Re: SB 142: Regulate firearms seizure, prevent registry
It'll go nowhere this time as the bill is pretty pointless.
1) 9.68 already prevents a registration. So nowhere in Ohio can we have a registration at the state or local level.
2) State law can't override federal law or federal agents. So if they want to create a registry, this would immediately be shot down as unenforceable in any federal court.
3) It includes safety of the officer or another person. That's a catch all for holding onto a weapon. I haven't really read any cases that "officer safety" couldn't fit into why the officer took the weapon.
