Urge Legislators to Support Common-Sense Safety Reforms
In November 2017, Governor Kasich convened a bipartisan group of state leaders to make recommendations to address gun violence in Ohio. The recommendations had to be unanimous and preserve Second Amendment rights. On April 12 six proposals were introduced as House Bill 585 (Henne) and as Senate Bill 288 (Eklund and Kunze).
