DeWine Whines

"In a lengthy speech on the Senate floor, the former Greene County prosecutor lashed out at the bill, which would require gun victims to prove that a crime had been committed before they could bring a civil lawsuit against the firearms industry." [More]

We can't have that, can we? No, we want to sue people who have complied with all the state and federal laws.

I'm originally from Ohio. If I still lived there, I'd be doing my best to put this fascist out to pasture--even if it meant letting a Sara Brady democrat win for a cycle. There is no other way to teach Ohio republicans the lesson that a choice unacceptable to gun owners will always lose.

I wish there was a way to convince all republicans of the same. Some of us do what we can, but fear of democrats seems to cow most people into settling for a perceived lesser evil.

Until we change that, nothing else will change. It doesn't have to.

Just What We Need:

NRA stumping for edicts to tell people what they can and cannot do with their private property. [More]

As loathsome as it might be, if I own a piece of property and you want to access it, and as long as I'm not forcing you to do so, I have a right to set the rules. You then have the right to tell me where to stick those rules, bypass me and mine in your commercial dealings, and rally people of like mind to do the same.

You do NOT have the right to impose your rules on my property under force of government arms.

The proper response to corporate anti-gun policies is exposure and consumer activism. I fear the use of state-enforced coercion over private property decisions provides too much potential to blow up in our faces, what with precedent and legal penumbras and all.
