The Indianapolis City Council will debate whether to approve gun control ordinances tonight. The ordinances would place a ban on assault rifles, remove the permit-less carry law and raise the minimum age to own a gun from 18 to 21.
A plan introduced last month by Mayor Joe Hogsett takes three approaches to reduce gun violence:
"What causes us the biggest concern on this local ordinance proposal is that the mayor states outright that it's not lawful, legal or enforceable," F.O.P President Rick Snyder said. "We, at times, think the Statehouse treats our city unfairly, particularly when it comes to gun violence and public safety," City County Councilor Dan Boots said."We need to get the rest of the state to realize that if we don't take care of some of our urban areas, it will be a slow, cancerous death. Then, we're going to have a very sketchy future," Boots said.
Snyder did say he doesn't entirely disagree with the Mayor's plan, however he questions the timing of it. However, the Mayor also announced other steps he plans to take regarding new restrictions that are outside the laws of the State of Indiana. Yet now he wants to enact significant Gun Control measures which appear to be predicated on the Permitless Carry Law enacted just last year.
