Gun Ordinance May Fire Blanks
An ordinance that would limit gunfire in Marion County may not get out of the gate. City-County Councilmember Angela Mansfield introduced the measure in an effort to eliminate the firing of guns in the county. However, at least one Democrat says they won’t vote for the measure. Sherron Franklin says there are already laws on the books criminalizing the reckless discharge of weapons. There may also be at least two other democrats who won’t vote for the measure. Assuming all Republicans stay united, the measure would only have 12 votes and fail to pass. The measure comes for a committee vote on May 22.
