Last week, news that Ohio Republican Party Chair Kevin DeWine successfully maneuvered a pro-gun candidate out of his party's primary race for attorney general, thus giving his anti-gun cousin Mike an unopposed run, rocked pro-gun voters across the Buckeye State.

This week, apparently not wanting to be out-done, Democrats took their turn at shafting pro-gun voters in their party primary race for Secretary of State.

According to news reports, State Representative Jennifer Garrison (D-93), a former Buckeye Firearms Association-endorsee, has been essentially forced out of the Democrat primary by party leaders concerned about her stance on gun rights, among certain other issues. The move all but ensures that the anti-gun candidate, Franklin Co. Clerk of Courts Maryellen O'Shaughnessy, will be unopposed in the Democratic primary.
