    Buying a gun? Ohioans can now search state database of stolen firearms

    Anna Staver
    The Columbus Dispatch

    People who buy and sell firearms in Ohio can now search through a statewide database to see whether the gun for sale was stolen. 

    The Ohio Stolen Guns Database contains the serial numbers of stolen guns "as reported to the Law Enforcement Automated Data System (LEADS) by law enforcement agencies throughout the state and authorized for release to the public."

    It's the brainchild of Ohio Attorney General David Yost and a group of firearms dealers who wanted an easier way to determine whether a gun was stolen. 

    “Once you log on and put the serial number in and once the database exists you’ll be able to just get an answer back – hot or not," Yost told NBC 4 in January

    Thousands of guns are reported stolen or missing every year in Ohio, and sometimes they're taken to dealers like Eric Delbert, a co-owner of LEPD Firearms and Range in Columbus, who said he's wanted this database since he started his business eight years ago.

    "It is only one step to help impact violence in our community," Delbert said. "But it is certainly a small victory in help take away avenues for thieves and criminals to advance their illegal activities of selling stolen firearms to unsuspecting good citizens."

  • Because 'Murica doesn't have enough and Clinton, Obama and Hillary took most of them away and President Biden is going to be walking up your driveway and taking the rest of them. "Responsible" gun owners are rarely held to account.

    Firearm sales soared in January after a mob-led assault on the U.S. Capitol and the arrival of a new administration that favors tighter gun restrictions.

    More than 2 million firearms were bought last month, according to The Washington Post’s analysis of federal gun background-check data. That is an 80 percent year-over-year spike and the third-highest one-month total on record.

    Background checks, and sales of firearms and ammunition, have been increasing pace for months. The surge is in line with the record pace set in 2020: Nearly 23 million firearms were bought, representing a 64 percent jump year over year. Sales estimates are based on methodology surveying handgun, long gun, and multiple-gun background checks leading to purchases.

    A 27-year-old Florida resident told The Post on Wednesday that he recently went to Academy, a sporting-goods retailer, in search of 9-millimeter ammunition. The sales clerk just laughed, telling him he was out of bullets and had only six guns in his inventory.

    “With the lockdown and a president who is saying things like ‘gun reform,’ there’s a fear within the gun community and people that are responsible gun owners that they’re going to be made into felons just by nature of law,” said Sam, who asked that his last name be withheld, because he did not want his employer to know his gun views.

    Estimated firearm purchases climbed to an unprecedented 2.1 million in March, early in the coronavirus pandemic when cities and states issued stay-at-home orders to contain the spread of the deadly disease. Panic-buying was common, with Americans hoarding toilet paper, diapers and cleaning supplies amid the widespread uncertainty.

    The killing of George Floyd set off a summer of racial-justice protests and prompted retailers in some cities to board up windows. Firearms sales went even higher, to 2.8 million in June and 2.5 million in July. Walmart removed gun and ammunition displays from thousands of its U.S. stores.

    Steven Dulan, who teaches firearms law at Western Michigan University’s Thomas M. Cooley Law School and is on the board of the Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners, said he has heard of new gun owners buying firearms as an investment, like a precious metal.

    Far more common, he said, are the reports from first-time buyers who say they no longer trust police departments to protect them, especially after some agencies were overwhelmed by protesters during the summer.

    “The folks that said they would never become a gun owner were trusting the police to protect them, and that delusion has been dispelled,” he said.

    In the fall, misinformation swelled amid one of the most divisive presidential campaigns in U.S. history. President Donald Trump refused to accept his loss in the Nov. 3 contest and spent weeks pressing baseless claims of voter fraud. And then the year’s political havoc spilled over into 2021.

    On Jan. 6, a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to stop the counting of electoral-college votes finalizing Joe Biden’s victory. The attack resulted in the deaths of a Capitol Police officer and four rioters, and injuries to about 140 police officers, authorities have said.

    “People saw all of this happening at the same time, and they became very concerned for their safety,” said Mark Oliva, public-affairs director for the National Shooting Sports Foundation. “Everybody in America is buying these guns. I’m a 47-year-old White guy living in the suburbs of D.C. It’s not just people like me.”

    Michigan and New Jersey recorded the biggest percentage change in firearm purchases in January compared with the previous year, at more than triple the national rate.

    It’s common for gun sales to jump when a Democrat takes over the White House. In January 2009, when Barack Obama was inaugurated for his first term, the total number of firearm background checks registered through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) reached 1.2 million. That was a record at the time and a nearly 29 percent jump from January 2008.

    In January 2017, when Trump was inaugurated, more than 2 million background checks were recorded, a 20 percent drop from 2016.

    Biden pledged during his campaign to reinstate a ban on the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. He also proposed a buyback program for assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that would require owners to sell them to the federal government or register them under the National Firearms Act.

    In three individual weeks in January, there was a record number of background checks, climbing into the top five spots since the FBI began tracking in 1998.

    Firearm stocks spiked in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 riot and as election deniers swarmed statehouses across the country, extending a trend line seen in November and December amid the particularly polarizing political climate.

    There is no national registry that records who owns guns and when they purchase them. But according to a survey conducted by the National Shooting Sports Foundation last summer, roughly 40 percent — or 8.4 million — of the guns purchased in 2020 were by first-time buyers. It also found that 40 percent of the purchasers were women, Oliva said, and that the largest demographic group of buyers was Black Americans.

    And though hunting has become more popular as more Americans stay home and engage in socially distant activities, most firearms sold last year were small handguns. Buyers typically say they want such firearms for self-defense or personal safety, Oliva said.

    I am very thankful that Illinois doesn't allow open carry of firearms. The last thing we need is a bunch of wanna be GI Joes packing heat every time they go to Walmart or Pizza Hut. Drive across the Wabash river, and all bets are off. We do allow concealed carry, but at least you have to have been through some training, an FOID card and have had the proper background checks performed.

    House passes gun legislation that would expand background checks https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/11/politics/background-checks-gun-bills-house-vote/index.html
    Watching my local news the other night, Sinclair Broadcasting bought and owned, they have their "National Correspondent" segment, usually hosted by Cheryl Attkinson, but this episode was hosted by a Black woman. It was about the opposition to the proposed gun reform legislation and it was an interview with a guy who runs a gun "training" ground, complete with images of guys rapidly shooting at targets after kicking in fence gates, reloading, swiveling toward other perceived threats, emptying their clip, excuse me, magazine, reloading and emptying another magazine toward targets on the opposite side. Fucking Rambo, eh? The segment mentioned that they want to close the "Charleston" loophole, which is how Dylan Roof was able to obtain his firearms and expand the waiting period for the background check to be conducted from 3 days to 10. The segment ended with the gun "training" guy saying that when these measures don't work, and there's another mass shooting, the next step will be to seize everyone's guns. And there you have it, the other side's position on gun control.

    They want to make it all 50 states?  Make guns transferable to all 50 states.

    Until they get every state on board with the same thing I am not for this.

    I don't like the idea of everything being tracked either.  Not a fan.

    Especially from this guy.

    8:27 p.m.

    Sheriff spokesperson who said suspect had ‘bad day’ posted racist shirt blaming China for covid-19
    The Georgia sheriff’s spokesman who said a man accused of killing eight people, including six women of Asian descent, had “a bad day” came under fire on Wednesday after reports of an anti-Asian T-shirt design posted on his Facebook page.

    At a news conference, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Jay Baker said that the alleged killer, Robert Aaron Long, told investigators he was not motivated by racism but rather his “sex addiction.”
    “Yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did,” Baker said, comments that drew criticism online from people who said his remarks downplayed the fatal shootings.

    After the news conference, Internet sleuths and journalists discovered Baker’s post, fueling discourse about bias in law enforcement. Concern about racism within police ranks has grown with an uptick in videos showing police brutality against Black Americans and racial justice protesters over the summer.

    In March and April, Baker posted photos of a graphic shirt that blamed China for the coronavirus pandemic, an accusation that advocacy groups say has incited a surge in violence and prejudice against Asian Americans.

    “Covid 19,” the shirt reads in a font resembling the logo of the Corona beer, “IMPORTED VIRUS FROM CHY-NA.”

    It's going to be fun watching people try to suggest that the shooter who targeted Asian spas wasn't targeting Asians.

    I will say this, do you know of any other ethnic group that constantly gets shut down for having "sex shops"?  here in NY it is always Asian spas.  One goes down and 1 goes up.  Can't remember the last time I ever saw a "Turkish spa"?

    Throwing that in to the conversation ring only because I can see how it might not be racially motivated, but looking at it the optics aren't good.

    And well, domestic abusers should have access to firearms, right? Its the "responsible" thing to do because someone who hits their partner, certainly wouldn't shoot them, right? From NYT:

    • The House voted to renew the Violence Against Women Act. Senate Republicans object to new provisions that would make it harder for domestic abusers to buy guns.

    I would agree with this taken into context just the way it is.  There must be more red tape attached to it though?

    Once something gets written into law it is really hard to undo it and I'm pretty sure that is what the big picture is about.  Shitty answer and not what you want to hear, I will look further into it.
