Indiana - The War on Guns

Not Over by a Long Shot

The city of Gary, Indiana’s long-running lawsuit against major firearm manufacturers has been shot down by Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, just a few days after the legislature gave its final stamp of approval to a bill that prohibits any cities or other political subdivisions from suing a firearm or ammunition manufacturer, trade association, seller, or dealer over the design, manufacture, importing or exporting, distribution, advertising, marketing, sale; or criminal, unlawful, or unintentional use of their products.

There’s No Place Like Home

Indiana State Sen. Fady Qaddoura said he’s pushing to give communities a say over their own gun control policies. [More]

And there’s a man who knows a thing or two about patchwork quilts.

Tot Shot

3-year-old shoots 2 people in Lafayette, who was wanted for murder [More]

I can’t tell you how many times that happened at my house when feral sons Uday and Qusay were growing up.

Thank goodness “safe storage laws,” or in Indiana’s case, a Class C felony for “dangerous control of a child/firearm” charge, will keep these things from happening in high-risk (criminal) homes!

There’s No Reason for Indiana Statehouse Campus to be a ‘Gun-Free Zone’

That leads to the logical question of why the politicians would be safe when outnumbered by gun owners on one side of an artificial property line, and wouldn’t be if those same gun owners took one step over it, where they would find themselves in violation of the law? [More]

So the right of the government to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed?

Double-Plus-Ungood

The devices, commonly called Glock switches or auto sears, are already illegal under the federal National Firearms Act. [More]

And now they’ll be even more illegal!

What anyone who’s proven he can’t be trusted with these is doing without a custodian is left unsaid.

Unequal Protection

Bill would make children’s statements mostly inadmissible if law enforcement lied to them [More]

They can do it to the rest of us, but a homicidal “teen” gang reptile or a budding school shooter is immune? That’s what it’s about, and they’ve found no shortage of Republicans to make it “bipartisan.”

Maybe there’s a loophole we could argue to get the same benefits.
