Ohio voters may soon see background checks on their ballots. Ohioans for Gun Safety, a grassroots organization that advocates for expanding background checks on gun sales, announced Monday that it is proposing a ballot measure that would effectively require background checks for all gun sales done online and at gun shows. The measure, entitled “An Act to Close Loopholes in Background Checks on Gun Sales,” would be an initiated statute, meaning a change to the Ohio Revised Code made via a vote of the people of Ohio. Ohioans for Gun Safety is aiming to have the issue on the ballot by 2020. |

In a move to burnish his already well-known anti-firearms credentials, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has unveiled a list of gun control measures he will press the commonwealth’s legislature to adopt in a special session as early as late June. Predictably, his proposals miss the mark widely. While Northam’s announcement came within days of the May 31st shooting rampage in Virginia Beach by a former municipal worker, the proposed measures reflect steps that already could have been taken by government officials, or consist of proposals that would not have prevented the murderer’s actions. Unsurprisingly of course, facts and substance took a back seat to political and emotional triggers. |

A group pushing to ban “assault weapons” in Florida has hit a significant milestone in its effort to place a proposed constitutional amendment on the 2020 ballot. Ban ‘Assault Weapons’ Now!, a bipartisan organization led in part by survivors of mass shootings in Orlando and Parkland, announced Monday that it has obtained 103,000 signed petitions. The total should be enough to trigger a Florida Supreme Court review of its proposed ballot question, a mandatory step in the process. |
