Earlier this year, State Representative Ross McGregor and 75 percent of the Ohio General Assembly voted in favor of your right to defend yourself and your children from violent criminals – criminals who don’t care about “No Guns” signs.

Now the Ohio Democratic Party is attacking McGregor, a Republican, for siding with victims who don’t want to be helpless if they or their children are violently attacked.

Buckeye Firearms Association has obtained two separate political campaign mailers sent to voters in House District 72, which attack McGregor, a Buckeye Firearms Association-endorsee, for his support of Senate Bill 184, Ohio’s Castle Doctrine bill.

Just weeks before the election, and at the exact time when gun owners are becoming more deeply concerned about the party’s nomination of Barack Obama for president, two large full color mailers bearing the name of the Ohio Democratic Party, and Chairman Chris Redfern, were mailed to residents in Rep. Ross McGregor’s House district. The mailers attack McGregor’s support for SB184 as a vote for “more guns in schools” and putting children “in the line of fire.”

In paying for these anti-gun mailers, the Ohio Democratic Party seems to be forgetting that a majority of its own caucus members in the House, including Chairman Redfern himself, voted for this popular legislation, and that a supportive Democrat governor, Ted Strickland, enthusiastically signed it into law.
