The logical conclusion of the gun ban lobby's rhetoric: Ban everything

Concealed carry debate delivered four times the communication as collective bargaining bill; CCW still portrayed as fringe issue

7:00am Wednesday, April 20, 2011
by Gerard Valentino The Ohio media and anti-Second Amendment politicians are notorious for trying to portray gun rights as a fringe issue pushed by a small vocal minority.
