Thank you for bringing this bill to the forum here.

I emailed the bills sponsor and co-sponsor to personally thank them for introducing SB36 to protect our second amendment rights!

Buckeyes please take the 5 minutes to send an email to our elected officials to express the support of this bill!

Thank you and God bless.

We are in for a fight though, . . . gotta keep the pressure on.

May God bless,

You realize these state laws have zero effect on FEDERAL law, right?

How so? Ky waited but now finally introduced a bill based on the fact that some other bill about guns they were going to pass might hinder federal enforcement in the state. Of course now thats not a concern since its what they want to do.

As far as I know unless power is specifically given to the Feds by the Constitution which 2A isnt then it is reserved to the states or the people.

If the law has teeth and is enforced it will. Federal agents do not have immunity from state and local laws. I gather there isn't much support in Columbus.

Handcuffs work on federal agents just as well as on anyone else. If the law is enforced it will work. Not many people will risk going to prison for life over a job.

Didn't Ohio just introduce a bill to ban all magazines 10 rounds and over?

Yes, but S.B. 18 (assault weapon bill) has very little chance from what I have been hearing back from my senator.

Bravo! The states need to stand up and protect the rights that are rightfully theirs and not let the federal government trample on them. After all it is the United STATES of America and not Obamaland. Most of the power was intended to remain with the state governments with the federal government having a few limited powers rather than the massive power grab that the Feds continually pursue.

Maybe so - maybe not.
A passage of state laws would send a clear message to a senator of exactly how the people of his/her state really thought.
In this case, both of the Ohio senators are on board with more federal gun control and will work to see it passed.

If "we the people" of Ohio say we don't want it, then they should back off.

Ever hear of the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supremacy_Clause

See above.
When in performance of their official duties they do.

The Supremacy Clause only applies if Congress is acting in pursuit of its constitutionally authorized powers. Federal laws are valid and are supreme, so long as those laws were adopted in pursuance of—that is, consistent with—the Constitution.
KEY POINT ^^^

Quote:
The Supreme Court has rejected nullification, finding that under Article III of the Constitution, the power to declare federal laws unconstitutional has been delegated to the federal courts and that states do not have the authority to nullify federal law.
This is where the real fight will be, but first the challenge must be made.

BTW, Obama is the figurehead for the anti movement. Everything bad is his fault because he is the current President. When or if he leaves office everything bad will be the fault of the next President. That is the way it seems to work in this nation.

Thank you for agreeing with me.
Until the USSC rules differently, these state firearm freedom laws carry no weight.

What challenge?
The US Supreme Court has been there, done that.(and did so loooong ago)

Tom, Perhaps I misunderstand, but it seems to me that you are good with the federal government's continual power grab. If so, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I personally feel the federal government over reaches it authority way too often and that it should be watched diligently. This is why I feel federal enforcement of constitutionally questionable laws should always be challenged. End of discussion for me. Thank you.

Make sure to contact these boobs and tell them to stick there gun grabbing laws. here is one SB 18 awb. I called the senators that sponsored this bill and told them that we all don't want there inner city politics in the rest of the state. One told me that guns already owned are grandfathered in and not affected only future sales banned. Thats not what I see anyway. Oh boy they must think we are all as stupid as those inner city flunkies they represent.

Here is the link

Correct, you DO misunderstand.
The point I am making is that these state firearm freedom laws are MEANINGLESS. They are simply political pandering with no value other than symbolic chest beating.

Would you be as excited if you state legislature passed a law saying "we absolutely refuse to enforce federal immigration law".......Before you answer realize that states DON"T enforce federal immigration laws.......the FEDS do.

The "power grab" BTW occured DECADES ago, this is nothing new.

Don't like a FEDERAL law.....you change it via FEDERAL court or Congressional action. Getting excited by a state passing a hot air balloon is a waste of time.

@dogtown tom

I respect your opinion and understand your view point but i would just like to add something to the debate. It's a fact that a movement/stand can gain momentum and support when states stand up for the will(rights) of its people which can and will influence the debate. I believe if more states took a stand to the federal governments over reach of power then the people in Washington would be changed for the better.

This reason alone is while I would support what what you regard as "meaningless". Legally you may be right but that is something that I believe will have to play out in the courts.

If states have the "right" to ban pretty much any semi-automatic gun then why would they not have the right to pass laws that would refute such a ban. I don't claim to be a legal expert by any means but to me it's something that should be pursued along with many other efforts

I just don't think it's right to dismiss a states ability(not matter what the issue is) to at least try to have some sort of sovereignty with in these United States.

I can't agree at all with that.

Laws passed on the state level show our elected ones in DC how the voters really feel.
Sen. Sherrod Brown is going to vote for more federal gun control.
Sen. Robert “Rob” Portman has said he's open to the gun control issue.

All the letters in the world aren't going to change Brown's stance.

Letters may sway Portman - but - one of those, as you call them, MEANINGLESS laws would send a clear message that we mean business & he better not get too comfortable in his DC office.

Not a Useless Law

That Ohio law, if passed, would not be useless chest-beating.

Currently in Ohio, during a divorce, if one side wants to make-up a story about abuse from her/his spouse, the local Domestic Relations Court can and routinely DOES order the Sheriff to (temporarily) impound the accusee's deadly weapons (guns, bows, swords, etc) until the divorce is final. The accusee need not to *ever* have even been suspected of a crime. This is a clear 2A violation, but the liberal courts and prosecutors allow it to happen. SB36 would prevent this unless written in such a way as to allow the unConstitutional seizure.
