OFCC Sues City of Cleveland Heights, Ohio The sign you see here is posted in Cleveland Heights Parks implying possession of a firearm is a crime. On Friday August 12th, 2011 Ohioans For Concealed Carry Filed a lawsuit against the City the City of Cleveland Heights. The litigation comes after many attempts to resolve concerns over laws that Cleveland Heights not only allowed to remain on their books, but also posted signs at their parks that continue to imply it is illegal to be armed. The City of Cleveland Heights has chosen to ignore our attempts at civil discourse. When individuals have contacted them representing themselves as residents of the City of Cleveland Heights their concerns apparently fell on deaf ears. When representatives of the organization have formally contacted the city's legal representation they've been laughed at and hung up on by the Law Director. It is this arrogance and refusal to work with Ohioans For Concealed Carry that has forced us to seek a remedy through the courts.

Gun ban extremists praise two U.S. senators for seeking pistol ban

The gun ban lobby is forging ahead with calls for banning an expensive and rare pistol, despite having been proven to be selling a lie just last month.

From the story:

    New Jersey's two senators, Jon Corzine and Frank Lautenberg say they will be introducing a bill that would make it illegal for anyone except police and military officials to purchase or use an assault pistol that fires bullets capable of penetrating bulletproof vests.

    "There is absolutely no reason anyone other than law enforcement or the military should possess firepower capable of piercing protective body armor," Lautenberg said.
But as OFCC reported last month, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) has stated that the ammunition used in FN Herstal's "Five-SeveN," is "not armor piercing" under Federal law.

BATFE also noted that in tests by FN--one of Europe's most respected firearm manufacturers--bullets from the Five-SeveN wouldn't penetrate two kinds of soft body armor (you can see BATFE's statement at: http://www.atf.gov/firearms/firearmstech/fabriquen.htm).

Why do media outlets like Newsday continue to dutifully report this news without noting the BATFE's corrections?
