In the wake of the nation's worst mass shooting on the 'no-guns' campus of Virginia Tech, gun ban extremists like Ohio's Toby Hoover couldn't even wait until the bodies were counted before attempting to exploit the dead by calling for tighter gun control measures.

From the OCAGV statement released just hours after the VT massacre, entitled "It's About the Guns":

Our weak gun laws make it a certainty that the United States will suffer recurrences of such preventable tragedies. There is a crying need for Americans to understand - It's about the guns!" Toby Hoover, Executive Director of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence said: "Listening to reports, you'd think the gun was the least of the problem this morning. The focus is on security, behavior and etc, anything but the hard, cold fact that such bloodshed was made possible by only one thing - a gun."

Is mass murder "made possible by only one thing - a gun"? Would banning guns help our nation avoid "recurrences of such preventable tragedies"? Unfortunately for gun ban extremists, murderous psychopaths (the same ones their legislative goals would ensure are the only ones with guns) keep disproving their ridiculous claims.

FOXNews.com is reporting that a man armed with a 21-inch-long knife killed nine people, including six children, and wounded 17 others in a rampage over the weekend in a central Philippine province.

The U. S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA), for which several Buckeye Firearms Association Leaders are contributing writers (and members), has posted an exclusive audio interview with Rep. Michael DeBose, who went public with a decision to change his viewpoint on concealed carry after suffering a violent attempted mugging.

From USCCA's most recent weekly newsletter:

This week, we have a very special treat. I'm sure you have heard about Mr. Michael DeBose, the Ohio State Representative, right? In case you haven't, he is a democrat, who has twice voted against concealed carry laws for the state of Ohio - but all that changed on the evening of May 1st, when he was attacked by armed thugs. Thankfully, he was not harmed during the encounter, but as we all have learned - one bad experience while unarmed is too many when dealing with consequences as dire as life and death. In this audio clip, we have Mark Walters (The Ordinary Guy) in an interview with this politician, as he discusses the incident and how it has changed him as a person.
