BFA Ohio Voter Guide

BFA PAC Announces Grades and Endorsements for Nov. 5, 2024, General Election [More]

I see some “A’s” I disagree with (for instance, Bernie Moreno’s a self-serving phony making the right noises for the votes), but this isn’t a primary and we’ve got to go with what we’ve got.

Note I have simply copied and pasted their email. I have not vetted any of the endorsements. So use this as a good starting point. As always, due diligence is each of our responsibility.

Up in Smoke

5 gun law facts you should know before toking that first legal joint [More]

What a mess.

If you do indulge, wear a Covid face diaper in (and out of) the store, buy with cash, and don’t smoke in front of anyone you can’t trust. That, and lie on the 4473, because being coerced to rat yourself out is a human rights violation.

Just understand that if you get caught, evil people are going to hurt you badly.

Up in Smoke?

The same will be true this time around if voters legalize marijuana for recreational use. If you use marijuana, you lose your gun rights regardless of state law. [More]

No, you’ll lose recognition of your rights.

Don’t use a credit card and lie on the 4473, and don’t be/do/talk stupid, and chances are you won’t get caught.

Ohio Prohibitionists Counting on Gun Owner Unawareness Over Issue 1

Issue 1 supporters can’t count on getting a fair shake in the media, which increasingly portrays them as “a basket of deplorables” (and that’s being nice). As usual, it’s up to them to educate themselves and spread the word. [More]

If you’re an Ohio gun voter, the only way this will pass is if you get involved and help make it pass.

Even When He Loses He Wins

Columbus Files Yet Another Lawsuit Seeking to Infringe Gun Rights [More]

It’s not Zach Klein’s money being squandered and it gets his name in the papers. When you think about it, that’s a special kind of contemptible. And anyone stupid or biased enough to vote for him in the first place won’t let a little thing like repeated losses keep them from pushing a proven apparatchik for higher office.

Even if he is that most loathsome of creatures along the lines of Bill Kristol, Joe Scarborough, and Joe Walsh:

A Viahycon turned Democrat.

Pulling Up AstroTurf

Gun grabbers like New York billionaire Mike Bloomberg bankroll ballot issues that would restrict and seize our constitutional rights. SJR 2, if approved by voters, would raise the bar for passing changes to our foundational document to 60% instead of a simple majority, thereby making it much harder for out-of-state money to force their values upon Ohio. [More]

And naturally, lying Democrats who scream “Home Rule!” whenever they want to undermine preemption or impose new infringements are against Ohioans deciding on their Constitution in the face of outside money pouring in.

A Good First Step

Delaware County judge blocks Columbus gun ordinance enforcement [More]

But there are still miles to go, this is not the only road to travel, and municipal governments have virtually unlimited tax plunder to throw at this, while rights defenders need to scrape for nickels.

If you’re an Ohio gun owner, are you helping with the load, either financially or through activism?

Astroturf Abatement Plan

These are the stakes in the effort to raise the voting threshold to 60% to approve changes to the Ohio Constitution. It’s about protecting our rights and shielding our state constitution from big money meddlers so that we’re not subject to the fickle political whims of the moment. [More]

Ohio gun owners: It’s in your interests to get up to speed on this and help.

Raising the Bar

Currently, when constitutional amendments are placed on the ballot, it takes only a simple majority (50% plus one vote) to change the constitution. SJR 2 would require any future constitutional amendment to be approved by at least 60% of the voters, whether proposed by initiative petition, by the General Assembly, or by a constitutional convention. [More]

This ought to buy us some time, at least.

But the changes the state is going through have already taken over where I live.

And we know how that ends up.

We Have Some Good News and Some Bad News…

A handful of House and Senate bills are beginning to work their way through the state’s legislative process, as the Ohio Legislature’s 135th General Assembly gets underway. The first three, as currently written, would reduce firearms regulations and expand Second Amendment rights. [More]

And the one after that...?

Pod People

PODCAST: The Media and Gun Control Activists Struggle to Exploit MSU Murders [More]

I chatted with BFA Executive Director Dean Rieck about my AmmoLand observations and more.

Also from Buckeye Firearms:

Lawsuit filed against Columbus over unlawful, unconstitutional gun laws [More]

Subversive Democrats know they have virtually unlimited tax funds to harass us with, meaning productive gun owners have to fully finance complaints and appeals, and partially finance the bastards attacking us.

A Good First Step

Governor DeWine Signs BFA-Backed SB 185 to Protect Second Amendment Rights During Emergencies [More]

First, do no harm. Excellent.

Now, assuming we’re talking about a widespread disaster where limited civil authority resources are triaged and whole areas will be left for an indeterminate time to fend for themselves, dare we hope we’ll ever see a bill that provides for activating the militia of the whole people after training and equipping them first?

Columbus Prepares to Pass Gun Control Laws

Columbus leaders are making the argument that despite Ohio’s preemption law and despite a judge’s “stay” order in their lawsuit against the state, they have the right to pass certain gun control laws. [More]

It’s not like it’s their money they’re spending. The same can’t be said for anyone opposing them, and that’s part of the plan.

And the Winners Are…

2022 BFA-PAC Grades and Endorsements for the August Ohio Primary [More]

Not a single Democrat made the list, which if you think about it, is the way it should be since with everything else they must do to advance party interests and candidates, it is literally impossible to be a “pro-gun Democrat,” Jorge & pals notwithstanding.

I’m presenting this list as a starting point. I know who my pols are and suggest everyone else know theirs as a minimal citizenship standard rather than just following anybody’s list.
