Virginia – Page 8 – The War on Guns

By the Numbers

The Virginia Health Department has launched a new dashboard on firearm injuries. [More]

It’s almost like the problem isn’t with guns at all, but with populations most directly impacted by collectivist government policies…

Wrong-Thinking is Punishable

Board of Health calls commissioner’s comments an ‘embarrassment’ [More]

The embarrassment should be on those holding the inquisition and demanding those they fraudulently smear as heretics recant.

Where they attribute “inequities” to “systemic racism,” an impartial analysis might call personal lifestyle choices to attention, and what they call “gun violence” is just a calculated violence monopolist propaganda point.

I figured out what this “board” reminds me of.

Yes to Yesli

Yesli Vega wins GOP nomination to challenge Spanberger in 7th [More]

I’m told she returned VCDL’s candidate survey and “rated strongly pro-gun rights,” but their PAC can’t endorse federal candidates. That seems kind of self-limiting.

In any case, Spanberger is the goddam enemy.

New Dominion

After Uvalde Mass Murder, Fairfax County Passes Resolution Asking General Assembly to Ban Assault Weapons, Grant Localities More Authorities to Regulate Guns [More]

And Jorge helped!

What I want to know is if Glenn Youngkin will pledge to veto it.

I see his answer to my concern is a solid “No!”

UPDATE: Same goes for this, from a familiar headcase.

Telling It Like It Is

We have fathers who aren’t home. We have emasculated our men. Our children are at stake. You notice that these shooters, they have had family problems. The Parkland shooter – 37 times police were called to his home. It’s not the gun. [More]

I like the way Sears talks.

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.
