On the streets of Akron and most large American cities, gun violence has risen sharply since the COVID-19 pandemic began, leaving a long line of grieving families. In Congress and the Ohio Statehouse, proposals to control guns with reasonable reforms almost always die themselves. Instead, Ohioans are now allowed to “Stand Your Ground.”
The result is a bloody gridlock, with the Second Amendment pitted against the rights of those who want to live in peace.
Akron City Council and Mayor Dan Horrigan want to change that conversation by boldly attacking gun violence with $20 million of $153 million in federal COVID recovery funds. Horrigan’s early plans call for employment programs and training, support of ongoing initiatives and more recreational opportunities.

Before equity across the board â gender, racial, ageism and so forth, is reached, it still has a long way to go, says Willoughby Mayor Robert Fiala. We re making a commitment to fix that and it s something that s probably going to take a lot longer time than what I m going to be in office, he said. If we start the discussions now, then maybe in the near future, we re going to see some progress made with equity.
The city has an obligation to do its best to make a difference with equity across the board, Fiala said.
