HB325 prohibits state and local governments from infringing our right to bear arms and the 2nd amendment of the U.S. Constitution during declared emergencies.
The Ohio State House of Representatives passed HB325 on February 16, 2022 by a vote of 64 to 35. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed in any situation.
