The War on Guns

Merry Christmas, 2025

I thank all of you who have given me the gift of your time and wisdom, whether it has been by sending me stories to help illustrate the preciousness of rights endowed by our Creator, by sending a word of encouragement, by educating and helping me grow (either by confirming or correcting my assumptions), or by sharing my links, encouraging me to continue the work.

My Christmas wish for you is that you have as much love in your life as I have been fortunate to find in mine. It surely beats all the riches in the world.

Now: What in the world are you doing here?

It’s Christmas. And if you don’t celebrate it, indulge those of us who do.

Go be with the ones you love. If there is no one you love, go fix that. Go do something loving for someone.

Merry Christmas.

Have You Seen This ‘Man’?

American tourist eviscerated online for leaving female companion to fight off robber [More]

The evisceration would be better if he were identified. My money says he’ll turn out to be an anti-gun Democrat.

Yeah, I’ll judge. What a coward.

Those who hate men and throw around terms like “toxic masculinity” to smear those with chests have it backwards– this is the poison. And it seems to be what young “liberal” American women want, at least until reality pulls out a meat fork.

Those who would disarm us demand a nation of geldings. Those who accommodate them without defiance and resistance are no countrymen of mine.

It’s Only Commie Sense

Thousands of guns are found at crime scenes. What do they tell us? [More]

There aren’t enough custodians for Democrat constituents?

Makes more sense than the takeaway NPR and Moms Demand are spreading, that we have to ban Glocks, S&Ws, Taurus, and Ruger.

Once More Unto the Breach

DOJ to Illinois Gun Owners: Write Your Democrat Legislators to Repeal Infringements

Points brought to the DOJ’s attention in the FOID card complaint:

The reason for the law was to dissuade minorities (specifically African Americans during a time of racial riots/unrest and distrust amongst racial groups and law enforcement) from seeking police permission to legally own firearms.
Funding for FOID cards and carry licenses is used now as a “piggy bank” by the IL General Assembly to fund other projects, leading to delays in processing (with a documented case of a 20-month wait).
A woman with no criminal record was charged with a crime for possessing a single-shot rifle in her home without a FOID.

And, of course, the government punted.

Well, now that DOJ has announced it’s new Second Amendment Rights Section, the complaint has been resubmitted to see if it gets different results this time around.

My prediction is they’re still using the same soft soap.

A False Argument

As seen in reader comment at Fox News:

You can rest assured if Trump was involved, even in the least way these files would have been released during the 4 years that Biden had them

That’s a narrative defenders of the indefensible are using, and it’s bull$#!+. Files weren’t released under Biden because it’s a Mutually Assured Destruction pact where top Democrats — and donors/cronies both parties are beholden to — would also be exposed.

The Democrats screaming loudest for full release are the new radicals out to replace the Old Guard, who stand to benefit by unseating tenured rivals.

This reminds me of nothing so much as this.

Democrats and the media smell blood and they’re going for it. As far as the mid-terms go:

Not if it’s qualified as being about culturalism. Then it becomes existentially essential.

I’m starting to like this Casey guy more and more.

Limited Posts Ahead

It’s Christmas week and I’ve got a lot of family stuff to do. Please hold off on news tips.

I’ll still be doing some posting, mostly today and Friday, and I’ll probably get to some, but I don’t want anyone to feel like their contributions are ignored and unappreciated– it’s just that I can’t promise I’ll be able to do anything with them.

Casey at the Bat

I like this guy’s style and outlook. He’s got a good handle on just about everything.

I’d feel better if his platform actually mentioned what I consider to be the most important indicator for freedom– yeah, I see the photo when you scroll to the bottom of him with a Fudd gun, but some of us need more than that.

Like more of this.

I included an overview of Vivek’s 2A position here. It’s unproven how serious he would be about matching the rhetoric with actions.

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.
