A recent Suffolk University/USA Today poll shows 92% of Ohioans want mandatory background checks for firearm purchases — including 99% Democrats and 88% Republicans.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.But instead, the Republican-controlled Statehouse has loosened gun laws.
Firearms accounted for nearly a fifth of childhood deaths and nearly 3,600 children died in gun-related incidents in 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wonder database. The Suffolk University/USA Today poll surveyed 500 registered Ohio voters earlier this month over the phone. Their margin of error is +/- 4.4 percentage points.Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed a bill into law last year that got rid of all training, background check and permitting requirements to carry a concealed weapon.
Twenty-two Ohio school districts and one Christian school have staff members who are either authorized or in the training process to carry weapons on school grounds as of March 31. “Even after the calls to do something after a mass shooting — killing our neighbors in Dayton — they’ve turned a blind eye to reality, fact and reason, and passed the most dangerous and reckless gun laws in the history of the state,” Ginther said.“Four years after they asked us to do something, and yet the question remains — What have we done?” he asked.
