Navigating the new political landscape

by Jim Irvine We've had our election and will have the same president, same Republicans in control of Congress and same Democrats in control of the Senate. Ohio is a similar picture to Washington. Same Governor, identical balance in Senate and GOP picks up one seat to hold 60 of 99 House seats. So what's new? Everything.

With President Obama winning another term and democrats taking control of the Senate, the move to fundamentally change America from within has begun – with a vengeance. We're all aware of the restrictive gun laws in the State of California which require low capacity magazines for handguns, fixed magazines for "assault" rifles...

A Dark Day for Freedom in Washington

by Chad D. Baus Barack Obama, who has been termed the most anti-gun president in American history, has won a narrow victory and will return to the White House for a second term.
