Press conference or not, we still get the nasty headline

3:16pm Sunday, May 18, 2003
Despite the fact that it was the Million Mom March who held a tasteless press conference before the victim of the Case Western shooting was even laid to rest, the headline on this Sunday's Letters to the Editor page in the Cleveland Plain Dealer shouted: "Gun backers are quick to spin every tragedy" Under the twisted headline, they published four letters on the CWRU shooting. Only one was...

Should we judge by society's worst examples?

5:40pm Thursday, May 15, 2003
After Tacoma, Washington Police Chief David Brame murdered his estranged wife and then committed suicide, we wondered aloud about whether Ohio's law enforcement bureaucrats wished to be judged by the worst example of themselves. The media did not focus on this question in the case of Chief Brame, nor will they focus on the background of Case Western Reserve University shooter Biswanath Halder...

Translating Toby: Senate testimony full of holes

10:30am Thursday, May 15, 2003
Toby Hoover, executive director Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, said a mouthful in yesterday's Senate testimony , as did her anti-self-defense partner from the Brady Campaign in Washington D.C., John Shanks. Unfortunately, the truth and their testimony seem to have parted company before they entered the hearing room. Commentary by Chad D. Baus inserted in blue . One of Toby and Shanks'...

PD reporter: Objectivity only possible if both sides hold press conference

5:08pm Tuesday, May 13, 2003
Approximately 12 hours after the Case Western Reserve University shooting, Ohioans For Concealed Carry issued a brief remark concerning the tragedy , explaining our belief that to comment before all the facts were known (and while the families of dead and injured were still grieving) would be totally inappropriate. We also predicted that the anti-self-defense activists would observe no such...

Law enforcement bureaucrats: What's good for my spouse not good for yours

12:54pm Thursday, May 08, 2003
Anti-self-defense extremists are an interesting bunch. Much of their objection to the private use of handguns stems from the phobic belief that guns in the hands of the "untrained" are unavoidable tragedies simply waiting to occur. This opinion has been taken by a minority of Ohio's law enforcement bureaucrats. Despite all the proof that rank-and-file cops support CCW, and despite all the...

Gannett News Service: FOP police labor union speaks

5:43pm Thursday, May 01, 2003
An article covering Senate action on HB12 has been filed by Jim Siegel for the Gannett News Service today, and will be appearing in multiple central Ohio newspapers over the next 72 hours. The Ohio Chamber of Commerce (normally known as a more conservative, pro-business lobbying group) is towing a Million Mom March line by inferring that CCW at work would create an OSHA (the Occupational Safety...

Complicit media warns: Bill would allow concealed weapons in parking lots!

3:22pm Thursday, May 01, 2003
You'd think it was another case of SARS. We've been warning for two months that anti-self-defense extremists were testing a new spin in their fight against concealed carry reform, by claiming that " companies in virtually every industry will be adversely affected if a concealed carry weapons bill passes in Ohio ". Ohio's liberally-dominated media outlets (such as the Youngstown Vindicator, the...
