❌ SB75
Increase penalty for failure to report a lost or stolen firearm
Current Status: In Senate Committee (Judiciary)
Summary
This bill amends section 2923.20 of the Revised Code to increase the penalty for failing to report a lost or stolen firearm. It establishes penalties for various violations related to the transfer and possession of firearms and dangerous ordnance, with specific exceptions for law enforcement officers acting within their duties.
Rationale
The bill increases government control over firearm ownership by imposing penalties for failure to report lost or stolen firearms, which conflicts with the LP and LPO principles advocating for minimal government interference in individual rights and the right to bear arms without restrictions.
Risks and Concerns
- Increases government regulation of firearm ownership
- Potential for overreach in enforcement
- May lead to criminalization of non-violent behavior
