Resolution 17-14

This resolution is sponsored by Councilmember Chopra and calls for the Indiana General Assembly to enact responsible gun regulation. Specifically, the resolution calls for the General Assembly to repeal 35-47-11.1, a measure that prohibits political subdivisions from regulating the possession and carrying of firearms, ammunition and firearm accessories. The resolution also urges Indiana lawmakers to implement universal background checks for all private gun sales; presently, under federal law, only authorized dealers are required to conduct background checks. The resolution directs the City Clerk to send copies of the resolution to members of the Indiana General Assembly representing Bloomington and to the Governor.
