Ohio Democrat Rep. Willis E Blackshear Jr Invents New Scare Term To Demonize Guns

In what may be an effort to raise his political profile, State Rep. Willis E. Blackshear Jr.—a candidate in the 6th District State Senate race—has come up with a new term to demonize semiautomatic firearms, but it still won’t fool Buckeye State voters, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says.

Blackshear, a Dayton Democrat, now calls modern rifles “mass casualty weapons!?”

As though the gun, rather than some deranged criminal who might create mayhem, is somehow responsible for a hideous crime. According to a news release from his office, his bill is a response to a tragic 2019 shooting in Dayton’s Oregon district.

“This is just another attempt by a politician running for higher office to make a campaign headline, while using new terminology to alarm or even terrify the public,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “It has been nearly five years since killer Connor Betts was fatally shot by police, bringing an end to his senseless rampage, but instead of pointing to his deranged fantasies about mass shootings, his far left political leanings and his sympathies for Antifa, Blackshear focuses on the firearm the madman used.

“Let’s see now,” Gottlieb continued. “The gun prohibition movement has tried the terms ‘assault weapons’ and ‘weapons of war,’ and even ‘weapons of mass destruction.’ Now, all of a sudden, Rep. Blackshear has come up with something new to incite the same old anxieties anti-gunners have always had over the fact that Americans like firearms and dislike the efforts to ban them.

“Why did it take Blackshear all this time to introduce his bill,” he wondered. “Could it have anything to do with the fact that he’s in a three-way race for the state Senate position against two other Democrats who also favor restrictive gun laws, and he wants a headline?

“In the final analysis,” Gottlieb concluded, “Blackshear wants to ban a certain class of firearms which are enormously popular and commonly-owned, not just in Ohio but across the country. He can call them whatever provocative name he wants, but it still comes down to a gun ban effort. Perhaps instead of guns, Blackshear should focus on getting rid of criminals. That would be an effort Buckeye State gun owners could get behind.”

He is prime example of what is wrong with the USA. Sadly, we elect these POS to office to represent us….well I dont, and I do not think many that read Ammoland do either.

Whew, pulled it out in the end. Scared me for a second though.

It would have been better if he’d just kept silent on the issue and not demonstrated his unique ability to step all over his tongue. To refer to this poser as a politician is a grave insult to those politicians who actually perform their duties honestly (assuming there are a few who meet this qualification).

“Mass casualty weapons?” You mean like vans and pressure cookers?

Another piece of garbage that needs to taken out with the trash!!! Ohio please I beg you please don’t become like my state of Connecticut. Please put out these small fires of gun control before they become forest fires like Connecticut. This deadly philosophy will fester and grow if it stays unchecked!!! I urge you to take it from me, Ohio and especially anyone from the Montgomery County area. Throw this bum out of office ASAP!!! Connecticut was long ago was a very gun friendly state and after decades of rabid anti gun hijacking of our state Congress we’ve been… Read more »

How about we remind Willis that it’s members of his race, blacks, that are killing a lot of people all over the country! In cities with large black populations, it’s blacks that are doing most of the killing! Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Kansas City, Houston, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati and New Orleans, just to name a few, are hot beds of gang activity! Carjackings and drive-by shootings are an everyday occurrence, and are most often committed by blacks or black gang members! So, I suggest that instead of labeling semiautomatic firearms as “Mass Casualty” weapons, we call blacks the “Mass Casualty”… Read more »

I would say Demokkkrats are the mass casualty race since they do 99.9% of the mass shootings.

Yep, as a very proud American who happens to be Black I have to say that you’re sadly spot on because we are our OWN biggest threat to ourselves!!! Dayton is where this clown represents is a festering rotten stinking nasty Sierra Hotel India Tango hole along with all other demonrat strongholds!!!
