Cleveland Scene is profiling three local books on influential people. The one I'm interested in is "Fighting the Unbeatable Foe," an apparent paean to the late Senator Howard Metzenbaum.

Why?

Diemer has what could be called institutional knowledge of Metzenbaum's life and career, having covered him for almost a decade. He does a fine job portraying this champion of gun control, abortion rights and people over business.

A "champion of gun control..."

I guess that all depends on the meaning of the word "champion."

We can cut to the chase on this guy--no need to list his many attempts at subverting your right to keep and bear arms--and there were many.

We can learn all we need to know about this "champion" from a comment he made about the Clinton gun ban:

Anti-gun Sen. Howard Metzenbaum complained that the Clinton ban didn't go far enough, saying, "until you ban them all, you might as well ban none." But, it "will be a major step in achieving the objective that we have in mind," he said.

Ban them all. The objective that we have in mind.

Remember that the next time someone from the "common sense gun control" crowd uses the "No one wants to take away your guns" line.

Of course they do.

And they'll keep at it until they figure out how.

That is if we let them.

Our forebears fought foes who thought they were unbeatable. Let us prove ourselves worthy of their sacrifices.
