Republic? The grabbers will no doubt tout disarming the sheep as a great victory for “gun sense.”

I’m sure the folks responsible for this will fall right into line.

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.
