Gun grabbers trying to push buttons in a battleground state during an election year, thanks for the help!

[Badeye]

Blame the Ohio GOP, its their country club, blue blood attitude that put a Democrat in the governors mansion here.

Unfortunately, Juan McAmnesty is no friend to the Second Amendment, so the Brady Campaign can count on his support when push comes to shove.

Ohio's 13 points out of a possible 100 ranked it 20th of 50 states

According to other rankings, Ohio is slightly safer than the average state.

...now what does that say about Brady's rankings?

[neverdem]

BANG!

[Domandred]

wheeee idaho scored 6 points making it tied for 37th out of 50. apparently we earned 6 points somehow for ‘keeping guns out of public places’ read; victim disarmament school zones, court houses, and airports. probably lost 4 or the possible 10 because we are open carry and shall issue ccw.

Why does anyone care about a “study” which rates states best who suppress constitutional rights the most?

[montag813]

How many innocent people have been murdered as a direct result of Sarah Brady's efforts? How many women have been killed by nutbag husbands on restraining orders while waiting the 5 days to get a gun?

Sarah Brady is a murderer. A criminal. She has the blood of perhaps thousands on her vile hands.

We really need to work on getting our numbers lower! I need to see an -F before I’ll feel comfortable!

[WayneS]

I was saddened to see that my home state of Virginia scored 18 points.

I’ll just try to work harder during next year’s legislative session.

I’m shooting for <5.

A spokeswoman for the National Rifle Association said her organization, which opposes many gun-control laws, would not comment on specifics in the Brady report.

"It is a politically motivated study, and it's not based on facts," NRA spokeswoman Rachel Parsons said.

Well, actually, the NRA ILA did indeed comment on this Brady Center study on February 1st. I wonder if Ms. Parsons was simply unaware of this (perhaps her statement was made prior to February 1st?), or if the reporter, Mr. Johnson, made a misstatement?

In point of fact, I posted the text of the NRA ILA statement on Free Republic at:

  Brady Rankings: More Gun Laws, More Violent Crime

It wouldn't surprise me if it is the former case; the NRA has been hiring some pretty poor representatives in my opinion in the last few years, who have made a few comments to reporters that have not served the organization well. This could well be yet another case of an NRA representative fumbling the ball, or it could be another case where the reporter did not correctly report what the representative said.

Keep up the good work Ohio!

Toby Hoover of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence said Ohio has not passed key laws on mandatory background checks on all gun purchases and bulk purchases of handguns.

Ohio allows bulk purchases of handguns? Without the ATF caring? Wow! Somebody give me the details! :)

AZ - Scored 6, tied for 37th. Woo-hoo!

[Still Thinking]

Anytime the Brady anti-rights pantywaists are unhappy, I’m happy.

[Stonewall Jackson]

My fellow Kentuckians can finally feel good about coming in last place in something!

My state, Missouri scored a 4! That is before we removed getting a permit to buy a handgun.
