by Chad D. Baus Last week, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced that a record number of Ohioans had obtained concealed handgun licenses in the second quarter of 2013, and showed an increase over the record number that had been obtained in the first quarter. Over 376,000 Ohio citizens are now licensed to carry handguns. This news was distributed across the state, and was picked up by the...

Senator Rob Portman responds to nagging anti-gun mayors group: Join me in supporting something that will work (or shut up)

4:00pm Wednesday, August 14, 2013
by Chad D. Baus After several expensive negative ad campaigns in Ohio failed to sway Sen. Rob Portman's firm support for the Second Amendment, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's and President Obama's gun control groups, Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) and Organizing for Action (OFA), have switched to using the free media. Every few weeks, the groups will stage a press conference or other media...

Poll: Americans want Senate to drop gun control

8:00am Tuesday, August 13, 2013
by Chad D. Baus If an alien being landed on earth, knowing nothing of our politics, and read the newspaper or watched a news broadcast, it'd be absolutely convinced that 90% of Americans are overwhelmingly demanding passage of gun control legislation that was proposed, debated and voted down in the United States Senate last spring. Even before the gavel had dropped on the first vote to kill the...

Pelosi Urges Congress to Uphold Constitution by Passing Gun Control

4:00pm Monday, August 12, 2013
Anti-gun U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) recently urged members of Congress to uphold their oath to "protect and defend" the Constitution by passing harsher gun control laws.

As reported by CNS News , Pelosi made...

"Mayors for Gun Control"

4:00pm Friday, August 09, 2013
We often report on anti-gun New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the follies of his gun control advocacy group "Mayors Against Illegal Guns." In the past--at one of their particularly low points--we were even compelled to detail a long list of criminal acts attributed to MAIG members. These days, some members of the group are disenchanted and are quitting MAIG. The New York Post reported...

Attorney General announces Second Quarter 2013 CHL statistics; Demand for CHLs stays in stratosphere

8:00am Friday, August 09, 2013
by Jim Irvine Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine (R) has released the concealed handgun license (CHL) statistics for the second quarter of 2013. After a record setting period like the first quarter, a return to "normal" is expected, but that is not what happened. The second quarter surpassed the record numbers established in the first quarter and proves that was not just a one quarter fluke. Every...

Obama and Holder have spoken out on Zimmerman verdict, but why?

4:00pm Thursday, August 08, 2013
by Tim Inwood In the wake of the Zimmerman verdict, the President and Attorney General have commented. Their comments, however, weren't really pertaining to the case, as neither firearms nor stand your ground was really at issue. Obama wants to use a case where the pistol was purchased legally with a background check and where the owner had a valid CCW card to push for more gun control. That's...
