2004 Election Results and Analysis

Ohio gun owners have a lot to be proud of this 2004 election season. Upon the nomination of John Kerry by Democrats last spring, grassroots activists in Ohio quickly realized that the most intense threat to our self-defense rights came not from a state candidate, but from a liberal Massacheusetts Senator with a 20-year history of opposing the Second Amendment and of voting to ban the very guns we...

Letter to the Editor: Kerry pandering, not hunting
