The Ohio Supreme Court is refusing to hear Cleveland’s appeal of a lower court ruling rejecting the city’s efforts at creating a gun offender registry. Cleveland.com reports (http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2018/01/ohio_supreme_court_rules_again_1.html) the court’s refusal on Wednesday to hear the appeal means most of the measures passed by the City Council in 2015 to address gun violence remain invalid. The registry would have required residents charged with gun offenses to register within five days of being convicted or released from prison.

Why not? We require sex offenders to register.

We should require leftist loons to register. Liberalism is after all, a recognized mental disorder.

I actually agree with the registry for those convicted of gun offenses. Not a bad idea.

Maybe we should require those of below average IQ to register. You could be first.

The right to gun ownership is a right. Sex offenses aren't. Hard to figure this one out? Creepy.

I think the rationale is that is someone commits a crime using a gun, it's fair to say they probably will again. I would think that crime (and using a gun during it) is a fair tradeoff to have them register.

In reality, I would even go so far as to say they should be restricted from owning one, but that determination would be leveled based on the severity of the crime. That part is a little murky and likely to be abused/misinterpreted.

Any kind of registry is a bad idea. They are wrong, pure and simple.

It doesn't matter whether it is a registry of gun offenders, sex offenders, adulterers, or jaywalkers.

Me too. I am all for the 2nd Amendment, but if you misuse a gun for criminal purposes your 2nd Amendment rights should be stripped from you.

They are, but that is a separate issue from a national or state registry.

How else would his state ensure he didn't buy a gun from a legal seller? The person in question already demonstrated that they were a criminal, so we can't just rely on him to comply with the prohibition of his purchasing another gun.

He still can go get one on the black market.

The same way it is done now. The dealer runs a NICS check on him and the FBI says yes or no.

What we are talking about here is a public registry which can be accessed by anyone.

That makes sense.
