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.

Wrong Things on Trial

“The Fifth District’s ruling is a victory for The Buckeye Institute and its clients, and all residents of Columbus who want to exercise their constitutional right to bear arms. The ruling means Judge Gormley’s preliminary injunction barring the city from enforcing its unlawful gun magazine ban stands and that our clients will have their day in court.” [More]

When will the rights deniers under cover of false authority have THEIR day in court?

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.

Goodbye Columbus — for Now…

Ohio can enforce a state law intended to ensure uniform firearms regulations across localities. That’s the ruling a unanimous three-judge panel of the state’s Tenth District Court of Appeals handed down on Tuesday. The decision reverses a preliminary injunction issued by a lower court judge to the city of Columbus, Ohio last year. [More]

Of course, child-exploiting City Attorney Zach Klein “vowed to continue fighting the case.”

It’s not his money.

Police Handwringing Over Ohio Permitless Gun Carry A Big Nothing Burger

That’s a version of the old and unfounded-in-reality “blood in the streets/Dodge City over fender benders” argument the gun prohibitionists used when railing against licensed concealed carry. And note his concern was not for “public safety” but for officer safety. [More]

Back the Blue when they don’t back you…?

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.
