"Cincinnati’s ban on “trigger activators” like bump stocks, originally approved by city officials in April of 2018, is unconstitutional according to the state’s First Appellate Court. The decision, handed down on Wednesday, is a blow to anti-gun activists in the Buckeye State who cheered when the mayor signed the ordinance making possession of the devices a misdemeanor crime in the city. It’s also the right call, as the appellate court upheld the original decision by a trial court and noted that the local law clearly conflicts with state law protecting the right to keep and bear arms.
The opinion not only hands Second Amendment advocates a legal victory, but will take some cash out of the city’s coffers as well. Cincinnati was ordered to pay attorneys’ fees by the appellate court (over the city’s objections). Most importantly, however, the decision makes it clear that in Ohio, the right to keep and bear arms is real, recognized, and fundamentally important."
