Indiana House approves gun bill

[Joniki]

Democrats say the measure is a “Trojan horse” designed to erode reasonable firearms restrictions. They say statistics show many gun owners are killed with their own weapons.

What???

Indiana House approves gun bill; Dems call it ?Trojan horse? | WANE

They say statistics show many gun owners are killed with their own weapons.

This line is in every article (it seems) about this bill. Does no one use logic when considering this line? This bill has nothing to do with buying or ownership of guns...only that a person with a PO can legally take the gun they already own off of their property.

That could be true if you count suicides, negligent shootings, and the occasional bad guy getting your gun. A statistic saying "many" is not really a statistic as much as it is a general statement. You could call 20% "many" if you wanted to. He does not say a majority and he does not quote a percentage.

Typical spinsters.

Well, they've been calling for "common sense." The IN house just smacked them upside the head with some and they don't like it.

I see no one from WANE would put there name on this flaming bag of dog ****. "Democrats say..." My question would be WHO?? FDR?? JFK?? LBJ?? If it's the old snake-oil salesman Charlie Brown use his name. Define "reasonable". Anything that gets them re-elected... Maybe if the "staff" at WANE had reasonable restrictions including being licensed to exercise their 1st amendment right they'd have a different view on what is reasonable and what is not. Rant over.

I have heard Guy Relford speak about this bill many times on his show.....no where in this article does any of the truth make itself known. The bill (as I understand it) would allow domestic violence victims the opportunity to carry a handgun off their property WHILE they're LTCH application is being processed. The bill to get rid of the licensing (or carry without a license) didn't make it out of committee again. These are two different bills being touted as one big one.

A basic argument of gun control: Somehow the bad guys always know how to use their guns for evil, but the average citizen can never be trusted to use theirs for good.

BTW there is a poll about this bill at the link, so go vote on it.

The Left simply prefers all victims to be unarmed. No surprise to their reaction.

And the type of report that I've (and others) have argued w/ some "reporter" (via FaceButt) that this is misleading and they come back w/ "it's the readers job to go look up the language - nothing here is false" ... UGH.
