Digging for diamonds amidst continued HB347 coverage

12:05am Thursday, January 11, 2007
So many news articles were written covering passage of HB347 that it was difficult to cover them all. Following are a few more worth noting, including quotes from two county sheriffs who have no problems with HB347, and yet another city administrator who admits they have never enforced the gun control laws they claim they so desperately need: Click on 'Read More' for more.

Increased deer scouting aids in fugitive’s capture

12:10am Tuesday, January 09, 2007
Editor's Note: Ohio's hunters should not be forced to chose between the inalienable right of self-protection and following the wildlife regulations established by a state agency. It is far past time for the Division of Wildlife to recognize that the background-checked CHL-holder is not likely a poacher or a threat to the Wildlfie Officers.

Op-Ed: The Dirty Little Secret of ‘Gun-Free School Zones’

12:05am Friday, January 05, 2007
December 26, 2006 The Hawaii Reporter By Alan Gottlieb and Dave Workman This October, there were three fatal attacks on school property in less than a week; more than 20 since February 1996 when a 14-year-old youth strolled into a junior high school in Moses Lake, Wash. and opened fire, killing two students and a teacher. The dirty little secret of all these atrocities is that they happened in so...

LTEs: State lawmakers are doing right by all Ohioans

12:10am Wednesday, December 20, 2006
December 16, 2006 Cleveland Plain Dealer I disagree with The Plain Dealer editorial board's view that local governments should be able to impose gun-control ordinances. Section 1.04 of the Ohio Constitution guarantees Ohioans' right to bear arms. Why should the residents of big cities like Cleveland and Columbus enjoy this right any less than other Ohioans? Do we expect them to be less law...

Media promotes anti-gun poll to accompany veto override news

12:10am Wednesday, December 13, 2006
By Chad D. Baus In an effort to staunch the bleeding of the anti-gun lobby in Ohio, and in anticipation of a Senatorial veto-override, the Ohio media conspired to publicize a poll at the same time as the override vote, purportedly showing that Ohioans did not support the move. From the Quinnipiac University poll : By a 54 - 35 percent margin, Ohio voters say it's a "bad idea" to give state...

LTE: Stop curtailing rights of legal gun owners

12:05am Tuesday, December 12, 2006
December 07, 2006 Columbus Dispatch In response to Friday’s Dispatch editorial "Veto is way to go," concerning House Bill 347, I am sick and tired of Big Media always condemning legal gun owners for the actions of criminals. The editorial stated that more gun restrictions are needed in cities than in rural counties. It would make more sense to say that inner-city people need firearms for...

Op-Ed: Election Wasn't a Vote for Gun Control

12:05am Thursday, December 07, 2006
By Lawrence G. Keane, Esq. As the final election tallies come in, with only a few House races still yet to be determined, and the 2008 presidential race begun, a few things are clear: The 2006 midterm elections were a referendum on Iraq and the Republican leadership of Congress. It was a “thumping,” as the President acknowledged. But what they were not, as some on the far left would have you...

Editorial analysis: Findlay Courier logic vs. Toledo Blade emotion

12:10am Wednesday, December 06, 2006
By Chad D. Baus As I read through many an editoral on HB347 over this past weekend, I found it extremely instructive to compare editorials from two northwest Ohio newspapers. Findlay and Toledo are less than 50 miles apart, but at least from a newspaper editor standpoint, Findlay might as well be on Mars , and Toledo on Venus . Courier editorial excerpts will be presented in blue type , Toledo...
