Lost in the excitement over passage of SB184 (which will, among other things, allow CHL-holders to keep their Constitutional right to bear arms for self-defense while visiting a bathroom in a public park) was tragic news that a woman who was recently attacked in the Cleveland MetroParks' West Creek Reservation by a recently-released convict and beaten in the head with a 15-20 pound rock, had succumbed to her injuries.

According to a story on the WTAM 1100 AM, 52-year-old Chevonne Ecclestone passed away May 28 at the MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.

What one reader of BuckeyeFirearms.org found ironic was the one-sided Associated Press article on House passage of Ohio's Castle Doctrine legislation that was posted the following day on the same news website.

In light of these stories, it's worth asking once again:

Whose side are police unions and the media on?

By Peter Bronson

Packing heat: Dick Tracy phrase that is found in 90 percent of stories about gun owners, but never used in the real world since 1950.

Assault rifles: An ordinary semi-automatic that politicians and mediacrats want to outlaw if it looks like a military full automatic - although it doesn't fire any faster than a common semi-automatic .22 varmint gun.

Gun nut: Anyone who owns anything more powerful than a Daisy BB gun.

The First Amendment: Sacred wisdom in the Bill of Rights that protects the freedom of the press.

The Second Amendment: A mistake that should be deleted, according to newspaper editorials that are protected by the First Amendment.

District of Columbia vs. Heller: The Supreme Court case that is giving night sweats to gun-banners. If 110 pages of arguments in March are a guide, five or six justices will decide this month that the Second Amendment still guarantees the individual right to keep and bear arms. Even handguns. Even in the District of Columbia.

"What is reasonable about a total ban on possession?" Chief Justice John Roberts asked.

Good question.
