A major revamp of Cleveland’s gun laws is one step closer to reality, including new changes prompted by the weekend shooting death of 1-year-old Braylon Robinson by a 3-year-old relative. City Council’s Public Safety Committee approved the new gun ordinance during a meeting Wednesday.
Following Robinson’s death at the hands of another toddler who got his hands on a gun, Councilman Kevin Kelley proposed the inclusion of a mandatory 180 day jail sentence and $1,000 fine for anyone convicted of improperly allowing kids access to guns. The ordinance includes exceptions for hunting, sporting and educational purposes. No charges have yet been filed in Robinson’s death. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
