Dozens rallied in Campbell Saturday hoping to put an end to the city's gun sales ban.

The city of Campbell banned the sale of guns last week, and protesters are claiming that's against Ohio state law.

An Ohio Conceal and Carry group has already filed a lawsuit against Campbell saying it's unconstitutional. And the protesters Saturday claim the lawsuit would cost the taxpayers money for something that is unnecessary.

Rally organizer, Varg Freeborn, said, "If we don't control the government, if we can't control the government in our backyard, then how can we control the government in D.C.? How can we do anything? If we lose our voice to show our support or our opposition, whatever the issue might be at any given time, then we've lost the country."

There is a Campbell City Council meeting this Wednesday where the protesters hope the gun ban will be repealed.

Campbell cannot pay its own bills and it wants to ban business?? Gun shops are located within ten minutes of Campbell's city limits so what are they gaining with this ban? Dumb; very dumb.

Campbell political idiots, you REALLY got me peed now! Which one of you idiots would like to answer me on here and tell me and the rest of the people who was (and is) stupid enough in your government to enact an idiotic law like this? I can not believe you idiot morons can not learn from history.....if criminals know there are few guns in a city,ANY city, they are ecstatic (for those of you politicians who can't read, that means "happy") because the people can not protect themselves!!! Then you have about 2 1/2 police in town, what the hell are THEY supposed to do? (you blame budget cuts for leaving your city unprotected, I blame corruption and theft, but that's beside the point of the moment.)Whether it is against Ohio Law to pass this is immaterial for now....action like this is ALWAYS against COMMON SENSE! Oh,I'm sorry, you Cretins are in government, so "common sense" is not something you'd be familiar with. Whose side are you on? the citizens of Campbell, or the Federal Government,(another bunch of crooks).Why would you take YOUR city, whose safety with which you are entrusted,and model it after a cesspool like Washington District of Corruption. Will ONE (or more)of you Neanderthals debate me on here, please? I want to make you look even more stupid than you appear to be, and believe me, I can do it because the stupidity is there,all I have to do is expose it. The VOTERS in Campbell need to know who you are.And if they already know then they need to get rid of you the next election in which they can.
