Columbus, OH to Have AWB?

I guess the City of Columbus, Ohio wants to enact its own "assault weapons" ban. They've tried before and failed. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) is firing back. From Crosswalk.com:

"This proposed ban is based on a model drafted by the anti-gun Legal Community Against Violence, an organization whose dubious efforts haven't prevented a single violent crime anywhere," added Waldron.

"All they want to do is deprive law-abiding citizens of legally-owned firearms, and that's hardly the solution to violent crimes committed by criminals who habitually disobey every law on the books. Evidently, that's something that seems to have escaped the limited grasp of the LCAV, and the authors of the proposed Columbus measure," he said.

[...]

"The proponents of this ordinance," said Waldron, "will argue that it is written to distinguish 'bad guns' from 'legitimate sporting weapons.' The Ohio Constitution does not contain language protecting a right to bear sporting firearms, and there is nothing in that document about hunting or sport shooting, anyway.

"The state constitution clearly says that the people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security," said Waldron.
