On the BFA website they claim they are for HB228, just opposed to Vitali's admendment to it, also taking a dig at certain other groups without mentioning them by name.Javelin Man wrote:On AM 1370 this afternoon, the talk show host, Scott Sands had a fellow on from Buckeye Firearms and the guest was bragging about how the legislature has been working on 228 and how much work they have been doing to get it passed. Also how good a bill it is because it gets Ohio in with the other 49 states about Stand Your Ground.
A lot of self patting on the back by BFA.

I didn't see a number but the news link said this about overriding a vetoJN01 wrote:Did it pass by enough votes to override the Governors veto?
Jim Irvine, Buckeye Firearms Association board president, said he hopes the bill moves swiftly through the Senate.
“If they don’t get to it soon they’re not going to get to it at all,” he said. “Obviously it’s a lame duck (session) and it’s a compressed time frame. We’re cautiously optimistic the Senate will take it up.”
There are some other interesting comments and information in the news link. Once again the anti gun anti self side is using fear and ignorance to try to make their points.Republicans said the bill stiffens some penalties, including for straw purchases. But Democrats called those slaps on the wrist.
At least 25 states have removed a duty to retreat an attacker before using deadly force, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

In a huge bit of hypocracy, HB228 was opposed by the ACLU.

Yes. I believe 60 are needed and it had 64 votes in favor.JN01 wrote:Did it pass by enough votes to override the Governors veto?

Re: HB 228: Stand your ground + other changes
From a article at Cleveland.com:
By a 64-26, mostly party-line vote Wednesday, the Ohio House passed a GOP-sponsored “stand your ground” bill that eliminates any “duty to retreat” before using force in self-defense, shifts the burden of proof to the state in self-defense cases, and loosens a number of Ohio gun-control rules – including allowing individuals to challenge local gun-control ordinances in court.
The final vote on the bill, House Bill 228, came over the vocal protests of state Rep. Stephanie Howse, a black Democrat from Cleveland who said that several groups, such as the NAACP, have asserted that the bill “is a bad idea for people that look like me.”
Howse, in a floor speech, noted that the bill’s sponsors represent districts that are more than 90 percent white, leading House Speaker Ryan Smith, a Gallia County Republican, to cut her mic after she ignored his warning not to refer to other House members by name.
Smith then called for a vote on the bill, which took place as Howse continued shouting at Smith.
“You just don’t want to have any conversation about race,” she told Smith as the bill passed.
I guess a country boy like me can't understand that a piece of gun legislation is a racist piece of legislation.

History is replete with most previous "gun legislation" (i.e. gun control) having racist origins. This piece of legislation is however not racist and is a small correction to some of those previous laws.qmti wrote: I guess a country boy like me can't understand that a piece of gun legislation is a racist piece of legislation.

They didn't object to the bill (and in fact are trying to take credit for it passing the house.) They objected to the amendment that would have strengthened it even more.M-Quigley wrote:What was BFA's objection to the bill?usmale wrote:At the State House yesterday, never saw a rep from BFA, then today on Facebook they attack anyone who supported the bill, seems like some organizations want to pay themselves a lot of money and not work for all of us, BFA is this kind of group, thank God there are good organizations like this one who steps up and works hard for all of us....

Re: HB 228: Stand your ground + other changes
The amendment that was passed was a "technical amendment" that didn't really change anything but altered the bill in such a way that the strengthening amendment by Vitale would have been out of order because it couldn't be applied as written.rickt wrote:Probably. An amendment was added to the bill but it might be a day or two before we see the wording of the bill as passed.DontTreadOnMe wrote:Am I looking at an outdated version of HB228?

Re: HB 228: Stand your ground + other changes
True, but you can't necessarily count on all of those votes to be willing to override a sitting (albeit lame duck) Governor's veto. We are hopeful, however. Equally hopeful for a similar result from the Senate.rickt wrote:Yes. I believe 60 are needed and it had 64 votes in favor.JN01 wrote:Did it pass by enough votes to override the Governors veto?

As a point of interest, both the Senate and House voted to override a Kasich veto yesterday.

Re: HB 228: Stand your ground + other changes
For those that watched the floor debate, this bill includes some new RKBA regulations for landlords of subsidized housing...did any of that come up?
Anybody got the pulse of the Senate? Will it get to a floor vote?
What are the politics of this? Does the next Statehouse group differ greatly from the current crop (not a veto proof majority)? Is it that there's doubt of Dewine's upcoming support? Is it just attempting to torpedo Kasich's future prospects by escorting him out the door with this?
Why now? What's the impetus for the urgency of the lame duck?

Re: HB 228: Stand your ground + other changes
As I understand it, many things are discussed early on, then slow-walked and not moved on. Then during the lame duck, there is a rush to get things done. I think maybe it is the stuff that politicians are worried will be unpopular with certain demographics. After the election, they don't have as many worries, and the ones who would get angry have short memories.bignflnut wrote:

This is just my observation, and I could be completely wrong. I know that I have gone earlier in the session with OFCC, but nothing was acted on. Then we went back during the lame duck, and hey-presto, it got a vote. (It sometimes gets mangled to unrecognizable in haste, so the system rather stinks.)

Pro-gun bills are almost always passed in the lame duck session. That way the voters have two full years to forget it happened before the legislators have to run for reelection.Why now? What's the impetus for the urgency of the lame duck?
