Ohio state representative Nino Vitale (R-Urbana) is pushing legislation to nullify the enforcement of President Obama’s executive gun controls within the state.
Vitale’s legislation–the “Ohio Federal Gun Law Nullification Act”–prohibits “enforcement of federal gun laws and executive orders relating to all firearms in the state.”
According to the Dayton Daily News, Vitale points to Obama’s January 5 executive gun controls as an example of federal overreach from which Ohioans should be shielded. He is “a member of the National Rifle Association and a concealed-carry instructor, and [argues] the U.S. Constitution doesn’t give the federal government the power to determine gun laws in the states.”

Unless there are some teeth in the bill to punish those who try to enforce the federal laws and to punish those who allow the federal laws to be enforced then it is just so much hot air.

It's a nice thought, but until the Supremes change their mind about 'affects interstate commerce', it's just a thought.
