Rep. Bob Hagan's gun control bill exposes impotence of "protection orders" and need for victim education

7:00am Thursday, May 16, 2013
by Chad D. Baus State Representative Bob Hagan (D), who recently announced that his candidacy for U.S. Senate is grounded in his anger that Sen. Rob Portman (R) stood up for gun owners' constitutional rights in recent votes against gun control, has apparently figured out that support for gun control is his ticket to gaining media attention for his fledgling candidacy. This week, Hagan introduced...

New Government Report Undercuts Obama Anti-Gun Agenda

7:00am Tuesday, May 14, 2013
Things haven't been very good for President Obama lately. [Last] week, Congress heard from witnesses concerning his administration's fatal failures related to the September 11, 2012, attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Not buying into the make-believe nonsense that Obama has improved America's standing among terrorists devoted to our destruction, jihadists recently attacked the Boston...

7:00am Monday, May 13, 2013
by Jim Irvine The Cleveland Plain Dealer has an interesting series called "PolitiFact," where they look at past events/statements and follow up on them to see how they look after some time has passed.

Media, gun control groups desperate to prop up claims that pro-gun votes will hurt Portman and other Senators at the ballot box

by Chad D. Baus The establishment media, which repeatedly asserted that the horrific attack on a school in Newtown, CT meant that gun control was inevitable, are still reeling from the defeat of the anti-gun Manchin-Toomey amendment that sought to make Chuck Schumer's gun control bill, S. 469, palatable to more Senators. Their attempts to make the undesirable "inevitable" having failed, the media...

by Chad D. Baus Remember that Obama administration claim, repeated ad nauseum during the media push to use the horrific massacre in "gun free" Sandy Hook Elementary to pass gun control, that 90% of the American people support an expanded background check bill?
