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

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’re the Only Ones Undistracting Enough

Ohio’s new distracted driving law goes into effect on Tuesday, April 4. The law makes it a primary traffic offense for all drivers to use a phone or other device while a vehicle is moving, and if caught, it could come with a $150 fine and two points on your license. [More]

If you’re from or drive through Ohio and are armed, you’ll probably want to minimize excuses for the cops to pull you over. Some of them have a tendency to not exactly empathize with the decision…

The People Have Spoken?

A controversial bill to expand gun rights had its third hearing at the Ohio Statehouse on Tuesday. About 80 people submitted opponent testimony, compared to just over 20 who testified in favor of House Bill 51, known as the Second Amendment Preservation Act, last week; opponents said that alone should be a signal of what Ohioans want. [More]

Or it could just mean one side didn’t figure it was necessary for this hearing to push supporters for a huge turnout so the other side, with Astroturf financing and no shortage of unemployed cud-chewers with nothing better to do, decided to play media “Gotcha!”

As for the will of the people, you’ll notice the hearing is about restorations, not prohibitions.

Any bets if you looked deeper that you’d find “Mary Miller” is more than just a random “opponent of the bill”?

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...?

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.
