Gov. John Kasich is sounding off on the lack of movement on gun regulations that he鈥檇 proposed earlier this year, commenting on it in two separate public events.
Kasich talked mostly foreign policy and the NATO summit at the, but he did note his frustration about that he hoped Republican state lawmakers back home would take up. 鈥淚 have a legislature that refuses to consider common sense gun bills," Kasich said.
The day before he brought up one part of his proposal, a so-called red flag law to allow law enforcement to seize weapons from people considered to be dangerous. 鈥淚 cannot pass that through this legislature," Kasich said.
Rep. Michael Henne is the sole sponsor of the bill, which has had four hearings but is facing strident opposition from gun rights groups. Kasich has also said he wouldn鈥檛 sign a so-called 鈥渟tand your ground鈥� bill that many Republican lawmakers support.
