“The Fraternal Order of Police is committed to working with the Ohio General Assembly in a productive manner to genuinely address those sections of current law that need clarified and not make unnecessary changes which substantially increase the risk of law enforcement.”

Gee, he is concerned with how to protect the government from the people. And there lies a problem.

My simple answer is no.

“Reasonable restrictions will lead to confiscation, which I hope will lead to our second Big Bang.”

The term "elitist" should be banned from political discourse. Historically employed by the left to make the point that the producers in society have the "obligation" to support the poor/the "werkin man", it has been employed by the center-right as well, starting with Nixon's "southern strategy" to attack those of education and refinement in order to score votes from Joe Six-Pack.

Populism is merely socialism by another name. We should leave levelling to the Jacobins.

The Other Paper: when liberal daily rags just aren’t leftist enough. They’ve been spewing their special brand of Marxism-lite for years now with a special, erm, eye on the buggery crowd.

No worse than The Dispatch. In fact, lately, The Dispatch has been worse than The Other Paper on RKBA issues.
