Op-Ed: Let's All Surrender Our Weapons -- You First!

12:10am Thursday, April 16, 2009
By Ann Coulter The rash of recent shooting incidents has led people who wouldn't know an AK-47 from a paintball gun to issue demands for more restrictions on guns. To be sure, it's hard to find any factor in these shootings that could be responsible -- other than the gun. So far, this year's public multiple shootings were committed by: -- Richard Poplawski, 23, product of a broken family,...

The futility of gun control: Another Plain Dealer columnist "gets it"

12:10am Wednesday, April 15, 2009
By Chad D. Baus When it comes to the futility of addressing the epidemic of inner-city violence with impotent gun control laws, it would seem there are at least a two people at the Cleveland Plain Dealer who "get it." Last year Plain Dealer columnist Regina Brett's series on the thug culture earned her title as a top-three finalist for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize in Commentary , and since then she...

Diane Sawyer rigs mass shooting experiment on 20/20

by Dean Rieck
12:10am Tuesday, April 14, 2009
Do you think it's a good idea to be armed during a mass shooting? Diane Sawyer and the producers of ABC's 20/20 aren't so sure. In fact, on Friday, April 10, 2009, Sawyer spent a full hour trying desperately to prove how dangerous guns are and how ordinary people can't possibly defend themselves with firearms. The show's snarky title: "If I Only Had A Gun." Slanted information filled the report,...

The Akron Beacon Journal reported late last week that Summit County officials are attempting to prohibit the county's 3900 non-law enforcement workers from having a firearm or handgun with them anytime they are working or doing county business, even if they are traveling in a personal vehicle.

Exposed: The lie behind Obama's gun ban campaign

12:10am Friday, April 10, 2009
By Tim Inwood During the Presidential campaign, Senator Barack Obama told gun owners we had nothing to fear from him. Most of us did not believe him. Now that he is President, his actions have shown we were right to doubt him. Since February, the true intent of the Obama administration has become very clear. They intend to ban self-loading firearms and high capacity magazines. Within a month of...

As Americans get to know the man they elected, guns & ammo grow scarce

12:10am Thursday, April 09, 2009
By Chad D. Baus When Governor Ted Strickland (then a Congressman) took John Kerry goose hunting during the 2004 Presidential campaign, we recognized it for what it was - an obligatory photo op by a popular pro-gun Democrat to help a fellow anti-gun Democrat look less dangerous.
