A Franklin County judge has struck down Columbus' bump-stock ban, saying it violates the Ohio Constitution.

Franklin County Judge David E. Cain ruled Friday that the bump-stock ban the Columbus City Council passed in May violates state law and that the city cannot enforce it.

Cain ruled that a separate ordinance that makes it a misdemeanor to carry a gun while under disability in Ohio does not conflict with state law and can be enforced.

Ohioans for Concealed Carry and the Buckeye Firearms Foundation had sued the city in June, arguing that Columbus had violated the state's preemption law by banning bump stocks and passing a law that made it a misdemeanor to carry a gun while under disability.
