Protecting our residents, protecting our youth is worth the risk of a potential lawsuit,&#8221; said councilwoman Shayla D. Favor in an interview with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.10tv.com\/article\/news\/local\/columbus-city-council-passes-measure-outlawing-most-people-having-large-capacity-magazines\/530-b6db40c1-5b55-4fec-b570-862215adb30f\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"columbus-city-council-passes-gun-control-in-direct-violation-of-state-law\" title=\"Columbus City Council Passes Gun Control In Direct Violation of State Law\">10 WBNS<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/trudeaus-real-agenda-ban-legal-firearm-ownership-altogether\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"columbus-city-council-passes-gun-control-in-direct-violation-of-state-law\" title=\"Columbus City Council Passes Gun Control In Direct Violation of State Law\">Trudeau\u2019s Real Agenda: Ban Legal Firearm Ownership Altogether<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We want to make sure we\u2019re doing everything we can to keep residents safe,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it&#8217;s worth the risk of a lawsuit because Ms. Favor isn&#8217;t footing the bill to fight it in court.  The taxpayers are, as the Buckeye Firearms Association (BFA) pointed out.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;City leaders know who is responsible for their spike in violent crime,&#8221; said Dean Rieck, Executive Director of BFA in a Tuesday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buckeyefirearms.org\/breaking-city-columbus-defies-judge-votes-pass-illegal-gun-control-laws\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"columbus-city-council-passes-gun-control-in-direct-violation-of-state-law\" title=\"Columbus City Council Passes Gun Control In Direct Violation of State Law\">press release<\/a>. &#8220;Why aren&#8217;t they using this information to tackle crime directly instead of passing new gun laws criminals won&#8217;t follow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rieck pointed out that preemption, as it relates to firearms, is settled law in Ohio, and that this issue has been litigated all the way up to the state&#8217;s Supreme Court.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Buckeye Firearms Association will fight Columbus in the court and in the legislature over their renegade ordinances,&#8221; he added.  &#8220;And when the city again loses, they will be forced to explain why they are again wasting time and taxpayer dollars in such a futile and reckless way.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The package now heads to the desk of Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther, a Democrat, for his signature.
