Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine calls for changes in the wake of deadly Dayton shooting.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/ohio-governor-mike-dewine-calls-wake-deadly-dayton/story?id=64785615
The Republican governor, who was sworn into office earlier this year, announced Tuesday morning that he would be taking a number of actions in the wake of the mass shooting early Sunday in Dayton, where nine people were killed and dozens of others were injured.
DeWine made his first comments about the shooting in Dayton on Sunday just hours after the attack, but he was shouted down by attendees who called on him to "do something!"

He said that he will ask the state legislature to pass a law allowing safety protection orders, which would allow family members or loved ones to prompt the issuance of orders that would take guns away from those who pose a danger and have access to guns.

The second action that DeWine highlighted was to allow more access to state psychiatric hospitals within the state.

But Mike's history shows he is a real "gun humper." People in Ohio can cancel carry w/out a permit
and one of the center points of his campaign was blocking background checks.
Ohio is closer than ever to allowing concealed weapons without a permit, supporters say

DeWine-Husted Campaign issues strong statement in response to calls for gun control
by Chad D. Baus
11:00AM FRIDAY, MARCH 02, 2018
On the same day Governor John Kasich (R) was announcing his support for new gun control, the DeWine-Husted for Ohio campaign released a statement opposing ANY reduction of the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, and opposing ANY bans.

They have ignored or tabled all the sensible gun control legislation that the Democrats have proposed. Too busy taking away womens healthcare rights, which was their first priority after DeWine was sworn in earlier this year. Now all of a sudden they care about the living humans already here? It took them long enough. And it sickens me that they will probably be crowing now about how they are addressing Ohios gun problem.
BLEAH.
