Backers voice support for bill keeping Ohio cops from enforcing federal gun laws
A new bill in the Ohio House would strike out all references to federal firearm policy from state law in an attempt to render state and local law enforcement in Ohio no longer responsible for enforcing federal gun laws.
This furthers a trend in recent years where, for instance, lack of movement on federal immigration legislation has prompted conservative states to adopt laws for more stringent enforcement. Meanwhile, more liberal jurisdictions have declared themselves immigration “sanctuary cities” and refuse to assist federal authorities.
On Tuesday at the Ohio Statehouse, backers of what sponsors are calling the Second Amendment Preservation Act spoke in an Ohio House committee. One of them is a former lawmaker from Missouri who got a similar bill passed there in 2021.
