Ohio House passes bill to prohibit cities from stopping gun sales during riots

Republicans in the Ohio House passed a bill Thursday that will not allow local governments to close gun stores, stop processing background checks or confiscate firearms during riots or other states of emergency.

(snip)

"Senate Bill 185 will protect the rights of Ohioans to their firearms recognizing their natural right to protect themselves, recreate and feed their families under any declaration of emergency," Sen. Tim Schaffer, R-Lancaster, said. Also, state lawmakers already restrict what people can and can't do at demonstrations, Rep. Richard Brown, D-Canal Winchester, said. Ohio recently banned bricks at protests and other rallies.

"So, you can't bring a brick to a demonstration," Brown said. "But you can go buy a gun during a riot."

I suppose we can expect to see lots of nonsensical, cruel, or heinously immoral legislation coming down the pike for the next few years.
