Tell Legislators They MUST Pass SB 185 to Stop Cities from Enacting Emergency Gun Control
Critical legislation that prevents government from restricting firearms during an emergency has hit a snag in the closing days of session at the Ohio Statehouse.
Senate Bill 185 prohibits local and state government from restricting the purchase, transfer, carry, or possession of a firearm as part of a declared emergency or a declared public nuisance.
The bill is critical to protecting the rights of gun owners. Just this month, the city of Columbus passed an ordinance banning magazines that hold 30 or more rounds and mandating storage of firearms.
Columbus believes it can do this if they declare an emergency or a public nuisance, allowing them to circumvent Ohio's firearms preemption law.
How long before Cincinnati, Cleveland, Akron or Toledo enact similar ordinances under the guise of an emergency or a public nuisance?
The language in Senate Bill 185 would slam the door on this backdoor attempt at taking your gun rights away. Ohio's Senators and Representatives need to hear from gun owners that this bill MUST pass.
