DeWine's Gun Violence Bill Gets Many Questions At First Hearing

Democratic state senators had lots of questions for the sponsor of Gov. Mike DeWine’s proposed gun violence bill at its first hearing.

They wanted details about the private gun sales background check system it creates as well as the version of the red flag gun seizure law it includes.

Democrats on the Senate Government Oversight and Reform Committee fired various scenarios at sponsor Sen. Matt Dolan (R-Chagrin Falls), and asked why the bill doesn’t include mandatory background checks or a stronger red flag law.

But, but...he said he wasn't supporting that anymore :twisted:

Oh ok , he said he wasn't supporting it (but if it comes in front of him, will he sign it :?: )

This is NOT a change of position!!! I am simply modifying my original position :P

I don't think it has a chance of passing, based on what I was hearing yesterday. Liberals and conservatives both hate the bill, for opposite reasons.

STRONG Ohio bill will make a difference in controlling gun violence: Matt Dolan
https://www.cleveland.com/opinion/2019/ ... dolan.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I agreed to be the sponsor of Gov. Mike DeWine’s gun reform bill because it is constitutional, effective and, most importantly, will save lives.

I have heard the criticism from both sides and I suggest that they take the time to read Senate Bill 221. What this bill does not do is violate the Second Amendment, and it is certainly not a tepid or watered-down response to Ohioans’ demands for action.
Under current law, a seller can be charged if he acted “recklessly,” which is a difficult legal hurdle. The bill changes that to “negligence,” meaning the seller must exercise ordinary and reasonable care to determine the buyer is not subject to a legal disability. For a modest $10 fee, charged to the buyer, the seller can be assured that is not the case and will not be held liable for the sale.
What's this $10.00 fee, who is it paid to, and do we then have access to run background checks ourselves without a FFL ?

Not saying I like any part of this bill, just curious about this $10.00 'fee' to remove liability.

More likely, another politician explaining something about which he has no clue.

Fee is paid to a sheriff of any county, who will then contact the department of public safety to perform a background check and provide a "seller's protection certificate" if the check comes back clean.

Lots of issues with this part of the bill. New bureaucracy which will of course insert delays in the transaction. Certificate is described as optional, but the seller can require it, and the change to "negligence" from "recklessness" essentially means if you don't require one, you are screwed.

"seller's protection certificate"
''condom wasn't supposed to break certificate''
''I never intended to drink all 12 beers certificate''
''That's the truth so help me or my name isn't William Jefferson Clinton certificate''

etc.

Sir Dolan (Politician' Extraordinaire Magnifique) could possibly find yet OTHER things for gov to do ''please save us from ourselves''

When I was in Haiti there was what we called a "pedestrian permit" on our vehicles. It was insurance we bought and if you hit a pedestrian it was a $50 fine for body disposal and that was it. If you hit a pedestrian without the sticker you were liable to the victims family for whatever income that person was expected to make, or something like that. This "Sellers Protection" is sounding similar.

"Dark money group set up to promote Gov. Mike DeWine’s gun bill"
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Supporters of Gov. Mike DeWine’s gun-reform bill are turning to a new tactic to try to get the bill through the Ohio Senate.

A political nonprofit called Standing by Ohio has launched a digital and direct-mail ad campaign apparently aimed at pressuring the Senate to pass the bill, which last received a committee hearing in December.

Clicking on Standing By Ohio’s ads redirects users to the group’s website, where they can fill out prompts to contact their state senator. The website includes a form letter that begins: “It’s our responsibility to protect our children. I urge you to take action and work with legislators on both sides of the aisle to pass Governor DeWine’s Strong Ohio Bill.”

from the article ^^...
...message seeking comment. As a 501C(4), the group is allowed to engage in political activity, as long as it’s not the majority of its activities, and it’s not required to disclose its donors.

The group has spent $8,000 on Facebook ads, with different versions of the ads naming five Republican state senators — Sens. Louis Blessing, Andy Brenner, Stephen Huffman, Theresa Gavarone and Bob Hackett, according to the social media platform’s ad transparency portal. A contact phone number the group provided to Facebook went straight to a message saying its voicemail hadn’t been set up.

The group’s website is hosted on an IP address owned by Majority Strategies, a major GOP political firm with close ties to DeWine and other Ohio Republicans. A company official didn’t immediately return a message.

Dan Tierney, a DeWine spokesman, said the governor is aware of Standing By Ohio’s ads but hasn’t seen them.

“It’s a bill that will save lives in Ohio. He obviously supports the bill, and wants others to support the bill as well,” he said.

DeWine’s gun bill calls for..

And if you are a buyer or seller of a firearm at a gun show on a weekend, what are you supposed to do? Leave the gun show, go down to the local Sheriff's dept. and try to get a background check? Or rather, wait until a m-f day, make an appt. (like what some Sheriffs do with CCW) because no one is actually doing the background checks on a weekend? :roll:
