Please allow me a little leeway in posting about this, since the ordinance involves long guns, although not in terms of carrying them. Basically, Ohio has statewide preemption of local gun laws, including those involving ammunition, parts, etc. I think Cincinnati is trying to do an end around by saying a bump stock is an "accessory", as opposed to a "part".

Also, I read what they proposed a week or so, but not what they passed this afternoon. But there's really no way it CAN'T be a violation of Ohio Revised Code 9.68, statewide preemption.

Just wanted to get the discussion started here.

Once an accessory is affixed to the firearm it becomes a component, a part of the whole.

Wow, it has been a long time since I saw that show! Had forgotten all about it.

Since B.S. bans are all about pretending one thing can be another, and thus solve an unrelated third problem, here's my recommended soundtrack for all bureaucrats and legislators who are composing and promoting them:

A bit of thread drift here. Back on target please.
