Ohio Issue 1 - The War on Guns

And So It Begins

Proposed Ohio constitutional amendment would end qualified immunity for state workers [More]

I’m well aware of the abuses. That said, with the backing of Buckeye collectivists and BLM, why do I get the feeling this is less about ensuring appropriate “Only Ones” conduct and more about Cloward-Piven wealth transfers and turning urban areas into Portland?

There’s a reason Dave Yost has rejected the language twice. Productive sector taxpayers who believed the “No on 1″ lies are about to get some advanced economics and sociology lessons.

The Number One Issue

With all precincts reporting, and 58,000 absentee and provisional ballots outstanding, the measure was failing by a margin of 57.01% to 42.99%. [More]

Down in flames. But it does show that a 60% threshold would have kept the tyranny of the majority at bay, at least for now.

I felt this was going to lose bigly just based on observable yard sign saturation, and was also disappointed in the outreach efforts of the “Yes on 1” campaign. This was a statewide campaign and only had “782 likes • 1K followers” on Facebook and “687 Followers” on Twit…uh…X.

Anyone who think this was just about abortion is wearing blinders.

Ah, well, if Democrats want to cull their next generation of voters…

What We Want You to Know

What is Ohio’s Issue 1? We explain [More]

As only the DSM can.

Tell me leaving out gun owner interests wasn’t a lie of omission.

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.

The Better to Enslave You With

In other words, big city liberals want to deal only with people in their own political strongholds. They don’t want rural, small-town Ohioans to have a say. [More]

It’s the model established nationwide by Michael Bloomberg and Everytown.

I have an Issue 1 article coming out later today on AmmoLand.

Gotta Serve Somebody

“We should be serving people. Is 60% serving the people?” said Akron Mayor Daniel Horrigan… going from majority rule to 60% rule that’s pretty significant of a change,” said Horrigan. [More]

So I guess he really hates the federal requirements and considers his judgment superior to the Framers’. Nothing like changing the Constitution by ginned-up mob rule to guarantee somebody will be served.

Daniel’s the same Democrat liar (but I repeat myself) who wants us to believe infringements against you and me are what would have saved Na’kia, Mar’Viyah, and MiKayla.

Where do you think the national socialists got the idea from?

Their entire agenda, especially citizen disarmament, depends on it.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
