Clevelanders could offer them all some sobering advice from the front lines.
For more than a decade, Mayor Frank Jackson and City Council have tried to impose restrictions on gun sales and ownership. And more often than not, they have been thwarted by state lawmakers, gun-rights groups or the courts.
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. . . Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them."

I decided to post a comment with a nice little analogy for Ryllie to ponder.
"An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life."
-- Robert A. Heinlein, Beyond This Horizon
"Remember that protecting our gun rights still boils down to keeping a majority in the electorate, and that our daily activities can have the impact of being ambassadors for the gun culture ..."

Why would they want to? Back when they could, they complained that their city ordinances were ineffective because the state or other areas outside the major cities didn't pass the same legislation they had. People could just ignore the city and go get what they wanted from the suburbs, or move there, leading to a loss of revenue to the city.

We know that but the low information voters they pander to couldn't connect those same dots if their lives depended on it..that is proven every day.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Because "Cleveland" isn't a nation or sovereign state?
Maybe "Cleveland" should become "West Pennsylvania"!
