The latest sweeping changes to Ohio gun laws, including a “stand your ground” provision, have generated fierce debate, and the gun bill containing them is set for action in the Ohio House this week.
House Bill 203 contains a number of components, including efforts to ensure that cities can’t avoid paying attorneys fees when their gun laws are challenged, and ensuring that people don’t get concealed-carry licenses in Ohio who don’t even qualify for purchasing a gun.

The best argument against such people is to point out where such law works well in other states, then ask them if they think the people in their state are inferior, less capable, or less intelligent than the people in other states?
Please tell us why we shouldn’t have gun liberty because we are inferior.
