Columbus Ohio Passes Assault Weapons Ban

This is their third attempt. Courts slapped down the first two on grounds of the city council writes poorly-worded laws and has no clue whatsoever about guns. Alas, they didn't slap them down on the much simpler grounds of being unconstitutional.
Points:
1. I'm really certain that someone who is about to kill someone is going to pause, look at his weapon, and realize "Dangit. This gun has two evil features. I could get a first degree misdemeanor with no mandatory jail time on top of my two or three felonies. Holy crap, that was close. Let me put this back."
2. "It's about limiting the availability of those guns." Really? Is it now? Howso? "Well, gunshops in the city can't sell them." Really? Name me one gunshop inside the city limits. Think hard. Zanes Gun Rack? Closed. Vances? Clinton Township. Aumiller? Westerville. That's right, councilman, thanks to your earlier inane purchase permit law, pretty near every gunshop has either closed or moved the the townships or suburbs, where your silly little law does not apply. And lookit, gun crime didn't exactly decrease, now did it?
Maybe if they actually started putting money into corrections and the courts they could actually...you know...convict people, and put them away. but that costs money. This? This sounds like you're doing something, and it's pretty-near free.

heres one of my beefs with this..in order to legally keep them, you have to go register them...they need to be "papered" so they can be what...CONFISCATED, at a later date, when more city ordinances are passed that makes them illegal period.
"show me your papers..your papers please!"

I was thinking more of Ohio cities, like Cleveland, Dayton, Cinci, Akron and of course Toledo. These cities are always looking for new ways to restrict citizens and tax them to death.
we all know how successful PRCa and PRNYC are don't we?

Wow. I'm almost glad I don't live in Columbus anymore. I wonder if I should call my old pistol coach at the university and let him know that OSU is now the proud owner of dozens of "assault weapon" competition pistols?

This is what I received from the Fifty Caliber Institute.
The Fifty Caliber Institute (FCI) would like to join the CCRKBA in condemning the actions of the City Council of the city of Columbus, OH yesterday, when they banned an entire array of semiautomatic firearms. This ban would also include the 50 BMG.
The purported purpose was to cut down on crime statistics, but the real purpose was nothing more than the promotion of an antigun agenda covered by a smoke screen.
This is one of the classic political moves this year by what is obviously one of the most anti-gun political organizations in America. Kind of reminiscent of Los Angeles and Sacramento, don't you think?
Don't confuse me with facts, "I've got my marching orders". Just because there were hundreds of concerned citizens protesting the fact that the actions of the city council would have no impact on crime in Columbus if the law passed, we'll do it anyway. And they did!
The people of Columbus, OH are being mistreated by their governing body and they need to take the necessary action to correct that situation. The Executive Director of CCRKBA says the actions of this city council are a step backwards. It is our opinion the people of Columbus have been taken to the cleaners. We join the thousands of law abiding citizens of Columbus who are outraged by the actions of the Columbus city council.
