That's the leftist talking point, indeed. "Chicago thugs in gangs take a trip to Indiana and get their guns." What nonsense, what ****.Misty » 08 Oct 2017 2:46 pm » wrote: Are you really that obtuse?
Yes, the city of Chicago has very strict gun laws but people only need to take a drive over the state line to buy a gun, so the local laws are useless.
Only a federal law would address this issue, and Democrats don't run anything.
Both Indiana and Federal laws restrict purchase and possession under certain circumstances. Federal law prohibits possession of firearms for life by those convicted of felonies and for those convicted of misdemeanors involving domestic violence. Indiana law prohibits as follows:
IC 35-47-2-1 prohibits carrying handguns or possession within dwelling by those convicted of domestic battery.IC 35-47-4-6 states that it is a Class A misdemeanor for a person convicted of domestic battery to possess a firearm.IC 35-47-2-7 prohibits transfer or sale of firearms to any person with a felony conviction.IC 35-47-4-5 prohibits possession of firearms for convictions of “serious violent felonies”.
While Indiana law mirrors federal law for the most part, it does not ban those with non-violent felonies from possession of firearms. Therefore, a person with a non-violent felony in Indiana would be allowed to possess a firearm under Indiana law, but because federal law prohibits possession in this instance, that person would be unable to purchase a firearm since purchasing a firearm is subject to federal law and a NICS background check.

All Chicago laws are doing is denying lawful citizens the right of self protection. Do YOU want to be able to protect yourself? You leftists NEVER have an answer to gun violence besides removing guns from lawful citizens, which is the worst "answer" of all. We, and that includes you, essentially have NOTHING besides a weapon when/if a thug decides to make you his victim.
You can stop parroting leftist talking points about getting firearms in Indiana, for one thing. You're hurting defenseless people whether you mean to or not, because you're allowing thugs the advantage over law abiding citizens.And I don't know WTF you think I could do about it.
