12:05am Wednesday, December 05, 2007

Rudy Presses Suit The candidate, as mayor, was a perpetual plaintiff.

Baus Many readers of this website will recall the media bias that was exposed in NBC Cincinnati (WLWT Ch. 5) reporter Eric Flack's undercover piece on the non-existent ''gun show loophole'' on November 19.

12:10am Wednesday, November 28, 2007

By Chad D. Baus Despite almost a year's worth of history lessons by pro-Second Amendment groups across the country, opinion polls prove there are still too many pro-gun Republican voters planning on giving their primary vote to Rudy Giuliani.
