Who is to blame when children have accidents with guns?

12:10am Thursday, August 09, 2007
By Chad D. Baus It's all too familiar a story : A 12-year-old boy was critically injured Tuesday night after he was shot in the chest by a gun that was found in the street. Police said the boy and a 10-year-old friend found the loaded weapon in an alley behind the 300 block of South Napoleon Avenue on the city's east side. "One child, the 10-year-old, was shot in the hand," said Columbus police...

The history of gun control, part 3

12:05am Monday, July 23, 2007
By Sandy Froman Sadly, modern history is full of instances where the anti-gun left tries to capitalize on tragedy and fear to push their agenda. Sometimes the push is immediate, while at other times they lay in wait gathering strength until an opportune time, like the evil Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter novels. Those who support the Bill of Rights need to be aware of these tactics so we can...

Book Review: Dr. John R. Lott's ''Freedomnomics''

12:10am Wednesday, July 18, 2007
By Chad D. Baus For most firearms enthusiasts, the name John Lott is synonymous with one thing: More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun-Control Laws . When that book hit the market in 1998, it quickly became recognized as what is perhaps the best critique of gun control ever written.

Our Gun Legacy - Good or Bad?

12:05am Monday, July 16, 2007
By James D. Cool Have you ever thoughtfully considered just how we got to where we are regarding the gun issue? Our nation was founded and evolved as a uniquely free society during the same time period that modern firearms were invented and became readily available due to the industrial revolution.

The history of gun control, part 2

12:10am Wednesday, July 11, 2007
By Sandy Froman Until Lyndon Johnson came to the White House in 1963 following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, gun control was simply not a national issue. There were no significant federal gun control laws on the books, and the NRA was a shooter's organization that intentionally shied away from any political involvement. All of that changed with the 1968 assassinations of Sen...

Shooting Sports Revealed as a Favorite Seasonal Activity

12:05am Wednesday, July 11, 2007
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - The Papers of...

The history of gun control, part 1

June 7, 2007 World Net Daily By Sandy Froman Philosopher George Santayana said that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. It's true. One of the reasons to study history is to avoid repeating past mistakes. When it comes to freedom, we cannot afford to forget the lessons of the past. So you and I need to know the history of gun control, because history teaches us there is...

It isn't often that a politician admits he was wrong. It is even less often that a politician acts on his new convictions so immediately and publicly as has Rep. Michael DeBose (D - Cleveland) in the weeks since he was made victim by armed criminals in an attempted mugging last month. Buckeye Firearms Association is pleased to report that on June 8th and 9th, Rep. Debose, his wife and 10...
