Columbus Dispatch weighs in on background checks.
"States should step up their reporting to the federal list, and laws should be rewritten to require that background checks also be run on purchasers who buy via the Internet, gun shows and other means."
Okay, then the editors (and owners of the paper) won't have any problem with a requirement that every private automobile transaction at the Columbus Dispatch classifieds and its online counterpart require proof to the Clerk of Courts BEFORE paperwork can be transferred that the buyer has passed both a criminal background check and a refresher driver's ed examination? Remember, cars kill.
NOTE: The Dispatch conveniently does not address the courageous actions of the young woman who stopped the Colorado church shooting with her personal firearm. Hmmm. . . . perhaps it does not fit the paper's agenda?

why am i not surprised!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have the Wolfes ever written a pro-gun editorial in their paper?
The Wolfes do not write their own editorials. Members of an editorial board write the pieces they want, and send them around for comment from other members of same board. These members feel they have a sense of what the Wolfes, who own the Dispatch properties (Dispatch newspaper, 10TV WBNS television, WBNS Radio, This Week newspapers, and more)would be comfortable with. The irony is that as much as the Wolfes publicly do not like private firearms ownership (based on publication editorials), they would not want such restrictions place on themselves. You know, the "everyone is equal but some of us are more equal than others" philosophy.
