Despite violent start to 2024, new gun legislation likely a non-starter in Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS — Both gun control and gun rights advocates reacted to the gun violence over the New Year’s holiday throughout Indianapolis on Monday. Both agreed proposed legislation on the tab…

Shall not be infringed upon really doesn't matter to some, does it?

I find it amusing that the people who are upset over an uptick in violent crime have no problem calling for the citizenry to be disarmed, but if you suggest that a better solution is to permanently incarcerate (or execute) the criminals - suddenly they collapse on their fainting couches.

You don't need to get rid of the guns, just get rid of the criminals. Problem solved.

When will the idiot legislators who dream up these ridiculous laws realize it’s not a gun problem but a criminal human behavior problem? They should be working on existing criminal statutes and enhance criminal penalties, prohibit no bail for violent offenders, etc.

WTHR's coverage of this drives me nuts. They keep saying that since passing "permitless carry" it took away the need for a permit to buy a gun.

“Last month, the Giffords Law Center gave Indiana a D- for failing to pass gun control legislation it says could save lives.”

Heh, we’ve got work to do. This is at least one letter grade too high.

Come on guys. They can't move forward on their next step to destroy the country until we willingly give up all of our arms. What don't you understand about that?

It's not that I do not understand their subversion of the Constitution, it is that I am vehemently opposed.

Agreed, as am I and any right minded citizen of this great country.

$crew the GIFFORDS LAW CENTER. Bunch of woke know nothing idiots who like to hear themselves talk.

Even Fox59, reporters of more crime than anyone else, blatantly crying in their headlines about the government not taking enough guns away.

I sincerely and truly hate journalists.

I don’t want their approval…I want them to hate us.

I want our state to be an F———

You know I think about stuff sometimes.
Indiana isn’t all Gary, East Chicago, Indy and such. The big cities attract a criminal element that really has no fear of Police or other citizens. They will not obey laws no matter how many you pass.

What is the cause?

Down here even the Democrats are pro 2A!

Well the “Shootersix Law Center” gives Indiana a solid B+ for succeeding in not passing any new gun laws that could preserve our gun rights!

If Indiana would pass a “sanctuary state” law or a “screw the atf” law or a “ the government can pass any law they want…but Indiana ain’t gonna enforce it” law…the “Shootersix Law Center” might just get the grade raised to an “A”

 

[Ingomike]

Down here even the Democrats pretend to be pro 2A!

FIFY

Pro 2A democrat... OK, sure.

So these supposed pro 2A Dems then vote with Republicans?

2 of the last 3 democratic sheriffs in Vanderburgh County have been solid pro gun democrats! I was at a town hall meeting where the (then) sheriff made the comment “get a gun! We can’t get to you faster than you can get your gun!”, the current sheriff (also a democrat) made the “im pro gun but” statement!

And a democratic candidate for a neighboring county told me nobody has a reason to own an ar15…I almost asked him “does your gun shop sell them?” (He owns a gun shop) but since I was at work (I don’t own the company) and he was a customer I bit my tongue

I’ve always said in Vanderburgh County, you’re conservative or liberal, because you’d find pro gun democrats and pro choice republicans!

I guess good for them. They gotta get elected in liberal-town.

The problem is that the Democrat party literally never votes pro 2A these days. The sheriff may not have anything to do with voting for legislation, but his party certainly does. He supports that party with the D next to his name.

It's understood why supposedly pro gun folks have to call themselves democrat, but their party has not voted anything favorable to the 2A for years.

When was the last time you heard of any dem that voted in legislation that was pro 2A? You didn't...

I totally understand, as it's similar here in Monroe County. It's good that the best person for the job does as necessary to get that job.

It's not a good thing to promote "pro 2A" law enforcement when their party is proven over and over and over to be anti 2A legislation voters.

The Democratic Party in Perry County has a big sign “We are Pro Second Amendment ” .

Kinda like Chickens for KFC but it keeps local politicians quite.
