"Claiming support from 49 Hoosier police departments - including Indianapolis - a trio of gun-violence experts today urged federal lawmakers to renew and strengthen the federal assault weapons ban that is set to expire on Sept. 13."
"'What more will it take?' asked Kathy George, president of Hoosiers Concerned About Gun Violence. A news conference was held the day after funeral services were held for Indianapolis Police Patrolman Timothy 'Jake' Laird who was fatally wounded by a bullet from the SKS rifle of a suspected mentally ill gunman during a rampage on the Southside on Aug. 18."
"The experts say they aren't against the Second Amendment, but do think that semi-automatic assault need to be off the streets. ..." ... -------

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
