Ohio Lawmakers Rush To Introduce Gun Legislation


CINCINNATI - A newspaper analysis finds an increase in the number of gun-related bills brought forth by the Ohio Legislature.

The report by the Cincinnati Enquirer says lawmakers have introduced 19 firearm-related bills since taking office in January, 11 of them expanding gun owners' rights.

The paper says in a story Thursday that that's five more than the 14 firearm-related bills introduced in 2011 and 2012.

The paper says Rep. John Becker, a freshman Republican from Clermont County, has sponsored the most, with four bills, including one that removes semi-automatic weapons that can fire more than 31 rounds without reloading from the Ohio definition of automatic weapons.
