12:10am Wednesday, June 18, 2008

By Gerard Valentino Senate Bill 348, designed to add an additional 10 years to a prison sentence if a gun is used to cause injury to or death of a child, was introduced recently by Senator Eric Kearney (D-9).

Progress: We can only move forward together

12:05am Wednesday, June 18, 2008

By Tim Inwood In the past four years, gun owners in Ohio have made amazing strides forward. After years of battling for concealed carry, we finally won in 2004.

Of Mice and Men

12:05am Tuesday, June 17, 2008

By Breda of The Breda Fallacy One day last winter, I pulled on my boots, buttoned up my coat and went out into the snow to fill the birdfeeder. We kept the seed in a large bucket in the garage and when I went to scoop some out to carry to the feeder, I noticed that the supply was running low.

NEWTOWN, Conn - The old adage, "God made men; Sam Colt made them equal," applies to women, too. Women across the country are packing classes where they learn about all aspects of handgun ownership. One of the main reasons for attending these classes, they say, is to learn more about how to take charge of their own safety. Carol, a thirty-something mother from Connecticut, explained her...

Haunted

12:10am Thursday, June 12, 2008

By Breda of The Breda Fallacy They've found a body in the woods. Again. Another missing girl, woman, sister, mother, friend strangled, stabbed, shot, raped, mutilated, dismembered and tossed in the brush, in a ditch, beside railroad tracks, in a dumpster, in the ocean like so much garbage. The details don't really matter. They were all guilty of nothing more than perhaps smiling at the wrong man...

What's wrong with fighting back over injustice?

12:05am Wednesday, June 11, 2008

By Karyl Cicanese Fremont News-Messenger Why is our country divided? Apart from political divides there is also a division in our thought process. We live in a time where the conventional way of thinking is to avoid conflict at all cost. If we are attacked by another country, the popular thing to do is to ask, what did WE do to provoke the attack? We train our employee's to surrender if they are...
