In case you had any doubts, Ohio's anti-self-defense extremists are not resting until the General Assembly returns from summer break.

According to a recent email alert from them, they are creating yet another align="right">deceptive name for themselves, and have launched a new web-based service to spit out form letters urging citizens to encourage Governor Taft to drop his "support" for House Bill 12.

A new survey has been added to the OFCC PAC website, inquiring as to who is most to blame for delays on HB12.
