A major revamp of Cleveland’s gun laws is one step closer to reality, including new changes prompted by the weekend shooting death of 1-year-old Braylon Robinson by a 3-year-old relative. City Council’s Public Safety Committee approved the new gun ordinance during a meeting Wednesday.
Following Robinson’s death at the hands of another toddler who got his hands on a gun, Councilman Kevin Kelley proposed the inclusion of a mandatory 180 day jail sentence and $1,000 fine for anyone convicted of improperly allowing kids access to guns. The ordinance includes exceptions for hunting, sporting and educational purposes. No charges have yet been filed in Robinson’s death. |

| If Ohio doesn't have a preemption law, it needs one. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
