Profiling an Active Killer

by Ron Borsch
7:00am Wednesday, October 31, 2018
What motivates a person to become a mass killer? Using reason and logic may only give us a headache as we try to deduce the motive of an unreasonable and illogical rogue human. It may not be any easier if he survives. Profiling such a rogue would be difficult for most. Their motives can be as complicated as they are. Some surviving active killers have described a real or imagined wrong done to...

7:00am Tuesday, October 30, 2018
A trauma research team has developed a profile of commonalities among communities where mass shootings have occurred that includes a shortage of mental health professionals, a relative lack of socialization opportunities, higher rates of income inequality, and relatively high housing costs. ...

Get out the pro-gun rights vote

by Jim Irvine
3:00pm Monday, October 29, 2018
It’s cliché but true. Whoever gets their people out to vote will win the election. If nothing else, President Trump’s win in 2016 proved that using past models to predict elections is a failed idea. Trump won Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. No Republican candidate has taken those three states since Ronald Reagan won 49 states in 1984, setting a record with 525 electoral votes. The same is...

by Larry Keane
7:00am Monday, October 29, 2018
Ever want to know what a politician really thinks about gun ownership? Just listen to what they say when they don’t think you’re listening. We’ve been given a case study this week thanks to Project Veritas . U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) has claimed to support Second Amendment freedoms, but she cleared up any doubt when she was caught on camera saying she’d support a ban on modern sporting...

Study Finds Fewer People Willing to Answer Questions about Gun Ownership

7:00am Friday, October 26, 2018
A common thought (maybe even a rational one) is that gun owners hesitate to share their status as gun owners in surveys. It makes perfect sense, particularly in times of heightened concerns that anti-gun politicians are plotting to restrict our 2nd Amendment rights and the routine vilification of law-abiding gun owners by politicians, celebrities, and the media. A recent study confirmed that more...

“Armed and unarmed citizens engaged the shooter in 10 incidents. They safely and successfully ended the shootings in eight of those incidents. Their selfless actions likely saved many lives. The enhanced threat posed by active shooters and the swiftness with which active shooter incidents unfold support the importance of preparation by law enforcement officers and citizens alike.” Those are the...

It is two weeks till Election Day. November 6, 2018 is a critical day that will make possible or impossible many things for the next two years, and probably establish a trend for a longer period of time. In Ohio, there are eight statewide offices that Buckeye Firearms Association PAC has endorsed in. Some are obvious why they are important, and others are more subtle, but every election matters...

Ohio Gun Owners Should Vote Out Bad, Bad, Sherrod Brown

by Harold Hutchison
7:00am Monday, October 22, 2018
Some politicians have very bad records on the Second Amendment. We think of Charles Schumer and Dianne Feinstein very quickly in this regard. But there are some who have kept their anti-gun records below the radar. Jerrold Nadler, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, is one of them. Another is Senator Sherrod Brown from Ohio. In seven terms as a member of the House of...

7:00am Thursday, October 18, 2018
A twist on an inaccurate old anti-gun talking point is making the rounds on social media. On September 10, anti-gun public relations professional Wendy Zipes Hunter tweeted about a purported recent trip to drug store. Hunter claimed, “Couldn’t buy Claritin D today because my drivers license just expired - govt rule- wish the govt was that strict about buying guns.” The message reached a wider...

Oregon Teen Shoots Down Discriminatory Walmart Gun Policy

7:00am Wednesday, October 17, 2018
In what might come as a shock to the legacy press, it turns out there are plenty of young people who value their Second Amendment rights and are willing to fight for them. Case in point: 18-year-old Hannah Brumbles of Deer Island, Ore. Last week, the Beaver State’s Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) ruled in the young woman’s favor after she challenged a Walmart policy that denied shotgun and...

Ohio Supreme Court receives thousands of comments on proposed rules to seize guns

by Jim Irvine
7:00am Tuesday, October 16, 2018
On Monday, October 8 we reported that the Ohio Supreme Court (OSC) had proposed rule changes that would disarm and force those subject to a civil protection order to surrender firearms, ammunition, and concealed handgun license to law enforcement. This seizure would take place even if there is no "sufficient nexus," specifically evidence that a firearm was threatened to be used, used, or...

Surprise: Problems with Widely Touted Anti-Gun Research

7:00am Friday, October 12, 2018
“I am not interested in giving any serious thought to John Lott or his claims.” Those are the words of University of Alabama associate professor Adam Lankford in response to Fox News after economist John Lott called Lankford’s highly publicized study into question . Lankford’s study was published in 2016 but was touted by President Obama and a fawning media anxious for any “evidence” that gun...

7:00am Thursday, October 11, 2018
Levi Strauss & Co. established its brand in the mid-19th century by selling durable clothing to working-class Americans. As Levi’s signature jeans gained popularity amongst a wider set in the middle of the last century, the pants came to symbolize American freedom. As Stanford Historian Niall Ferguson points out in his book, Civilization: The West and the Rest, during the Cold War, the...

Help Make the Difference for Pro-Gun Candidates in Ohio

by Dean Rieck

This may be one of the most important elections of our lifetimes. Anti-freedom organizations are attacking gun owners and pro gun candidates from all directions. We're seeing it right here in Ohio.

Solve the Problem Before You Need Your Gun

by Greg Ellifritz
7:00am Wednesday, October 03, 2018
I was reading a news account of a defensive gun use when I was struck by two things. Before I get to my insights, read the short article: Armed Portland Woman Fends Off Flasher High on Crystal Meth . The article talks about a woman who drew a firearm after a man followed her home, forcefully entered her house, exposed himself, demanded a sex act, and then stole money from her before fleeing. This...

Gun Control Activist Urges Canadian Audience to Get Involved in U.S. Politics

7:00am Tuesday, October 02, 2018
For someone who has previously falsely accused the NRA of funneling foreign money into domestic politics, it must be that David Hogg either forgot he was in Canada recently or failed to appreciate that it’s also illegal under U.S. law for Canadian citizens to vote in U.S. elections or contribute to U.S. political campaigns. The occasion was the premiere of Michael Moore’s latest film at the...

by the BFA-PAC Endorsement Committee
7:00am Monday, October 01, 2018
Ohioans have a choice to make this November when selecting our next governor. After a year of non-stop anti-gun rights rhetoric from the media, and little progress toward restoring our rights, pro-gun rights voters must weigh who can be trusted to be a leader in our state on Second Amendment issues. Both Mike DeWine (R) and Richard Cordray (D) have spent time in Washington D.C. But since coming...
