One of these news reports is not like the others… Columbus ABC buries news of Bloomberg anti-gun group’s failed rally
by Chad D. Baus
Last week, Buckeye Firearms Association volunteers made national news after they succeeded in out-numbering a tiny rally (mostly-paid staffers) organized by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
The turn of events was covered by everyone from the Washington times to Breitbart.com, all of whom noted the fact that MAIG produced a tiny turnout, with BFA volunteers outnumbering them 10-1.
Perhaps it was WBNC (CBS Columbus) 10TV’s Jim Heath who said it best, when he began his report by saying the rally “certainly answers the question of what exactly happens when you throw a political rally an no one shows up – except your opposition?”

Misinformed South Euclid Council President David Miller sponsors resolution opposing guns in bars…two years late
South Euclid Police Chief Kevin Nietert also seems unaware of current state law on the subject
by Chad D. Baus
The Cleveland Plain Dealer‘s Cleveland.com is reporting that South Euclid, Ohio Council President David Miller has sponsored a council resolution opposing a portion of House Bill 203 involving proposed modifications to Ohio’s self-defense law, as well as another modification to Ohio law that he believes is currently being proposed, but in fact became law nearly two years ago.
The article, written by “Jeff Piorkowski, Northeast Ohio Media Group,” is a journalistic disaster, and I’m honestly not sure whether to comment more on the problems with the poor reporting, or the misinformed council president and police chief. The article is so full of mistakes that it’s hard to figure out what happened here – did the misinformed council president and police chief trigger a misinformed journalist? Or vice versa?
