Gov. Mike DeWine says one of his top priorities in 2020 will be to push the package of gun and mental health law changes that he put forward after the mass shooting in Dayton in August. But the leaders of the Ohio Senate are suggesting that might be an uphill battle.
Senate President Larry Obhof (R-Medina) won鈥檛 speculate on the chances for DeWine鈥檚 bill known as STRONG Ohio, but says there will be a fair and open hearing process.
But in an interview for , Obhof did have a prediction on the so-called : 鈥淚 do think that we will pass a change to the 'duty to retreat' law.鈥�
Minority Leader Kenny Yuko (D-Richmond Heights) said he would oppose that, but he said he's hopeful for DeWine鈥檚 gun plan.
But he said it鈥檚 not enough 鈥� though he says abortion legislation 迟丑补迟鈥檚 been proposed has gone too far.
鈥淚f I can only find a way to incorporate the word 鈥榓bortion鈥� into any gun bills we might be able to pass some really sensible gun legislation," Yuko said.
DeWine鈥檚 bill is in the Senate because it鈥檚 thought it will get a better reception there than in the House, where there鈥檚 also a version of being heard.
