A recent story in the Xenia Gazette, entitled "Ohio fifth on list of states with most drive-by shootings" , was a perfect example of how the vehemently anti-self-defense Violence Policy Center dupes unsuspecting media/news reporters, as well as how lazy journalists irresponsibly run press releases to fill space, as opposed to analyzing the content and understanding the missing/misleading info...

Baus "Shoot First, Ask Questions Later" "Kingdom Doctrine" "Deadly Force: From Last Resort to First Option" "Duel Clause" "License To Murder" "Crack Dealers' Get Out of Jail Free Card" We've all heard the rhetoric.
