Everytown: Ohio law could reflect ATF policy on 'crime guns'

(The Center Square) – Ohio firearms owners could have the same guidelines as the federal government when it comes to buying and possessing short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and firearms suppressors. Senate Bill 214 removes firearm suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns from Ohio’s definition of dangerous ordnance. Supporters said it brings Ohio state law in alignment with federal law. Last month, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ended enforcement of certain registration and approval requirements for firearms suppressors and short-barreled firearms. The ATF’s policy followed an August ruling by a federal judge in Texas concerning registration of the items when there is no more tax. The Justice Department decided not to appeal. The taxes on the short barreled firearms and suppressors were removed last year in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act Congress passed and President Donald Trump signed. Monisha Henley, SVP for government affairs at Everytown, criticized the move. “So the Trump administration spent a lot of time doing what we refer to as ATF rollbacks, where they've really taken the priority of that agency and said ‘we're not gonna focus on guns anymore, and we're gonna let these rogue gun dealers sell crime guns,’” Henley told

One person may have spread measles at a half-dozen sites in Ohio

One person infected with measles may have spread the highly contagious disease over a period of about a week at more than a half-dozen sites in Northeast Ohio. Geauga Public Health is reporting a confirmed case of measles with exposures at several public locations in Geauga and Lake counties during the time period the individual was able to spread the virus. Statewide, the Ohio Department of Health is reporting 310 cases in 25 counties so far this year, according to its most recent summary of infectious diseases dashboard update on Nov. 5. That number is nearly six times (588.9%) more than the 45 cases reported in all of 2025. The vast majority of cases in Ohio are among unvaccinated individuals, per ODH. “It’s unfortunate that these outbreaks have become more common in Ohio over the past few years, because this disease is preventable,” Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, ODH director, said a July 30 statement. “This serves to emphasize the importance of being fully vaccinated. I strongly encourage you to protect yourselves and your children by getting vaccinated.” Here's where measles may have spread in Geauga and Lake counties.
