Blame the Ohio GOP, its their country club, blue blood attitude that put a Democrat in the governors mansion here.
A Democrat that is considerably more pro-gun than Taft was.
The Ohio GOP is a disaster, and their corruption and incompetence prevented a conservative Governor from being elected, because all Strickland had to do was run against Taft, which wasn't hard with his single digit approval ratings.
Ken Blackwell, an excellent candidate, lost badly following the Taft debacle. I’m sure Taft had a lot to do with it, but it seemed that for his experience, education, and communication ability he should have done much better.
The major culprit were the host of republican candidates and their wars for the nomination. They were all — including Blackwell — flat broke after they fought each other so hard.
I’m sure there’s a lesson in there somewhere.
What a joke. There is no correlation between the Brady scale and “gun crime”. By the Brady score card, Oklahoma and Kentucky should be like the wild west, scoring the lowest at only 2 points. But looking at the gun crime stats http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States_by_state and Oklahoma ranks 23 and Kentucky ranks 20.
