Op-Ed: Assault Weapons and the Truth

7:00am Wednesday, December 15, 2010
The Obama administration has nominated an anti-gun zealot as the U.S.'s top gun cop. The Obama administration is moving into high gear in putting gun-control advocates into important government positions. The administration's nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), Andrew Traver, should be of particular concern. His attacks on the civilian use of so-called...

Restoration of Rights: A case study on why the Ohio House should hold a vote and pass SB247 this week

7:00am Tuesday, December 07, 2010
by J.A.W. There are decisions we face as humans that can and will define our lives. For me, that decision took place in March of 1999. I allowed another person to talk me into signing for a package of marijuana delivered to my apartment. Now, I knew exactly what was going to be in the package, and I also knew that it was against the law. For reasons that still to this day I do not understand, I...

Time to give thanks for our great natural resources

7:00am Wednesday, November 24, 2010
by Larry S. Moore The upcoming Thanksgiving Day and the holiday season is a time that I pause to give thanks each year. Typically this time of year my spare time is spent in the field hunting. Of course the Ohio deer season provides ample time for reflection from my deer stand. Whether or not game is harvested, there is always something to celebrate for my time spent outdoors. I often listen to...

Guns N' Moses: The necessity of an armed citizenry

7:00am Friday, November 19, 2010
by Charlie Earl This is not a retrospective on the life of Axl Rose, although he may be nearly as old as Moses. This entry is an exploration of the necessity for an armed citizenry.

Obviously, one of the primary reasons...

How strong thy gun vote: Pro-gun candidates rake in more votes, regardless of party

7:00am Thursday, November 18, 2010
by Jim Irvine After every election, people and groups of all political stripes and issues look at numbers and try to make a case for their side. Without taking political sides, there are some interesting aspects in this year's election for those willing to take an honest look at the raw numbers.

Visiting Chinese businessman could teach a thing or two about the freedoms too many take for granted

7:00am Tuesday, November 16, 2010
by Tom Woitovich As I lay awake on the eve of this election, my mind wandered. I prayed for the electorate of our great country, that we would make good decisions on who we would put in office, and for those governing us, that they would make wise decisions in the coming years.
