Editorials opposing restaurant carry expose coordinated anti-gun bias

7:00am Tuesday, December 21, 2010
by Gerard Valentino By running nearly identical anti-gun editorials on the same day, The Columbus Dispatch and The Toledo Blade have finally given up their longtime charade that coverage of the gun issue is unbiased and independent. The Dayton Daily News joined the party about a week later by running an equally one-sided editorial that relied on similar mistruths, misquotes and outright...

Gavel still has not fallen on 128th General Assembly: Pro-gun bills' fate still not sealed

7:45pm Thursday, December 16, 2010
The Ohio House of Representatives adjourned yesterday without holding a voting session, but Speaker Armond Budish has still not declared the 128th session of the Ohio House of Representatives to be officially over.

Corrigan this week ruled that Ohio's firearm disability for misdemeanor drug convictions is unconstitutional ( State of Ohio v. Marinko Tomas ).

House passes motions to discharge; Media coverage of historic discharge petitions show work still needs to be done

by Chad D. Baus The Ohio House passed Rep. Bubp's motions to discharge SB239 (Restaurant & Car Carry Rules Fix) and SB247 (Restoration of Rights) today by 57-39 margins, proving that these bills have large bi-partisan support, and deserve to be given votes in an as-yet-to-be scheduled session. The Ohio media are swinging into action to cover the latest efforts to get SB239 and SB247 the floor...

Restoration of Rights: A case study on why the Ohio House should hold a vote and pass SB247 this week

7:00am Tuesday, December 07, 2010
by J.A.W. There are decisions we face as humans that can and will define our lives. For me, that decision took place in March of 1999. I allowed another person to talk me into signing for a package of marijuana delivered to my apartment. Now, I knew exactly what was going to be in the package, and I also knew that it was against the law. For reasons that still to this day I do not understand, I...
