This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

The ATF has a regional office in Kansas City, Missouri. What are they going to do, follow the special agents when they leave to inspect gun shows and try and throw them in jail? Logically, it would seem the ATF would have to move its office to Iowa, maybe, because Kansas seceded too. This is so absurd it’s almost beyond description, the fact that the legislature, including cowardly Democrats, would pass a law that is unconstitutional to allegedly defend the part of the same constitution they think needs defending at the level of their state. Rational people would desire to punch them in the mouth and ask “what’s wrong with you people?” But that would be rhetorical because we know what’s wrong with them. They’re angry white men driven into apoplectic rage by the existence of a black president and they have deluded themselves into thinking some undefined majority in the country is behind them.

I’m not so sure whether they think an “undefined majority” is behind them, though they easily could if they stay in the wingnut bubble or the teabagger teapot, or whether they sense that they must take a last desperate stand.
For bigotry, of course, there is ultimately no last stand, just a series of metamorphoses. But there is still a whiff of insane fanaticism in the over-the-topness of current teabaggery.
