Public records show scant participation in Cleveland's voluntary gun registration scheme; Police unaware of any crimes solved

7:00am Wednesday, August 31, 2011
by Larry S. Moore On May 25, 2011, the City of Cleveland finally lost in the attempt to be a medieval city/state and continue to flaunt Ohio's statewide preemption of gun laws. However, since the city leadership never met a gun control scheme they didn't like, they soon concocted a voluntary handgun registration program . The process involved: Applicants will need to bring a photo identification...

Society of Professional Journalists ethics committee chair takes dim view of advocacy journalism at Columbus Dispatch and beyond
