The group, which includes Sittenfeld, Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence founder Toby Hoover and God Before Guns founder Rev. Kris Eggert, planned to submit its first 1,000 signatures before the end of April. From there, they will court national groups like Americans for Responsible Solutions, founded by former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, and Everytown for Gun Safety, said Cliff Schecter, a Hyde Park resident and CEO of the progressive non-profit Majority Ohio.

Funny, I was just informed of this article today and it looks like Sittenfelds plans aren't going anywhere, anytime soon, though it could still make the ballot, it's very, VERY unlikely now. :D

He was on local talk radio today. No mention of this effort. (Not surprising.) He's rather dodgy, but it sounds like he's shopping for a state level elected position.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

I saw a bumper sticker for him today. Since I don't really care what he thinks, I didn't take much note... but I think it was for state senate.

That sticker may have been from his failed primary challenge to Strickland.

...Sittenfeld ran an upstart campaign for the Senate, losing the March 15 Democratic primary to former Gov. Ted Strickland. Strickland faces GOP incumbent Rob Portman in November.

But have his weapons to hand:

Or what menace meet on the road.

I think that is what it was also. An anti gun relative of mine was so disappointed that he lost, because he had such a "courageous"stance on gun control. :roll: Prior to the voting, a group was running anti Strickland ads in my area, (predominately rural) showing a shadow of Strickland's face on the side of an AR-15, and talking about his past association with the NRA, like it was a bad thing or something. When I saw a former coworker of mine during that time I asked him if he'd seen the ad and what he thought of it. (He's pro democrat and a union official) His comment was that the first thought when he saw it was that it was a nice looking AR. :lol:

I don't think Sittenfeld has anything to worry about job wise. With his stance on guns, he could easily get a job in the Clinton administration next year. :(

Sittenfeld has this fake humility thing going on the surface. But listen a little closer, he's sure that he's the smartest person in the room. Show the least negativity towards his political positions, he'll block you from commenting in any social media he's a part of. But yet, he says he wants to listen to "all ideas".
