Sometimes Criminals Walk Among Us: Self-Enforcement is Key at Gun Shows

12:10am Wednesday, November 04, 2009
By Gerard Valentino The national establishment media is getting a lot of mileage from another of New York Mayor Bloomberg's dirty tricks.

Gun Shows Need to be Proactive to Survive

12:10am Friday, October 30, 2009
By Publius Mayor Bloomberg's "investigation" of gun shows in Ohio presents an opportunity for gun owners in the Buckeye state - an opportunity that we must seize if gun shows are to survive.

By Chad D. Baus On October 20, 2009, Buckeye Firearms Chairman Jim Irvine appeared as a guest on WCPN's (Clevland Public Radio) "The Sound of Ideas," hosted by Dan Moulthrop.

As a part of our focus on general firearms issues, this political action committee continues to direct our attention to a variety of local races in the state of Ohio for off-year elections.
