On 27 December, 2018, the Ohio legislature voted with more than the two thirds majority required to override Governor Kasich' veto of HB 228.
HB 228 strengthened Ohio's preemption law to prevent erosion of Second Amendment rights in Ohio. The right to own, possess, and carry weapons has been under attack by several cities in Ohio. The City of Columbus is attempting to block the new law with a lawsuit.
The City of Columbus claims that it has home rule authority to pass ordinances pertaining to the ability to own or possess firearms and firearm accessories. |

| They are ordinances that deprive law abiding citizens of their rights. Why should good people have their rights held hostage because of governments inept ability to control criminals? |

Good comment Stripeseven.
Between bail, probation, and simply skipping out on trial, the odds of getting punished for serious crime has become such that the criminals have no fear of doing serious prison time. |

| I wonder if the good citizens of Columbus consider themselves well-served by their government flushing their tax dollars down the commode in pursuit of a lawsuit it cannot win. |

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]. |
