Gun-owning city lawmaker wants targeted gun ban in Cincinnati

A Cincinnati council member who says he owns semi-automatic weapons wants the city to ban certain offenders from having guns and to prohibit bump stocks all together. "Every legal gun owner such as myself understands that we want our rights protected, but when we have nut jobs running around here with guns illegally, it makes it difficult for us and it's time for us to change the conversation," Jeff Pastor said. On Feb. 20, Pastor voted against a council resolution asking state lawmakers to ban semi-automatic weapons in Ohio, saying: “This body should not be writing resolutions to ban semi-automatic weapons. That is illegal. That is unconstitutional.”
