Cincinnati Sues Ohio Over Law Prohibiting City Legislation To Prevent Gun Violence

Mayor John Cranley told HuffPost that "people want us to be able to keep them safer."

There isn’t just one moment that inspired Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley (D) to sue the state of Ohio this week. But last September’s shooting at the Fifth Third Center building, which resulted in the death of three victims and injured two more, “added fuel to the fire” on the need to protect his community, Cranley told HuffPost.

“The fact is, [the shooter] shouldn’t have been able to buy a gun,” Cranley said.
