What follows is the third annual list of the ten greatest threats to our gun rights. To some degree, all of the threats that were previously listed are still threats to our Ohio gun rights. Some of those threats have become even more powerful and there are new threats that we are facing.

In order to defend our rights, we have to know who or what threatens them. There are actually too many threats to mention, but the following is a list of ten of the more potent threats to our Ohio gun rights.

As a victim of the recession and massive lay-offs that followed, I lost my job and was forced to fly to Chicago for a job fair this past weekend. It was my first trip to Chicago (my hometown) in quite some time, making me wonder how Chicagoland had prepared for the expected mayhem after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Second Amendment is an individual right.

The reaction of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley to the Supreme Court ruling was astounding, he actually pouted and stomped his feet while discussing how a gun in a law-abiding person's house is a threat to public safety.

Luckily, the pilot of my flight into Chicago was a long-time veteran of Chicago's O'Hare airport and used the customary cork-screw landing to confuse any gunmen looking to shoot the plane down. His landing was a carbon copy of the landing described by Hillary Clinton during her arrival in Bosnia safely all those years ago.
