“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

The gunnularity draws closer, as yet another gun mysteriously fires itself . . . .

“I was advised a Ruger LC9s semi automatic 9 mm pistol was lying in the console area of the vehicle as (the man, the child and the grandfather) were sitting in the vehicle,” Hatton said in a report. “At some point, the pistol discharged and passed through the console, striking (the child) in both legs and striking (the father) in the left leg approximately three inches above the knee. The bullet lodged in (the father’s leg).”

(Yeah. Right.)

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!).
