Issue 1: Where's the outcry over these major 60% (or higher) organizations?

by Joe D. "Buck" Ruth

6:00am Friday, July 28, 2023

It's stunning (not really) the level of hypocrisy these extreme progressives will go to just to get their way. How undemocratic it is, they say, that Buckeye Firearms Association and other Issue 1 supporters want a 60% majority to amend the Ohio Constitution. Yet the very bylaws and constitutions of many of those organizations opposed to Issue 1 require the same threshold — if not higher. Here...

by Dean Rieck

5:00am Thursday, July 27, 2023

We've been telling you Issue 1 is about many issues, including protecting gun rights. And here's proof. Cleveland Mayor Justin M. Bibb admitted that if Issue 1 fails and Ohio's constitution continues to be easy to amend, they could use a constitutional ballot initiative to come after your guns. Here's his exact quote from a recent news conference : We can use our real political power to change...

Should we stay or should we go? How should we stop evil?

by Rob Morse

6:00am Wednesday, July 26, 2023

I observed an advanced training course for armed defenders in school. Some of the problems these defenders wrestle with are beyond what most of us have to consider. On the other hand, some of their concerns are the same as ours whether we own a gun or not. Most of us don’t expect to face a threat today. Everyone performs better if they have thought about an emergency before the problem is staring...

Touting 'smart guns' over traditional firearms is stupid policy

6:00am Tuesday, July 25, 2023

In 2002, Democrat lawmakers in New Jersey passed a first-of-its-kind bill to restrict the handguns that could be sold at retail in that state to “smart guns” (called “personalized guns” in the bill). The law would take effect once the state’s attorney general determined that “at least one manufacturer had delivered at least one production model of a personalized handgun to a registered or...

The REAL reason big-city liberals oppose Issue 1

by Dean Rieck

6:00am Monday, July 24, 2023

Opponents of Issue 1 are throwing a conniption fit over the idea of elevating the standards for amending Ohio's constitution. They keep saying it's "undemocratic" and a "power grab." But as is often the case, leftist and progressive political activists are projecting their own motives onto others, accusing them of doing what they themselves are guilty of. Issue 1 not only requires more votes to...

Right to arms in American colonies predates Bill of Rights

by Dean Weingarten

6:00am Friday, July 21, 2023

New evidence has surfaced which indicates Englishmen in the American colonies had the right to keep and bear arms before the right was codified in England. In 1606, King James I granted perpetual rights to arms for the Virginia colonies, which covered what would become the southern colonies during the 1600s. From The History of Bans on Types of Arms Before 1900, by David Kopel and Joseph Greenlee...

Gun prohibition advocates demonize lawful industry, ignore actual criminals

6:00am Thursday, July 20, 2023

Here we go again. Four years after then-Vice President Joe Biden said, “Our enemy is the gun manufacturers,” gun control advocates are still trying to convince Americans that violent crime results from law-abiding businesses providing a constitutionally protected product under exacting government scrutiny. Amidst the gun prohibition lobby’s never-ending — and usually illegal — campaign of...
