Rabid Anti-Gun Senator Mike DeWine has been making headlines recently as he tries to garner conservative support across Ohio. Most recently he was featured in the Washington Times for attempting to gain the grass roots support of Americans for Tax Reform, considered a highly coveted endorsement by many.

Americans for Tax Reform like most pro-gun or any other conservative organization want the politicians they support to be accountable and actually do what they promise. In this case Senator DeWine has shown his true colors once again and will not commit to the group. It is nothing but more of the same talk a good talk to get elected and flip flop when the time comes to act. Is it any wonder the Senator has managed to achieve a "F" rating from the NRA?

When questioned about his poor choices of late regarding gun rights the Senator's answer was simply "I call it like I see it."

Too bad for Ohioans that Senator DeWine is suffering from a severe case of blurred vision. Perhaps he needs to clean his glasses or just simply admit that he is not the conservative he portrays himself to be.

Buckeye Firearms has endorsed three Republican Congressional candidates. Congresswomen Jean Schmidt (R-2) is an incumbent and well known to many. Senator Jim Jordan is running in the 4th district, and Joe Ortega is running in the 13th district.

Congresswoman Jean Schmidt (R-2) went to Washington last year after winning a special election to fill the void when Rob Portman was assigned to President Bush’s cabinet. She likes auto racing and has completed more than 56 marathons and still counting. She knows how to finish what she starts, and does not accept “it can’t be done” as an answer for anything. Her zest for life is unmistakable.

Schmidt was in the Ohio House of Representatives when HB12 (concealed carry) passed in 2003. She not only voted for the bill, but she stood up and proclaimed why it was important to support it. Like us, she much preferred the House passed version (which did not allow media access or require “plain sight” carry in a car) but understood that restrictions were preferable to the prohibition against carrying a firearm we were living under at the time. She has continued to be a great friend to gun owners in Washington and has earned our support to continue the fight were it’s most needed, in our nations Capitol.

Schmidt’s district is roughly comprised of Clermont, Brown, Adams, Pike, western Scioto, southern Warren, and the east edge of Hamilton counties.
