Decisions that have long-term, potentially irreversible consequences, need a heavy dose of adult thinking. As a society, we are not protecting our children. After all, it takes a village to raise a child.

With a divided government – remember that the White House and Senate are controlled by Democrats – it is unrealistic to expect many of our ideas to become law, but we have used our position to highlight and push policies that the American people largely support.

A Delaware County judge Tuesday morning put on hold a controversial gun law recently passed by the city of Columbus.
