Ohio lawmakers start lame duck by easing access to sawed-off shotguns

COLUMBUS — Ohioans would no longer be required to register sawed-off shotguns, short-barreled rifles, and firearm suppressors under legislation approved by the Ohio General Assembly Tuesday. The Ohio House passed Senate Bill 214 by a vote of 68-27, and the Ohio Senate concurred with House amendments 21-9. The bill removes suppressors and sawed-off firearms from the “dangerous ordnance” classification under state law. State Sen. Kyle Koehler (R., Springfield), the sponsor of S.B. 214, said people buying these items would still be required to pass a federal background check. “This bill simply aligns federal regulations with state law,” Mr. Koehler said, noting they are not anything more than a standard firearm. “It is not a dangerous ordnance. It’s not a missile, it’s not a torpedo, it’s not nitroglycerine,” he said. “It is a gun, and it should go through the same process that we use today to buy a firearm.” State Rep. Kellie Deeter (R., Norwalk) said the legislation is long overdue. “For many of my constituents, these are not abstract legal classifications,” she said. “There are practical implications for how they exercise their Second Amendment rights.” For example, Ms. Deeter said suppressors are often used as a gun-safety feature. “They

My baby girl came into world in a blue wave. Dems must not let it become a blue blip | Opinion

Mark Gavin Sr. is a political strategist and founder of On The Mark Advocacy & Campaigns in Columbus. Cecelia “CeCe” Gavin was pulled into this world on the morning of Nov. 4, and just like that, I was a dad for the second time. By the time my wife, Hope, and I pulled into the yellow lot at Riverside Methodist just before 5:30 a.m., Ohioans had already spoken. When I went to bed just a few hours earlier, Amy Acton was the first woman ever elected governor of Ohio. Sherrod Brown, two years after a loss to Bernie Moreno that many of us thought ended his career, had won the right to finish JD Vance’s Senate term . Democrats had broken the Republican supermajority in the Ohio House, and voters had snatched both chambers of Congress from Republicans. Nan Whaley: I was the first woman nominated Ohio governor. My defeat didn't mean what I feared My son, Mark Jr., was born in 2010, the year Democrats lost almost everything to the Tea Party. He has never lived in an Ohio where Democrats held power. Every state policy that has touched his life was decided by Republicans who put business and
