“We are at war.”

Yep. Democrats are large and in charge in Indy.
You think this will get any better with a merged sheriff/IPD department?
Shit. No, let’s take guns out of people’s hands instead.

The mayor also suggested it was time to look at the issue of guns, alcohol and late hours, which figured into several of the shootings. He wants to study the possibility of a city ordinance or state law to penalize people who bring guns into places that serve alcohol.

Typical. That will NOT solve the problem, Bart. And in all fairness, I think you’re borderline-violating the 2nd Amendment if you try it. If a citizen has a CCW, you can’t make him take the gun out and check it just because he’s in a bar.
And read this, too. These are gang killings, dimwits. Only gangs do shit like this.
We need more citizens of good will with CCW permits, not less, and with the training to use them properly when necessary. “An armed society is a polite society.” Maybe Sheriff Anderson should read some Heinlein before he shoots off his mouth about it being a war.
