Ordinance 910-23 - A Dangerous Law

Ordinance 910-23 was passed in March, 2006 by Cincinnati City Council. One of the goals of this law was to reduce the number of handguns on the streets of Cincinnati. Exactly the opposite has happened.

Since this law went into effect:

  • The number of firearms seized by the police has decreased by 20%. - Chart
  • The number of handguns used in crimes has increased by 56% - Chart
  • The number of firearms used in crimes has increased by 102% - Chart

Ordinance 910-23 has not only failed in its goal of getting more handguns off the streets, our city is less safe than before this law went into effect.

Our Goal

Citizens for a Safer Cincinnati plans to present the above data to Cincinnati City Council and ask that they repeal Ordinance 910-23 to make Cincinnati safer.
