Op-ed: Thugs find it more difficult if populace is armed

12:05am Thursday, August 16, 2007
By Charl Van Wyck A gunman opened fire in the sanctuary of a southwest Missouri, USA, church Sunday Aug. 12, 2007, killing a pastor and two worshippers and wounding several others. My condolences go out to the local congregation, friends and family of the worshippers who were holding the service at the First Congregational Church.

Newsweek Photo Gallery: "One Nation, Under Gun"

12:10am Tuesday, August 14, 2007
Inspired by a dinner conversation with an ex-staffer for a 2004 Presidential candidate whose job it was to "wrangle" the gun vote, photographer Kyle Cassidy wanted to find out who gun owners are, what they look like and how they live. So he traveled 15,000 miles over the course of two years taking pictures of people with their weapons and asking them one question: 'Why do you own a gun?' His new...

Drive-by media quotes ''study'' on drive-bys; Refuses to print response

12:05am Thursday, August 09, 2007
A recent story in the Xenia Gazette, entitled "Ohio fifth on list of states with most drive-by shootings" , was a perfect example of how the vehemently anti-self-defense Violence Policy Center dupes unsuspecting media/news reporters, as well as how lazy journalists irresponsibly run press releases to fill space, as opposed to analyzing the content and understanding the missing/misleading info...

''Innocents betrayed'' by the Sandusky Register

12:10am Tuesday, July 31, 2007
July 29, 2007 Sandusky Register I received an interesting piece of mail. It was not a bill, a letter from Nigeria saying I won money, or correspondence from a long lost friend. This letter contained some deep personal information about myself. Not only was this person able to get my address but he was also able to find much more information on me in just seconds. How did he even get my name in...

Pair of Ohio editorials ignore law enforcement, parrot Michael Bloomberg

12:05am Tuesday, July 31, 2007
By Chad D. Baus If I didn't know better, I'd guess that a recent (unsigned) Toledo Blade editorial, entitled "NRA puppets" , and another published in the (Hamilton) Journal-News ( "Keeping gun data secret is criminal" ) were written by anti-gun New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg himself. While it does appear that Bloomberg has requested that his friends in the media begin an editorial campaign...

Public Defender's (UNEDITED) Letter to Register Editor Westerhold

12:10am Thursday, July 19, 2007
UPDATE: Mr. Longo has sent Buckeye Firearms Association the complete text of his letter, which includes information EDITED out by the Sandusky Register , with the excuse that the letter was too long. Apparently the newspaper has enough space to publish the names of approximately 2,700 law-abiding citizens' private, confidential (and in some cases erroneous information, but not an extra 130 words...
