Wednesday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine rolled out a legislative plan to strength Ohio's system of doing background checks on gun purchases - a system he says is antiquated and "dangerously deficient."

WVXU Senior Political Analyst Howard Wilkinson spoke with News Director Maryanne Zeleznik about what is in DeWine's proposal and the chances he will convince the Republican-controlled legislature to pass it.
