Boss Hogsett is at it again

[ratames]

I just saw this article on the WRTV website. Playing to the gun control crowd, trying to keep his job in November.

https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/indianapolis/mayor-hogsett-announces-new-plans-to-combat-gun-violence-in-indianapolis

Given most, if not all, of his wish list conflict with state law, I see zero chance of any of this happening.

I’m sure this will resonate with his target voters.

Funny, last I checked firearms regulations are preempted by state law (IC 35-47-11.1-2). The only way to do what he is claiming he's going to do is to change state law, and the mayor of a municipality has absolutely zero authority to do that.

Edit: BehindblueIs beat me to it.

 

[Twangbanger]

But he has a plan...

 

[Jeepster48439]

But he has a plan...

And it is those lunatic 2A State Legislators that won't allow him to implement it.

 

[BigRed]

Why do reporters not ask this pos some questions?

Has anyone asked joe hog**** where he was when the rioters were burning and looting the city and he told law enforcement to stand down?

Hey hog****.
Where were you on May 29, 2021, May 30, 2021, and May 31 of 2021?

Where the **** were you and what the **** were you doing?

Hognutts thinks he has the nuts to supercede the Indiana preemtive laws concerning local governments. This should be a fun crap show to watch.

These political buffoons just like to give the appearance they are doing something to gain votes.

From the article:

"The initiatives also include focus on stricter prosecution — something Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears is in agreement on."

 

[BigRed]

"In addition, the city is unveiling a new “I Choose Peace” pledge with Indianapolis Public Safety Foundation to provide outlets for neighbors, organizations and businesses to share why they choose to eject violence and promote peace in their neighborhoods."

Ah....new "Peace in the Streets" signs.

What a ******* clown.

 

[bgcatty]

The idiot wants to ban semi-auto guns because of the incompetence of the chief of police and prosecutors in Marion County! If the woke democrats would let the police do their jobs without fear of libtard retaliation, then Indy could start becoming a safe place. Enough with handcuffing the police; start handcuffing criminals and miscreants. Period!

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

But he has a plan...

Yep, s****ing on legal gun owners and veteran cops.

You've been here a bit longer than me. I've never seen IPD/IMPD officers leave to go to outlying departments until a few years ago. Maybe a few here and there to go to another state to follow a spouse or something, but never to surrounding counties. Now it's a steady drain.

It has never happened like it is happening now. If I was younger I'd leave in a heartbeat.

The Democrat plan is working. Don't have to defund the police when you can just depopulate the police departments.

From the Fox 59 article, he is blaming Constitutional Carry as the reason for the “increased gun violence” and not the activist prosecutor who won’t lock people up when they need to be.

Hogsett looks to curb gun access in Indianapolis with new restrictions, bans

INDIANAPOLIS — In what has been termed an “update to the City’s gun violence reduction strategy,” Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett is prepared to challenge the Indiana General Assembly in its next se…

fox59.com

“As of last July 1, police across Indiana were rendered mostly powerless to inquire about the legality of the possession of a gun unless officers were investigating a specific crime.

Merchants and business owners in Broad Ripple Village have recently lamented that IMPD is powerless to stop the influx of guns being carried out in the open due to Indiana’s Constitutional Carry law.

IMPD has investigated several shootings in Broad Ripple this year, including one that lead to an officer-involved wounding of a man who fired at officers last winter.”
