City Attorney files new lawsuit against state in battle over local gun laws
The Columbus City Attorney's office filed a new lawsuit Thursday against the state of Ohio in a renewed attempt to put in place and enforce local gun safety laws.
"State officials continue to intentionally make it harder for police to do their job and for the City to take the actions we know will promote responsible gun ownership and reduce gun violence in our neighborhoods," Klein said. "In one lawsuit, state officials have used arguments that go so far as to say that a City ordinance keeping firearms out of the hands of minors is unconstitutional because Ohio allowed for child soldiers during the Civil War," Klein's office said., also challenges a 2022 state law that bars local authorities from declaring emergencies that would require the temporary closure of businesses in a given area for health or safety concerns, including gun stores.
