Grassroots pro-gun groups have a bill under consideration in the Statehouse, and elitist union leaders at the Fraternal Order of Police are opposed. Deja vu all over again? Not so fast. Gun owners have reason to hope, because this time around, we have a Democrat in the Governor's office. Yes, you read that on a pro-gun website. GUN OWNERS CAN BE THANKFUL THAT DEMOCRAT TED STRICKLAND IS OUR...

by Chad D. Baus

"Is it possible that John McCain thinks you have too much freedom?" - NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, 2001 John McCain's closing speech at the "Celebration of American Values" conference at the NRA's 2008 Annual Meetings last Friday was a real clinker, and not just because he was boring, uninspired, unmotivated and talking out of both sides of his mouth.

If only they hadn't walked home alone, if only they hadn't trusted the wrong man...if only they'd had a gun so they could have fought back and won.
