Firearms Forum is a hit with Ohio gun owners! And now the radio show is moving to an earlier time to reach even more listeners.

Starting this Sunday, it starts at 8pm on Cleveland's WHK 1420 AM. If you can't get 1420 on your radio, go to http://whkradio.townhall.com/ and listen online.

If you haven't been listening, you've been missing the leading voices in the pro-gun community, including Alan Korwin, Massad Ayoob, David Kopel, Howard Nemerov, Bob Brown (publisher of Soldier of Fortune magazine) and more.

If you're interested in concealed carry, self-defense, hunting, sport shooting, gun collecting, gunsmithing, or the Second Amendment, this is the radio show for you.

Of course, if you do miss a show, don't worry. We archive every show on our Web site.

Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Regina Brett, whose series on the thug culture earned her title as a top-three finalist for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize in Commentary, has written another article that proves she "gets it."

That year, after the death of a teen-aged armed robber who attacked a concealed handgun license (CHL)-holder, and in response to community outrage insanely focused against the robber's victim for protecting himself, Brett wrote a series of columns that explored inner-city violence, poverty and hopelessness among black teenagers and young men.

This time, Brett's focus is on a man who police say took the lives of Lechea Crawford, 30; Rose Stevens, 25; Destanee Woods, 5; and twins Deon and Davion Primm, both 2. And once again, Brett is placing the focus where it needs to be: on the criminal that commmitted the heinous crime, rather than on the tool he used.

Editor's Note: We hate to have to say "we told you so" to the sportsmen who bought into the lie that Obama would protect their right to hunt and fish, but...we told you so.

The United States Sportsmen's Alliance is urging sportsmen nationwide to immediately contact their U.S. representatives and senators, and to "ask your congressman and two U.S. senators to urge the Obama Administration to stop the National Park Service from its plan to stop the use lead ammunition and fishing tackle on its lands."

The park service, which administers many lands that permit hunting and fishing, including National Preserves, National Recreation Areas and National Rivers, announced March 10 that it would ban lead ammunition and sinkers from its lands.

Acting NPS Director Dan Wenk stated that the NPS goal is to eliminate all lead in ammunition and tackle by the end of 2010.

Over 20 million acres of NPS land is open to hunting and would be adversely impacted by this decision.

"The National Park Service's decision is arbitrary, over-reactive and not based on science," said Steve Sanetti, president of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry. "Studies show that traditional ammunition does not pose a health risk to humans, or wildlife populations as a whole."
