OOPS: Toby Hoover admits gun control not a priority for Ohioans
Submitted by cbaus on Fri, 08/04/2006 - 00:05.By Chad D. Baus
In 2003, toward the end of the nearly decade-long debate on whether or
not Ohio should join the modern world and pass a concealed carry law,
gun ban extremist Toby Hoover repeatedly asserted that "The majority
of Ohioans oppose carrying concealed guns" and "The majority of
Ohioans oppose secretly carrying hidden loaded guns in public."
After a mass shooting at a "no-guns" church in the "no-guns" state of
Wisconsin in 2005, Hoover stated that "Sooner or later, people are
going to say, 'Enough is enough'."
After Ohio's concealed carry law took effect (in spite of Hoover's
efforts at stopping it via a lawsuit), she stated "The gun lobby knows
that carrying hidden loaded handguns is not what Ohioans want."
"We
were speaking for the majority and this is not what Ohioans wanted," Hoover cackled. "We had legislators who went in and catered to a few. And they gave
them a privilege that now we — the rest of us — have all had to
readjust and consider what our risks are with that. The adult
population of Ohio does not think they have to be armed at all times.”
Fast forward to 2006: Hoover is now inadvertantly admitting that something has changed in the past two years since concealed carry became law.
