Here is an interesting statement from Cordray from 2010. It's too bad he doesn't believe it today. Despite his support of gun rights, he lost to Dewine anyway, so maybe he thinks gun rights don't matter anymore?
Here's a video of Cordray from 2010, from 4:32 mark to the end. It's a shame that there isn't more candidates from either party that actually believe this todayIn 2010, when campaigning for attorney general, Cordray said of gun rights: “These are rights that don’t depend on putting them in a constitution. These are rights that we have as human beings. They’re natural rights. They extend beyond any government, whatever form that takes. The Constitution merely reminds government to respect and honor these freedoms.”

Most politicans seem to think that the voters are stupid and won't remember what they previously said, (despite the existence of on line resources) or they have an attitude of "That was then, this is now, tomorrow it will be something else)
I know it's never going to happen, but it would be nice to fantisize about the choices in this fall being between Mary Taylor and the Richard Cordray from 2010.
While it seems obvious that Mary Taylor is the obvious choice for someone who cares about gun rights in Ohio, what happens if she doesn't get the nomination? What if in the fall it ends up being a choice between an F rated Republican or an F rated Democrat?
There's a friend of mine who doesn't usually vote in the nomination process for either major party, as he doesn't completely support all of either the far right wing Republication or the far left wing Democratic party platforms. On most political issues, he's a moderate. The problem is, he's a strong gun rights supporter, and is usually disappointed with what ends up being the candidates in the fall to choose from. He think voting third party is a wasted vote. He normally doesn't go to political rallys but he went to the statehouse and really appreciated what Hickok45 said about people other than Republicans who also support gun rights issues.
Regarding the upcoming election day, he said he didn't know if he should vote for a particular candidate from one of the two parties, and if so, should he try to make sure Taylor gets the nomination over Dewine, or Cordray gets the nom over the other dem candidates?
