Ohio Joined the Proposed AWB Ranks - SB18

[ThawMyTongue]

General thought is this has a snowball's chance, but here it is:

http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=130_SB_18

Registration, banning "assault weapons", all the normal stuff... Except that any semi-auto firearm capable of holding more than 10 rounds is an AW, fixed or removable mag and no distinction between pistol, rifle, shotgun.

There's a poll on this site. Let's show Ohio some love:

(D) As used in this section, "assault weapon" means an automatic firearm that has not been rendered permanently inoperable, a semi-automatic firearm capable of accepting a detachable magazine with the capacity to accept ten or more cartridges, and a semi-automatic firearm with a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept ten or more cartridges.

Emphasis added. So every Glock would be an AW, because they could potentially accept >10 round magazines, even if you don't own or possess a >10 rounder? Ditto every Ruger 10/22? Ditto every modern semi-auto firearm whose manufacturer makes a >10 rounder? Is that what I'm reading?

Yup, they have way, way over-reached.

Sec. 109.52. The bureau of criminal identification and
investigation may operate and maintain a criminal analysis
laboratory and mobile units thereof, create a staff of
investigators and technicians skilled in the solution and control
of crimes and criminal activity, keep statistics and other
necessary data, maintain a firearm and ammunition transactions
database, assist in the prevention of crime, and engage in such
other activities as will aid law enforcement officers in solving
crimes and controlling criminal activity.

Bolded is also mind-boggling!

It's not >10. It's 9

 

[ThawMyTongue]

Nice catch! Missed that... that cuts out a huge chunk of firearms!

 

[notme0255]

And my old tube-fed 22??

 

[ThawMyTongue]

And my old tube-fed 22??

Only semis affected, lever and pump exempt... for now.

 

[Tyeraxus]

It's not >10. It's 9

Nice catch. Yep, there goes just about every hunting semi-auto; they pretty much all have factory 10 rounders available.

My Browning .22 semi would be an assault weapon I could probably assault a colony of squirrels or tin cans with it.

Sweet baby jeebus our society really is turning into Idiocracy, with politicians leading the way. In their defense, Long Live President Camacho!

You must have been eaves dropping at my office! I recently watched that movie and it was no longer funny, but rather sad and telling.

It's not a movie. It's a documentry sent from the future.

This would be a total ban for semi-autos with detachable magazines. Note the operable phrase: "a firearm capable of accepting". Pretty much all semi-autos with detachable magazines are capable of accepting 10+ round magazines, whether or not such magazines have ever been manufactured for it.

AND fixed. There go SKS and Garand.

 

[ColonelHurtz]

What do you think Obongo's meeting in Annapolis was all about?

In addition to running interference with our rally, he instructed his Democratic goons to go back to their districts in other states and imediately draft an AWB bill. Even in states where there is no traction like MO and OH those bills hit the house floor and the press reports them. Those legislators can say that they "did something" to their constituents and it provides the appearance that the nation is unified for civilian disarmament. It's basically a swarm attack.

92% vote no

 

[EvilOlive]

You almost have to wonder if they didn't over reach on purpose. They can say "hey we tried" yet they know it had no chance of passing.

“Gun control is a complex subject, and I appreciate and understand its cultural intricacies,” Senator Smith continued.

She doesn't understand squat!

 

[Af_catfish]

Et tu, Ohio?
We do have some odd laws. We can't possess a magazine over 30 rounds. And until recently having a loaded magazine in the car with you constituted having a loaded weapon. I could have my AR field stripped and spread about the car, but the loaded mag makes it a loaded weapon. They passed a law to fix that one though. I don't see this passing, but you never know.

Rational thought is beyond them. They do know that
Awb the first did not work, so, lucky for us, they did exactly as we
Had thought they would and go after the rest.

Liberals, as a bred, are particularly susceptible to group think and 'be there or be square' mentality. This is also why they, curiously, believe that their opposition are similarly afflicted.

It remains a most tragic of ironies that those who most claim to support the individual are the most devoid of individuality.
Take heart in this. Man for man woman for woman they are intellectually overmatched. Worse they underestimate the opposition.

While it is temping to think that this kind of overeach must be part of some sinister plot, this line of reasoning is based on our MO not theirs. In guarding against underestimating our opposition we ascribe to them the same methodological forethought and move/counter move thinking endemic to *our* breed.

Hard as it is to believe, they may really think that this is permissible under the 2a. Hell they may really think they are only one vote away from restoring the collective rights theory.

Do not underestimate the danger, but they no longer hide from words like confiscation and protect the hunters so stealth is either beyond them or they think it unnessary.

They almost got away with it. Had this latest BS started pre Heller or post the new living constitution living court it might have worked.

And it still might.


Our task is clear, and it is still formidable.
We must win.To win we must reeducate the entire population of the US. ( or at least half of it)

Freedom is my Birthright.
I shall not yield it.
I will make my fellow citizens claim their birthright of freedom.
This I swear.

Not only is it an assault weapon, it's a concealable assault weapon. Since you can take it down, it fits almost anywhere! I love mine! Bring on the squirrels!
