On the Short List

Attorney Mehek Cooke, a Republican attorney who served as a political and legal surrogate for Trump in 2024, is under consideration to be chosen to fill Vance’s seat… [More]

Knowing DeWine, who he picks is a real concern.

She seems to have the right attitude on guns.

And on illegal immigration

The idiot prohibitionists piling on, that is, the losers p!$$ed off about election results, offer the same tired, refutable arguments:

“Well regulated” refers to the militia. It has no bearing on weapons kept at home, and the Constitution delegates no authority for any branch of government to overcome “shall not be infringed.”

The “It’s the gun ” argument ignores the tens of millions of us who morally coexist with guns every day. Their only “solution” is to do what they say we’re paranoid for fearing: Ban guns.

And don’t argue “suicide” and then argue the police should be the “Only Ones” armed.

Who DeWine Picks as Vance’s Replacement of Crucial Interest to Gun Owners

For now, there are several good choices for gun owners that DeWine can make, a few problematic ones, and one that’s completely unacceptable, his previous pick Dolan. [More]

Review the candidates and let him know what you think.

I gotta tell ya, I was delighted to see seven comments by the time I noticed this was up and then saw only one was on topic…:-(

Death from Playing It Safe

My once-solid Republican area is now solid Democrat “thanks” to “redrawing” of district borders, resulting in my gun-grabber rep’s reelection:

With all 8,878 precincts reporting, Sykes won with 51.05% of the votes.

*Emilia Sykes (D) 193,575
*Kevin Coughlin (R) 185,622

You can’t do worse than losing. I maintain a high profile in a district that attracts thousands to gun shows could have helped, and the low profile presented did nothing to mobilize them.

My only consolation: She won’t be in a position to do much damage for a few years.

A Walk in the Park

Canton park board formally changes laws, allows firearms in public parks [More]

Kudos to an alert citizen who educated them on state preemption. It’s inexcusable he had to.

Now the question is, can we keep Canton “Only Ones” who go berserk on lawfully armed citizens out of parks?

None Dare Call It Treason

On October 9, 2024, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division wrote to Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose alleging that Ohio’s efforts to remove noncitizens from its voter rolls may violate federal law. [More]

What are a citizen’s options when the biggest criminals are in charge of law enforcement? Especially when those not accepting the results of elections conducted this way will be branded insurrectionists?

Travel Advisory Shows Democrat Border Policy Endangers America

The Democrat strategy to do this is to bring in and subsidize more uncheckable Third Worlders from violence plagued tyrannies, set them on the superhighway to citizenship, and, among other “fundamental transformations,” eviscerate the Second Amendment. [More]

A plan comes together. And to think that some still say this has nothing to do with the Second Amendment…

No on 1

This short video reveals the dark-money activists from outside Ohio, some from other countries, who want to seize power and rig Ohio elections to elect partisan leftists even in conservative parts of the state. [More]

If you’re an Ohio gun owner who cares about the Second Amendment, or if you know one, spread the word.

Republican Challenger Underplaying Guns in Crucial Ohio Race

Look, the guy may be great on guns, but it shouldn’t be this hard finding out. [More]

If you’re not prepared to champion and defend RKBA, anytime, anywhere, and if you think it’s something you need to keep a low profile on to avoid political embarrasment, you’re not doing it right and you’re not prepared to lead.

Prohibitionists Gonna Prohibit

To amend sections 2923.13 and 2923.14 and to enact section 2923.133 of the Revised Code to prohibit certain conduct regarding trigger cranks, bumpfire devices, and other items that accelerate a semi-automatic firearm’s rate of fire but do not convert it into an automatic firearm. [More]

I didn’t just get mine back to surrender it to these two @$$holes.

Come and take it.

To Themselves and Their Posterity

Springfield, Ohio, resident tells mayor that she “can’t take it anymore” as Haitian migrants squat on her lawn, litter in her yard and harass her and elderly husband daily. [More]

How…?

Who in office made this locating decision? Who in office did not loudly fight it before it became reality?

How is this happening in a supposedly “Republican” state?

They really are counting on “law-abiding citizens” (aka “the greatest threat”) just taking it and taking it and taking it…

And Alabama’s “red state,” too

Good Thing This Never Happens!

“Those making this argument ignore a glaring problem: the government officials who register voters and conduct federal elections aren’t allowed to require proof of citizenship,” wrote U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, in a recent column for The Federalist. “It’s therefore shockingly easy for noncitizens to vote in federal elections, leaving our elections dangerously vulnerable to foreign interference. Anyone — even an illegal alien or other noncitizen — can register to vote in federal elections, just by checking a box and signing a form.” [More]

My wife’s phone died on her while we were on vacation and we had to go to our carrier to get a new one. Before they could process her order she needed to show them her driver’s license.

The Sport of Whores

All the times Trump’s VP pick JD Vance has attacked him [More]

I went through his pros and cons here and ended on a note of concern:

Firearms News made three attempts to ask Vance if he would be willing to answer some detailed questions about [being a Never ] and about the legislative agenda gun owners should expect to see him pursue. He has chosen not to respond.

You could ask “Who am I?” and you’d be right, but a national magazine reaching a core voting demographic should not be so easy to dismiss. I also worry about who will be picked to replace him, especially since the GOP candidate who will be opposing Ohio’s Democrat communist gun-grabbing senator Sherrod Brown is another “reformed” Never Trumper who laughed at gun owners and asked:

“What kind of gun do you need to have a hundred bullets in it?” Moreno asked. “And are you going to eat a deer that has a hundred bullets in it? Can’t there be some common sense that says that one [gun] is probably out, right, without infringing on someone’s rights? Can’t we have universal background checks?”

If Vance is elected, his replacement will be picked by the bipolar Gov. Mike DeWine.

Politics…

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.

On Topic

OffTopic/
David, What’s with the Ohio AG not joining the other States in the lawsuit challenging the new rule against private sales? [More]

I won’t respond there, because a big thing with me is keeping things on topic (see “Comment H0use Rules” in sidebar). That’s why comment threads hijacked away from the conversation I’m inviting, or worse, devolving into childish squabbling, really grind my gears.

But it’s a good question, and Dave Yost hasn’t shied away from those before.

Where is Ohio?

Let’s ask him.

LaRose By Any Other Name

But they overlooked a state law in Ohio, and the party now faces the possibility that Joe Biden’s name won’t be listed as a presidential candidate in the fall… The law came to the attention of Democrats recently when Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose notified them. [More]

Gee, thanks, Frank,

Napoleon he ain’t.

And that, along with flirting with No Labels and being a dolt during Covid, is why a flip-flopping gun fraud kicked his @$$.

We’re the Only Ones Unincarcerated Enough

No jail time for former East Cleveland police chief guilty of felony charge [More]

Hey, it’s not like they wouldn’t offer you and me the same deal if we faced 24 charges of “financial crimes including collecting and failing to remit sales tax, passing bad checks, theft in office, and money laundering.”

Right?

Speaking of Elections…

This guy won. [More]

At least this flake didn’t. Interesting that he was endorsed by DeSwine. Looks like he’s on again.

LaRose continues to demonstrate the uninspiring flaccidity that characterizes an Ohio GOP establishment that seems dead set on turning the state blue. He’s the reason I stopped working the polls.

A Mass Stupidity Democrat

“Banning mass casualty weapons is a commonsense measure that will prevent needless loss of life. In 2019, our community felt that loss with the horrific tragedy that took place in the Oregon district. There is no reason to have guns equipped with magazines that can hold 50, 70, or even 100 rounds. It’s time to take action and ban these weapons so that our communities can be safer,” said Rep. Blackshear. [More]

“Weapons”? So, basically every semiautomatic.

Y0u and every ignorant oath-breaking tyrant wannabe like you blaming the rest of us for your constituents is reason enough, moron.

Trump-Endorsed Moreno Laughing at Gun Owners Raises Legitimate Concerns

He doesn’t want to take away guns, but some are “out”? Which ones and why? That’s not “infringing”? Why does he sound like every anti-gunner in the world with the deer cracks? And no private sales? Does this guy even have a clue? [More]

Bernie? You got some ‘splainin’ to do. So does Donald, and JD, and Dave, and Ted, and Rand, and…

Because What Could Be Smarter Politics Than Laughing at Your Core Constituency Before the Primary?

GOP Ohio Sen Candidate Bernie Moreno Mocks Gun Owners: ‘Do You Really Need 100 Bullets?’ … Moreno, who former President Trump has endorsed… [More]

I feel another article coming on.
