Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson has introduced legislation that would create a city gun offender registry as part of a sweeping city gun law overhaul he announced last month.
The proposal would require gun offenders to register with the city's safety department within five days of either being released from prison, or within five days of moving to Cleveland.
The offender would have to re-register every four years.
The gun registry legislation would replace a city assault weapons ban. The Ohio Supreme Court in 2010 affirmed state lawmakers' right to pass a uniform statewide gun law that blocked Cleveland and other cities from passing tougher laws such as assault weapons bans and handgun registration requirements.
Jackson announced plans for the gun legislation last month. Anti-gun and pro-gun protestors gathered in Cleveland's Public Square on Sunday in response.
