With the latest internal Polls showing Strickland in the lead, John Kasich stands on gun control may end up costing him the election when polls open on Tuesday.
"Until recently, Kasich and DeWine have had no use for gun owners in Ohio," said Jim Irvine, Chairman of Buckeye Firearms Association. "But as election day gets closer and the polls get tighter, they're suddenly treating us like long-lost friends. It's like they're saying to gun owners, you're stupid. Ignore our anti-gun records and vote for us."
"It's laughable," said Irvine. "In fact, it's outright insulting. Even though Kasich and DeWine are Republicans, they both have a long and infamous record of working against Ohio gun owners. Democrats Strickland and Cordray are proven, steadfast friends."
Kasich was graded F from the NRA for his vote on handgun restrictions in 1986 and the Clinton/Schumer Gun Ban vote in 1994. NRA and the Buckeye Firearms Association are urging gun owners in Ohio to vote for Ted Strickland for his solid defends on gun control and as many of you know when you have that kind of backing it helps a lot in a close governor race in a tough election cycle.
