“The Office of Public Health and Safety will launch the “I Choose Peace” campaign which will seek to encourage businesses and groups to invest in anti-violence programs and declare events as Gun Free Zones this summer.”
More clueless virtue signalling.
I do hope that Mayor is sure to inform the criminals of the new rules in regards to guns. Good grief, America has a ton of laws and rules on the book in reference to guns, they just don’t enforce them on the criminals, just the law abiding citizen.
When Indiana is doing this then it’s time to not comply.
I will not comply!!
Only fascists ban guns…
How about GO AFTER THE ACTUAL CRIMINALS!!!
I first read it as “Hogswett.” More appropriate.
Stop and Frisk....
Blue city.
Pathetic Hogsett is up for re-election and not polling well at all due to all the violence and shootings done by HANDGUNS, not rifles.
Meanwhile he’s denied the violence outright for years since the Summer of love and claimed that the city is perfectly safe and vibrant…
Except now he claims it’s not because he needs the political points.
I live near Indy. Hogsett has no chance to get this passed. Since he took over, Indy is a crime ridden disaster. Decent gun owners aren’t going to be sitting ducks for criminals. They are going to self protect.
I grew up close to Broad Ripple Village. Used to walk around that place all the time. There have been crime problems there for many years. People carrying their guns will quit going to the bars and clubs in Ripple without protection because the criminals will keep their weapons.
I have also been hearing that the mobs ripping off stores has started in Indiana now too.
At last! The criminals will fi ally start obeying the law!
They never stop.
Doesn’t matter if it’s guns or child mutilation now.
As it should be. If it is not a crime to carry a firearm, then the police have no business questioning a citizen who is exercising their constitutional right.
I’m sure that Indiana has an article in their constitution that says that the state laws cannot be overridden by local laws. So this “law” would be worthless and the first person the local police choose to hassle over carrying a firearm will win a goodly sum in a lawsuit violating his rights under the color of law.
***that would ban semi-automatic rifles***
I still remember 1981 when actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America(ABC) poking holes in the air with her finger and screaming...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HAND GUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
A few years later they came for the rifles.
Nine accidental shootings PER MONTH? I find that very hard to believe as accidental shooting tend to grab headlines on the nightly news.
Lived in Broad Ripple in the 80s.
Very safe, wonderful place back then. Sad to see this change.
You mean the gang members arent purchasing these legally?
