Gov. Mike DeWine urges legislature again to pass gun control measures

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Following a week where 21 people across Ohio died by gun violence – including a police officer in Cleveland, Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, renewed calls for the state legislature to pass a slate of gun control measures.

After the mass shooting in 2019 in Dayton, DeWine pushed the General Assembly to pass several measures that would expand background checks and increase penalties on unlawful gun possession. Thus far, the Republican-controlled legislature has balked at taking up any of his proposals.

(snip)

DeWine’s bills include creating voluntary background checks for sales at gun shows, expanding “pink slip” laws to prevent people with drug or alcohol problems or psychiatric disorders and increase penalties for illegally selling a gun.
