Ohioans For Gun Safety began circulating a petition to put the measure on the ballot shortly after the recent Dayton shooting.
Ohio’s governor, Mike DeWine, told Fox News the state is crafting its new gun control legislation with the help of gun rights supporters in order to respect due process. But many of the state’s ideas, including this ballot measure, would create a path toward a gun registration system, according to real gun rights organizations.
