The Buckeye Firearms Association 2006 Pro-Gun Voter Guide is now available.

Voters can now download all our 2006 General Election endorsements on one page. To aid in determining the different districts voters live in, a map is also provided to help locate the applicable U.S. Congressional district, Ohio House district, Ohio Senate district, and Ohio Appeals Court district.

In addition to some local and many regional races, Buckeye Firearms Association has endorsed several statewide candidates. While none of these offices are as well known as the Governor's office, they are each important to gun owners in various ways. For instance, with several gun cases likely headed to the Ohio Supreme Court in the coming years, choosing Robert Cupp for Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court is an extremely important vote for all gun owners.

In addition to the link below, our easy to download and print Voter Guide is now available from all 2006 endorsment pages, and from the top message block on our home page. Please print a few extra guides and post them at your local gun club/ range or retail store. Make plans to share copies with friends and family.

Taken from this week’s “Page Nine” Alan Korwin’s “The uninvited Ombudsman Report”

1. The lamestream media told you:
The nation's newest light-rail system, scheduled to debut in 2008, will use unarmed police to deter crime. "Transit officials say light rail is safe," according to reporter Sean Holstege on Sep. 25, 2006, even though the system is not operating yet.
"Metro [the system operator] will have a visible, well-trained transit-security force," according to spokeswoman Marty McNeil. "Metro is also going to invest in the latest and best security devices," she says, which will not include any firearms for police officers.
"Light-rail foes cite federal crime statistics that suggest light rail has more crime than any other form of mass transit," the Arizona Republic article continues, but this will be combated with clear "sight lines, emergency phones, intercoms, alarms, lots of lights, and surveillance systems," plus a large number of officers and fare checkers in uniforms.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Commuters were shocked to learn today that public officials have decided to disarm police responsible for safety on crime-plagued light rail, scheduled to start running in the nation's fifth largest city in 2008.
"They have no legitimate authority to disarm anyone, but somehow figure it's OK to disarm police stationed to protect the public. It's just unmitigated gall, and plain stupid," says one observer familiar with the plans. In the first six months of the year, Phoenix police statistics show 1,349 crimes per 100,000 people, with 866 of these along the light-rail route. (With more than 3 million people, the Phoenix stats should be multiplied by 30.)
In an ironic twist, a new law in Arizona requires government agencies to allow people to keep possession of their personal firearms, unless safe and secure storage is provided near entry and exit points. Unless Metro plans to require riders to check their guns in and out of the train cars, people will be better prepared to protect police officers than the other way around.
Libertarian commentators say this is actually quite a refreshing state of affairs for a change.
4. The lamestream media told you:

"James Bond's return steals the buzz of Hollywood's big season," says David Germain, the Associated Press movie critic. Daniel Craig becomes the sixth actor to play Bond, with major changes to the character. He is younger, not yet the womanizer he will become, actually falls in love, "and gets his heart stomped on," in Casino Royale, the next in the series of James Bond flicks.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
In almost unspeakable hypocrisy, if true, the sixth actor chosen to play James Bond hates guns, a point that has been all over the web but not addressed in any lamestream reports. Craig has not been seen at a shooting range, and though he handles guns in the movie, they are all fakes.
