NRA Foundation license plates have been available for one month, and Ohio residents have begun to proudly display them on their personal vehicles.

Buckeye Firearms supporter Chris Chumita was the first to order the new NRA plates at his BMV office, and one of the first in the entire state. Some have expressed concern that they would not be treated properly while asking for NRA plates, but Chris’ experience has been typical. Said Chris, “There were no issues, weird looks, or snide comments. The new NRA Foundation license plates were mailed to me in less than a week. It was actually a pleasant visit to the BMV!”

Fred Stratmann of the Ohio BMV told Buckeye Firearms Association that “the NRA Foundation plate did have better first-month sales than several new plates this year.” That is good news, especially considering that December is traditionally a slow month for plate sales.

For Immediate Release
Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms

BELLEVUE, WA – Canada's billion-dollar boondoggle – the national gun registration scheme – has proven itself an abysmal failure, as that country's violent crime rates are double those reported in the United States, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) noted today.

"We looked at violent crime rates per 100,000 population in both countries, using the most recent available data," said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, "and we were not surprised at what we found. Since Canada started this ridiculous and costly program, violent crime has gone up dramatically, at the same time that crime in the United States has declined. Yet, there are people in the states who think Canada's gun legislation should be the model for America.

"By comparing the data," he detailed, "we found that the violent crime rate in the United States was 475 per 100,000 population, while up north, there were 963 violent crimes per 100,000 population. The figure for sexual assault in Canada per 100,000 population is more than double that of the United States, 74 as opposed to 32.1, and the assault rate in Canada is also more than twice that of the states, 746 to our 295 for the population rate."
