GOP Ohio governor set to detail his new gun safety proposals

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is ready to share specifics of his plan to curb gun violence through proposed changes expected to face pushback from fellow Republicans who control the Legislature.

DeWine has said he wants to require background checks for nearly all gun sales and allowing courts to restrict firearms access for people perceived as threats.

He is scheduled Monday afternoon to unveil the legislative proposal detailing the plan he first announced in August , days after a shooter in Dayton killed nine people. Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley, a Democrat, is slated to join DeWine in Columbus for Monday’s announcement.

Republicans have repeatedly blocked gun-control measures at the Statehouse. GOP House Speaker Larry Householder said recently that discussions about taking guns from people or limiting constitutional rights are concerning.
