Meanwhile on Wednesday, faith and community leaders rallied at the Statehouse in favor of gun control. Carrying signs that said “Do Something Now” and “Protect Children, Not Guns,” participants said they want to see Ohio lawmakers expand background checks, pass a red flag law and ban assault weapons and address police brutality.
“I’m here, and everywhere I can be, to speak on police brutality and any kind of gun violence. My son Jemarco was killed in 2017 in Dayton by the police while he slept in his car. I had a son in 2013 that was killed in street violence by guns. Enough is enough. That’s why I’m here,” Sabrina Jordan, Founder of Ohio Families United Against Police Brutality. Jemarco McShann, 23, was killed by Moraine police officers in October 2017.
May I please expand on your eyeroll?
GIVING ALL THE GUNS TO COPS MAKES US

The 2nd Amendment is directly opposed to standing armies. Ohio's RKBA Constitutional clause reads
"The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be kept up; and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power. Art. I, § 4 (enacted 1851).
1802: "That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and the State; and as standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, they shall not be kept up, and that the military shall be kept under strict subordination to the civil power." Art. VIII, § 20. "
This idea that the State has a
monopoly on police power was and is antithetical to the American Philosophy.
You see, one can't be pro standing army (confiscation force) and pro RKBA simultaneously, when these terms are properly defined
(but we've been so very mis-educated that current & former members of the standing army consider themselves staunch RKBA advocates).
IF you are against "police brutality", you are pro RKBA. But in giving a monopoly of force to the police, you enable, encourage and generate more police brutality.
Dewhine is a gem, isn't he...going out and whipping up votes for his tyranny...
