Thank you for posting this.

Here's the money quote:
“Ohio Revised Code 9.68 encompasses ownership, possession, purchase, acquisition, transport, storage, carry, sale, transfer, their components, guns and ammunition,” Klein said. “It’s like they sat around with a thesaurus and looked at every verb that had to do with owning a gun.”

Which is EXACTLY what they just did while trying to find a loophole in ORC 9.68.


That one about selling in a residence better be a zoning ordinance
Ain't activism fun?

And better not be specific to firearms.

And I don't think they can get away with the bump stock ban either - depends on the definition of "components" as used under ORC 9.68.

Getting an FFL in a residential area has always been a zoning issue, an FFL is a business license and you have to prove youre Commercial or have a zoning variance to allow your business in a residential area.

This is how the kitchen table guys can exist, somewhat.

But the silly thing is, we all had to do this already, and none of the stores in the city are affected by it. Actualy beyond us there is very little retail front end anyway.

Of course, we need to see what the legislation ends up as

Like I said, we need to see the legislation first.
So far all we have is an announcement and a press conference
Let's all keep watching for it

Not all of those will be affected. Vances Outdoors/Law Enforcement and Mike's Pawn are in Clinton Twp, with a columbus Zip Code/mailing Address.

This {inappropriate language} me off for two reasons. One, the obvious stupid attempt at gun control. And two, now the Columbus city council is going to be wasting my tax money the same way Cleveland has been wasting theirs. It's like local politicians don't even realize state law applies to them or something.

They realize it. They just don't care and think they are special little snowflakes that can do what they want anyway.

The overwhelming majority of “gun violence” is gang related, and I haven’t seen it even mentioned so far

Exactly, we both know why that is too. Because they know that gun control won't do anything to change gun crime. It'll only affect law abiding citizens.
