Bloomberg's Everytown comes out from behind the curtain

For years, gun control organizations have been seeking to dismantle the bipartisan Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) . That’s the crucial federal law shielding firearms manufacturers and sellers from frivolous lawsuits designed to bankrupt law-abiding businesses by blaming them for the criminal misuse of lawfully sold firearms or drive the industry to its knees and impose gun...

Additional deer hunting, CWD testing in Hardin, Marion, Wyandot counties

Hunters in Hardin, Marion, and Wyandot counties will have additional opportunities to harvest white-tailed deer as the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife continues to monitor for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in the region. Since the fall of 2020, 23 wild deer in Ohio have tested positive for CWD, all in Marion and Wyandot counties, according to a Sept. 8 news release from...

Biden Administration continues to terrorize gun owners

In the legal world there is a Latin term in terrorem. The term is used to describe actions designed to intimidate or terrorize someone into a certain course of conduct, often in cases where the actual legal ability or willingness to demand that course of conduct are dubious. In short, rule through fear rather than legitimacy or the law. In terrorem is an apt descriptor for the Biden...

New Mexico governor declares emergency and bans concealed carry

On Friday, September 8, 2023, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) issued an emergency order banning the carry of firearms in Albuquerque and throughout Bernalillo County for at least 30 days. According to the New York Times , Grisham said, " ... the ban would be lifted at the end of 30 days, if the gun violence epidemic was over. But she added, 'I bet it’s not over in 30 days' and that the...

Arms Trade Treaty sets sights on global firearms industry

After almost 10 years of utter failure, the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) has shifted its focus. Once touted as the United Nation’s (UN) crown jewel in preventing and eradicating the illicit trade and diversion of conventional arms, last week’s Ninth Conference of States Parties (CSP9) served as an almost singularly focused attack on the global firearms industry. It was remarkable shift. The ATT’s...

Sen. Terry Johnson introduces BFA-backed SB 148 to prohibit tracking of firearms purchases

In September of last year, we reported that gun control extremists were pressuring credit card companies to track firearm sales through the use of "merchant category codes." Backers of this scheme made it clear that their goal was to use the codes to enact further gun control through a public-private partnership. In response, several states have enacted legislation prohibiting or discouraging...

New data says you stopped mass murder most of the time

We live in a media-driven culture. We also have government agencies putting out biased reports that serve their political masters. It is rare that the media even questions the agency reports. That wouldn’t matter, but many of us confuse media headlines with facts. I’ve seen people on Facebook say that there were hundreds of “mass shootings” this year and that our children are not safe in school...

Fellow Ohio hunters, beware of black-legged 'deer' ticks, Lyme disease

For as long as I can remember, I have looked forward to the start of hunting season every September. As hot and muggy as it might be, I still had to get out and at least scout my spots for fox squirrels. I could deal with mosquitoes, as much as I despise them. Lather on the DEET and throw on a head net and gloves, and I'm good to go. But if you haven't noticed, ticks are getting worse, and the...
