A controversial gun bill in the Ohio Statehouse could be passed into law but people against it urged lawmakers Monday to change their minds. House Speaker Ryan Smith, R - Bidwell, said last week he believed there were enough votes in the Republican majority to pass the bill. Smith said the series of gun reforms backed by Governor Kasich had less support among lawmakers than the bill many call "Stand Your Ground". Ohio law allows people to defend themselves in their home or in their car without any duty to retreat. The bill would extend that protection to anywhere someone is legally allowed to be. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
