Would that be better for us than regular Bacon?
I mean if it can fly it has to be Bacon Lite.
Have gun-control laws quelled violence in Chicago, or in the cities headed by the coalition's co-chairs, Boston (Tom Merino) and New York (Michael Bloomberg)? Of course not. [emphasis added] But the mayors and their police chiefs declare from experience that hardheaded restrictions have helped -- and that the free flow of weapons from states such as Indiana makes their jobs tougher. The new report, a product of tenacious lobbying for information that never should have been secret, reinforces their case. It should be received in every state with thanks and deadly seriousness.
In case you weren't aware, the police can do an unannounced search of a felons residence that are still on paper, felons that have to answer to a parole officer.Thank you for sharing your comments regarding my recent statement on addressing illegal possession of firearms as part of our city’s comprehensive public safety strategy.
I firmly support the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States as well as legal, responsible gun ownership by law-abiding citizens. My focus, in addition to supporting the already-successful efforts of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD), is to reduce the threat posed by violent felons who continue to possess handguns in spite of current laws.
IMPD will continue to conduct warrant sweeps in targeted, high-crime areas, as recent sweeps have resulted in a high volume of guns seized from felons in possession. We will also continue to use technology and data that is currently available to aid local and state law enforcement agencies in their aggressive pursuit of felons who disregard the law.
I am not interested in adding layers to the existing criminal code, but we are looking at ways to better enforce the laws that we already have. That may mean seeking a tougher sentencing scheme for felons caught with handguns and taking the option for probation off the table. This measured response will go a long way in helping IMPD protect our citizens and the streets of Indianapolis .
I have committed to the citizens of Indianapolis that public safety is and will continue to be job one. We must all work together to make our neighborhoods safer and keep criminals off the streets.
Best regards,
Gregory A. Ballard
Mayor
City of Indianapolis

What are the details of the law regarding illegal guns? How might it be changed to improve the crime problem?I actually watched the interview and he made it clear that he focus was toughing up law regarding ILLEGAL GUNS. I have no problem with that. Don't read more into this than it is.

Well, I find a dirtbag with a gun...no license. The charge is only Misd if adult. If a juvi...they will never see jail-time, nothing more than probation. Penalties in this county in general are a joke.What are the details of the law regarding illegal guns? How might it be changed to improve the crime problem?
