Bretibart: Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) vetoed protections for gun owners on Wednesday and criticized Republican lawmakers for not giving him a firearm confiscation bill to sign.
NBC4 and the AP reported that the bill Kasich vetoed would have put the onus on the state in situations where a Ohioan claimed self-defense in shooting incident.
Kasich said:
This bill would reverse the burden of proof in criminal cases in which the defendant alleges he or she acted in self-defense. The bill would require the prosecution to disprove, beyond a reasonable doubt, the defendant’s self-defense allegation. This has never been the law in Ohio; the defendant has always had the burden of proving self-defense.
He also pointed to his past support of pro-Second Amendment bills as a way to offset his veto of protections for gun owners who may have to shoot in self-defense. MORE
Hey John …… make your mailman dad proud. Stick a bunch of stamps on your ass and mail yourself to Venezuela.
Something about those lips. Makes me think they’re going to find a lot of little shoes in his crawl space when he dies.
I don’t expect the new GOP Governor (DeWine) to be any better.
But, I would like for this legislation be one of the first put on his desk, then we’ll see if a leopard can change his spots.
Clearly a pit bull should’ve bitten his father’s nuts off, PRIOR to September of ’51. 😡
“Gov. John Kasich (R)” – I’d say the “R” in his case, stands for “retarded.” But that would be an insult to MY son with Mental Retardation. He can’t help his; Kasich EMBRACES his. 😳
As the Son of a Son of a Mailman
I went out on the Route for adventures
forcing My views of the captain and crew
Like a man who’s going to need dentures
As a stealer of dreams and a travelin’ man
I have chalked up many a mile
Read dozens of books about zeroes and crooks
And I learned much from both of their styles
Chorus:
Son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a Mailer
Son of a gun, take all the guns
Just another un-American failure
(With no apologies to the Socialist Dimwit Jimmy Buffet)
If I were Kasich (Thank God I’m not) I’d be wondering what my security detail is thinking right about now.
Perhaps the state legislature will get off their asses and override this dumbass’s veto.
The sooner Johnny K. submerges into oblivion the better.
He has the pol’s prevalent attitude about the relationship between the people and the govt. And look where that’s got us.
State by state, guns laws keep creeping on and on. City by city, county by county etc. etc. It’s almost like it never stops. (sarcasm)
I don’t own a gun or any fire arm. But, I do NOT want the 2nd Amendment messed with. If I want to buy a firearm, I will.
So he vetoed a bill that would have required the prosecution to follow the constitution? What ever happened to “innocent until proven guilty”? With asset forfeiture laws, and gun seizure protective orders, I don’t recognize my country anymore.
