SB 219: Prohibit accelerating semi-automatic firearm's rof

Post by rickt »

I suppose this bill was inevitable. Normally anti-gun bills have no traction in the Republican dominated General Assembly. Will that continue?
S. B. No. 219 - Senator Thomas.
Cosponsors: Senators Schiavoni, Sykes, Yuko, Brown, Tavares.
To amend sections 2923.13 and 2923.14 and to enact section 2923.133 of the Revised Code to prohibit certain conduct regarding trigger cranks, bump-fire devices, and other items that accelerate a semi-automatic firearm's rate of fire but do not convert it into an automatic firearm.

I would demand that any item to be banned would have to be EXACTLY named and described. No ambiguous or "other items" in the language.

Then we can discuss its demise as a bill.

Agreed. That oughta keep 'em busy for a while. They might even have to think about what they are doing.

Trouble is on the face this sounds perfectly reasonable to the uninformed. Even some gun owners who don't get into the weeds about guns and gun laws.

There will be a lot of..."I believe in the second amendment but"...in the conversations about this bill.

Here's the relevant section:
Sec. 2923.133. (A) On and after the date that is one
hundred eighty days after the effective date of this section, no
person shall import, manufacture, sell, transfer, or possess a
trigger crank, a bump-fire device, or any part, combination of
parts, component, device, attachment, or accessory that is
designed or functions to accelerate the rate of fire of a semiautomatic
firearm but not convert the semi-automatic firearm
into an automatic firearm.
(B) This section does not apply with respect to the
importation for, manufacture for, sale to, transfer to, or
possession of any item specified in division (A) of this section
by or under authority of the United States or any department or
agency of the United States or by this state, any other state,
or a department, agency, or political subdivision of this state
or any other state.
(C) Whoever violates division (A) of this section is
guilty of "illegal rate-of-fire acceleration conduct," a felony
of the fourth degree.

Firstly, notice they exempt the government (so they can keep the ones you turn in)
Second, They are creating a whole new piece of law that doesn't exist currently, ORC 2923.133
Thirdly, notice the term "any part, combination of
parts, component, device, attachment, or accessory that is
designed or functions to accelerate the rate of fire"
That could be anything from elevated sights to a pistol grip to a barrel shroud
Make no doubt about it, they want the entire AR platform banned in the end
And fourthly: the mere possession of this piece of plastic will become a felony.

Rest assured, OFCC will be tracking this bill and will let you know if and when any action is needed

It wouldn't be far fetched, considering the language in the bill.

and what is the definition of conduct in an electronic dictionary?

Conduct: the manner in which a person behaves, especially on a particular occasion or in a particular context.

Inanimate objects by themselves are not capable of conduct, are they?

Our latest email before it's sent.
Fellow pro-gun Ohioans,


The anti-gun forces are trying exactly what we warned you they would do. Senate Bill 219 has been introduced to the Ohio Senate to ban any device that can "accelerate rate of fire" like the much-maligned bump-stocks. Obviously, OFCC stands firmly against this:

OFCC is fighting back. See this 2-part video where one of our distinguished members, Mike Newbern, debates a gun control advocate in a special aired by Spectrum Cable this past Sunday:

Don't forget about the November 4 & 5 class by accomplished author Andrew Branca. Tell your friends, especially those involved in legal practice as they can get Continuing Legal Education units for attending. These classes are being co-hosted by Munitions Law Group, OFCC, and The American Legion Department of Ohio:

If you think that we should be continuing the fight against these reactionary pieces of anti-gun legislation please help OFCC by donating to the cause here:

Well since none of the stocks, cranks nor anything else are capable of increasing the rate of fire above one round per trigger press, this bill really should not ban anything. :D

The email has hit the Ammoland website

Also, Mike's socks were rockin in that video.
You could see the nosepicking anti pop a fuse in his brain when Mike made the 1st Amendment-Youtube-TV function point (which the anti never refuted or even addressed).
Well played.

One of the WLW am 700 news broadcasts reported about the proposed legislation and Kasich's support of it. At the very end there was one sentence that said the Buckeye firearms association and Ohioans for concealed carry oppose it. because "it would reduce gun rights." No other reason given, nothing about how the wording of the legislation could be misused or anything. :roll:

Kasich has become the new Bob Taft IMHO.
