Plain Dealer LTEs: Guns in the wrongs hands - and the right ones

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has published several letters to the editor in response to its April 29 story entitled "Gun advocates: Statistics are inadequate" and to the continued discussion over the latest Ohio CHL-holder to defend his own life when attacked. Getting to the source of delinquents' angst? I see very little difference between the young criminal who was recently killed in Mount...

Note to Blade's Dan Simpson: There are some more Amendments after the First

The Toledo Blade has published a number of pro-gun letters in response to editorial board member Dan Simpson's recent tirade against the United States Constitution. Click 'Read More' for the letters, including two the Blade refused to print. Did columnist forget about Constitution? Having just read Dan Simpson's April 25 column on the disarming of America, I can only think of one question: Where...

Plain Dealer: Gun advocates say assaults are thwarted, but not reported

In the fallout from an erroneous Cleveland Plain Dealer story claiming that the death of an armed robber at the hand of the concealed handgun licenseholder he attacked was "what appears to be the first time", Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter Michael O'Malley spent time late last week discussing the facts with Buckeye Firearms Association's Chairman and Vice Chairman. He published a follow-up story...

Letters to Plain Dealer editor continue to pour in

More than 400 readers told me Damon Wells had every right to shoot and kill Buford. Only 20 disagreed. Wells was not sitting on his porch when he was attacked, as I wrote Wednesday. He was returning from the store and walking across...

Toledo Blade editorial board member tirade: This explains everything

Now that Toledo Blade editorial board member Dan Simpson has written his "The disarming of America" tirade, we guess you'd call it ("rant" probably being too mild, and more accurate words being inappropriate to print), we can finally understand some of the anti-gun editorials that the Blade has spewed over the past 3-4 years. Thanks to NBC's sick attempt to lift their dismal ratings, we've all...
