  5. Bumpstocks: So it continues

    COLUMBUS, Ohio

    After Columbus City Council approved what members call "common sense" gun laws, Monday, President Shannon Hardin gave this statement:

     

    "This package was about keeping our community safe. It's about doing what we can do as a city to make sure that we are abating gun violence in Columbus."

     

    Monday evening, Chuck LaRosa with Ohioans for Concealed Carry gave this statement:

     

    "We've already been in touch with our attorneys and we believe there may be numerous actionable violations of state law."

     

    LaRosa says the organization is looking carefully at what was passed and will plan its next steps, which could include legal action.

     

    Council passed ordinances that close the gaps between state and federal weapons laws, including the banning of bump stocks.

     

    LaRosa says that's illegal.

     

    He says Ohio's Revised Code 9.68 that deals with the right to bear arms states a person may own, possess, purchase or sell any firearm, part of a firearm, its ammunition and it's components.

     

    LaRosa says a bump stock is a component.

     

    "By banning the bump stock, they're banning what the ATF [bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] has long-determined, many times determined to be a gun component," he said.

     

    The city also says no imitation guns can be sold to minors. LaRosa says that only adds to the "illusion of the forbidden fruit" to children.

     

    Also, the new laws would protect victims of domestic violence, which can take away firearms from those involved in a domestic violence situation, or a violation of a protection order.

     

    "What we have is a comprehensive plan that really speaks to neighborhood safety and community safety," Hardin said.

     

    Hardin says out of 143 homicides in Columbus in 2017, 80 percent of those involved guns. He did not say, however, how many could have been prevented if laws like these were in place.

     

    "Did he say anything about how many youngsters were killed in cars," LaRosa asked. "Or, what they're doing about that? It's many times more than what's happening with guns."

     

    The city is prohibiting gun sales in residential areas and going after properties where a felony offense has happened.

     

    "We believe that it is important for the city to step up and to act and to do what we can and to keep neighborhoods safe," Hardin said. "And, we believe that this plan is a good step in that direction."

     

    Four ordinances. Eleven policies looking to make Columbus safer, but some fear it's at too steep a price.

     

    "The city should not be allowed to violate what is an enumerated right in the U. S. Constitution and the State Constitution," LaRosa said.

  6. Bumpstocks: So it begins

    CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Cincinnati has become the first city in Ohio to pass an official ban on bump stocks.

     

    The Cincinnati City Council voted 7-2 to pass legislation banning the sale, possession and use of bump stocks Wednesday.

     

    Bump stocks are attachments that can make semi-automatic weapons fire nearly as fast as fully-automatic weapons. The device came under scrutiny following the massacre in Las Vegas where 58 people were killed and hundreds more injured at a music festival. Police said the shooter used bump stocks.

     

    The legislation was proposed by council member P.G. Sittenfeld.

     

    "There comes a time when people need to decide if some perverted interpretation of the 2nd Amendment granting anyone the right to own what's basically a machine gun overrides the right of people to stay alive and not be gunned down by a weapon of war," Sittenfeld said in a statement Wednesday.

     

    "No city should tacitly condone a device which is specifically intended to maximize carnage. I'm proud that Cincinnati has stepped up to lead the charge on this common sense reform, joining just a few other cities across the country."

    Anyone want to provide some place for it to be hosted and shared?

    As a high school teacher, I think what needs to be done is to provide more mental health care counselors at every school in a ratio where one can adequately care for a xx number of students instead of 1 to 500. That alone is our first defense as they can identify and take action if a student is showing homicidal tendencies. Second step is to have a cop, not a rentacop but an actual cop at the school actively patrolling in the school. Third, eliminate the standards and testing placed on students and teachers. We already have a tough time doing all of the required things and leave us with a speck of time to actually teach and form a rapport with our students.

     

    I guarantee that if these things are done, shootings will be a thing of the past

  23. New car recommendations

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    My budget is definitely a solid 23-24k.

     

    I did locate a low low mileage 2015 300S RWD locally but no CPO or moonroof 14k miles for 20k

     

    You can add a 2 year Bumper to Bumper MaxCare Warranty from Dodge for $1200. Basically makes it a CPO.
