Reps. Seth Morgan, R-Huber Heights, and Jarrod Martin, R-Beavercreek, have introduced legislation that would allow for firearms made and sold within Ohio to be exempt from federal firearms regulations.

Morgan said on Friday, Oct. 23, that House Bill 315, is mainly a preemptive effort to protect the state against any federal regulations pushed by President Barack Obama's admininistration.

He added, however, that a debate over the issue of state control should have been held earlier.

"I"m sure there are some (federal) laws that I'd like to see changed," said Morgan.

Toby Hoover, executive director of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, said the legislation is not needed. Gun advocates seem obsessed with the notion that "people are going to take things away from them," she said.

"If you're going to have firearms and ammunition, ....you ought to be held accountable," said Hoover.

The reason one has to be held accountable by the State is because bleeding heart liberals are admitting it is too difficult to give responsibility and accountability to the Citizen. These are the same people that are responsible for the existing American multicultural society mentality. What happened to the people making up the society, called America, being good, as Voltaire recognized. America no longer has an identifiable culture since it is now called multi-cultural.
