In Buckeye Institute Case, Judge Stays Enforcement of Unconstitutional Gun Ordinance
Columbus, OH – David C. Tryon, director of litigation at The Buckeye Institute, commented after Judge David M. Gormley granted Buckeye’s request for a preliminary injunction in Doe v. Columbus, staying the enforcement of Columbus City Ordinance 3176-2022, which—in
violation of Ohio law and the U.S. and Ohio constitutions—outlaws
certain firearms magazines in the city of Columbus. Judge Gormley also
granted Buckeye’s request for its clients to proceed pseudonymously and
denied the city of Columbus’s request to dismiss and transfer the case
to a different court.
“Judge
Gormley’s order vindicates and protects our clients’ rights and
recognizes that The Buckeye Institute’s clients are likely to succeed in
their claims that this ordinance conflicts with state law and violates
the right to bear arms as set forth in the Ohio Constitution. In
granting the preliminary injunction, Judge Gormley recognized that
Buckeye’s clients are already being harmed by the enforcement of the gun ordinance,
which makes it a criminal offense to possess a 30-round magazine in the
city of Columbus and dictates how firearms must be stored.”
