Mayor Joe Hogsett with the City County Council have recently made new proposals regarding guns intended to keep Indianapolis residents safe. As Guy Relford explains, these proposals are to create new ordinances, not new crimes. They can only fine people for violating an ordinance, they cannot put people in jail. In addition to the absurdity of expecting to reduce gun crimes with fines, the city of Indianapolis cannot regulate firearms because it runs counter to the Indiana Firearms Preemption Act. The law restricts any political subdivision of the state's ability to create firearm restrictions of their own, with few exceptions.
