Call to ban Tannerite sales
5 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!
The use of Tannerite and other explosive targets has increased drastically in recent months and constitutes an ongoing nuisance and safety hazard to both humans and wildlife. How does it make sense that this and similar substances can be legally purchased but not legally used or possessed?
Law enforcement's inability to catch offenders in the act of using or possessing the substance has led to a game of cat and mouse, which is a massive waste of resources and time, and only further perpetuates the entertainment that these individuals derive from causing chaos. I and many others urge you to reevaluate the applicable laws and regulations so that we can return to peace in rural Ohio. Such products only promote violence, disrespect and division among community members and they have no place in our homes or our natural environment.
We can do better than to let a few loud individuals who thrive on chaos to disrupt the lives and well-being of our citizens as well as our pets, livestock and, in particular, already threatened species of migratory birds, etc. Please give this matter your prompt attention before we hear of more accidents or these substances being used in more nefarious circumstances.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this ongoing problem.
