State Supreme Court to hear preemption case this week!

The Ohio Supreme Court will hear oral arguments for an important gun rights case, City of Cleveland v. State of Ohio, tomorrow, October 12, 2010.

The case came about after the Ohio General Assembly voted to override Governor Bob Taft's veto of HB347 - Ohio's "preemption" law - which codified R.C. 9.68, ensuring that firearms laws would be uniform throughout the state.

Cleveland is hopelessly addicted to the fallacy of gun control

The Ohio Supreme Court this week heard oral arguments in the case of City of Cleveland v. State of Ohio. The outcome will determine whether Ohio's cities can enact firearms restrictions above and beyond existing state law. If the State of Ohio prevails, gun laws will remain uniform throughout the state. If Cleveland prevails, municipalities will be free to create a patchwork of conflicting ordinances that could turn law-abiding gun owners into felons as they simply drive from one township to the next.

The most intriguing question in this case is why the City of Cleveland has insisted on advancing the nonsensical idea of contradictory gun laws.

Second Amendment advocacy today has reached its most vibrant crescendo since the American Revolution, and goofy gun laws are about the last thing Ohio — including Cleveland — needs to stem its exodus of college graduates or to attract new business. Why would Cleveland’s politicians fight to turn their city into an enclave known for capricious firearms restrictions?

There are many laws that IMHO should be uniform among all of the states and gun laws are one of them. The 2A is very specific - how many other Constitutional amendments say "shall not be infringed"? That's about as clear as you can get - yet...

And its all our fault - the people of the USA are the guardians of the Constitution and we've fallen down on the job for a long long time...
