State Gun Database Debate

Ohio lawmakers, looking at creating a statewide database of violent offenders, now are considering making all of that information only available to law enforcement.

The family of a University of Toledo student who went missing while bicycling and was later found dead is pushing for a registry that tracks people convicted of violent crimes.
