About 100 attend Campbell rally to protest gun ban

CAMPBELL — About 100 people gathered here to rally for their constitutional rights, despite a last-minute venue change by the city.

Today’s rally, organized by the Youngstown State University chapter of Young Americans for Liberty, gave folks the opportunity to protest an ordinance banning gun sales in the city.

“The city passes an ordinance that bans the sale of guns here,” Varg Freeborn, president of the YAL, said, “But according to Ohio law, Ohio is the only entity that can regulate the sale of firearms.”

Freeborn addressed the crowd in the city’s Roosevelt Park.

“In the end, it’s up to you to protect you,” he said. “Because the criminals ... don’t care about the law.”

Originally scheduled at Campbell City Hall, the rally was moved to the park less than 24 hours prior.
