CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann, during a recording of the Ohio Matters podcast, elaborated on his recent cleveland.com opinion column on the National Rifle Association. Dann believes the NRA works to convince its members that some gun-control measures will will lead to a ban on all guns. "In 40 years around politics, I am not aware of any serious person that's ever proposed keeping people from having handguns for personal protection or hunting rifles - ever," Dann said during the recording of the Ohio Matters podcast. When reached for comment, the NRA referred cleveland.com to the response it gave the Associated Press about Dann's opinion piece. "Ohioans support the Second Amendment and vote on the issue," Jennifer Baker, Director of Public Affairs for the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, told the AP. "NRA ratings are important to voters who want to know where their elected officials stand on protecting their constitutional right to self-defense before they head to the polls." He said that he believes the public is ahead of politicians on their view of guns. He also said he believes that the issue will factor into the Democratic primary for gubernatorial candidates such as Dennis Kucinich, who is making gun control a focus in his campaign. Dann also spoke about his life after politics. Mary Taylor.

WASHINGTON — He felt stung by the politics that helped define his life — and resolved to keep a distance. But in death, the Rev. Some 30 family members are accompanying Graham’s casket to Washington, where he befriended presidents of both parties and counseled others over seven decades. Graham is lying in honor beneath the iconic dome Wednesday, before a funeral Friday near his home in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Rotunda entrances were draped with black fabric and set up for lawmakers and family members to stand around the casket, ringed by the Rotunda’s paintings of the nation’s founders. Graham’s casket will rest on a black-draped catafalque beneath the soaring ceiling and its painting, the “Apotheosis of Washington.” “If there is any American whose life and life’s work deserves to be honored by laying in honor in the U.S. Capitol, it’s Billy Graham,” Ryan said. Graham counseled him as Arkansas governor, and later as president in the White House itself. “In that little room, he was the same person I saw when I was 11 on that football field,” Clinton said Tuesday after viewing the casket at Graham’s home. Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, also visited Graham’s home on Tuesday. Trump met Graham at the pastor’s 95th birthday party in 2013, but is closer to Franklin Graham Jr. On Friday, Trump was to attend Graham’s funeral near his library in Charlotte, North Carolina.
