A Franklin County judge has ruled that Columbus, Ohio's ban on bump stocks is unconstitutional under the state's constitution. The judge determined that a bump stock is a component of a firearm, and therefore, the city's ban violates state law that generally permits the possession of guns and associated parts. This ruling may impact similar bans in other Ohio cities, such as Cincinnati.

This decision prevents local municipalities from enacting their own gun ordinances that conflict with state law, aiming to create a uniform standard across the state.
