To paraphrase what someone else said, not original with me,
Blaming the gun for shootings is like blaming Ford or Chevy for drunk driving car crashes.
So would it be out of place, to have an event at a car lot, soon after a car crash? That’s the same logic here.
Only boys care what 17 year old girls think. I don’t.
Anyone who says “I am for the Second Amendment but...” is a liar. Such a person is not for the 2A.
Betcha he was happy to have NRA members vote for him though. Don’t expect it next time.
Ditslear, btw, is GOP.
There are in my view quite a number of people in that part of the country who are one step over the line from Nazi tyranny. The mayor appears to be one of them. He could see no other way to get his message across than play the jack boot thug authoritarian. Then, when he did not get his way, he turns to public ugliness. Because he is smarter than everyone else.
Is there a video game store in town selling violent video games? Did he try shutting them down with public shaming? I won’t apologize if he did, but I would admit that he is an equal opportunity Nazi. Of course he didn’t!
No. You should lock up your kids if they’re so stupid as to play with guns.
Ive know the Hoosier Armory owner for many years. I’ve purchased many times from him. He’s a great guy and proud American. The mayor and his political grandstanding have embarrassed Noblesville.
Fair weather douche. These folks have no courage.
“He needs to be voted out in the next election.”
Why wait? An obvious abrogation of his oath of office.
Start and complete a recall!
Back in the 90’s here in SoCal, cops had a shootout with bad guys using full auto AK’s. The cops went to a nearby gunstore to get guns with enough oomph to compete with the bad guys.
The AAA is a terrorist organization promoting driving; it’s like banning a sober person from driving because drunks do.

“The NRA needs to realize that they have a place in this to protect gun owners but they also have to make sure that gun owners are responsible.” - The mayor is either disingenuous or stupid.

Fudds never know they are Fudds.
Mayor Fudd is a moron!
I’m disappointed that the NRA backed down & did not sign up new members.
THERE IS A LESSON HERE: NEVER! EVER! GIVE IN TO LIEBERALS!
I know the guy. He Loved Loved Loved helping very young girls on the swim team. I grew up in Noblesville. There were a lot of creeps including Ditz, Busby and his creep son. Thieved money from the parks and city council. Ditz OTOH had a son swimmer about my age but all he cared about were the little girls. There are some fish buried in Hamilton county and I can’t wait for the opportunity to dig them up and expose the stench. (Winking at Schwartz.) Things like a girl named Beaver that married Ditz’s son and their concrete biz. Ditz started out as a life insurance salesman before his venture into politics. He was a creep then and he is a creep today.
The girl who was quoted sounded like she never did her homework re gun safes, gunlocks, etc.
About 30 years ago I wrote a major column for the No. Virginia Journal about a “gun lock” that I had bought for $10 at a local gunstore in Baltimore. No liberals ever replied to it. Wonder why?
I always had my rifle locked when my kids were young. Still do so today.
It didn’t take any imagination to walk into a gun or sporting goods store and ask for a gun lock. The same for gun-safes. The NRA offers safety courses about gun safety as well as gun shooting, to anyone who wants to learn.
PS: My son was an Army M49 SAW soldier in Iraq. Qualified at 1,000 yards. Didn’t miss when needed. He also became a police officer yet he and his team took down (tackles) two crazed individuals with knives. You just have to know how to handle a situation.
My son-in-law is a Marine veteran of Kosovo and Iraq (Operation Ripper). The guy does know how to shoot. So does his son and step-granddaughter (my daughter’s girl).
My daughter can outshoot most men, used to help operate a shooting range/gun store while in college, and is an NRA licensed provider of CCWP information for potential holders.
My father was a Marksman during WW2. My father-in-law fought at Iwo.
And for this old geezer, I can still shoot a 1-2” heart or headshot pattern at 25 feet. Next time I’m going for 50 or more. We “deplorables” have got to stay sharp these days.
However, all of us have gun locks and gun safes. Always had. Always will. Safety is everybody’s business.
Hopefully the young girl in this story will read something about the subject before sounding totally ignorant of what’s already out there.
[I blame that on what is NOT taught in schools today, common sense and hard work, or “Research before you speak”].
Ditslear’s a jerk and was just running a scam on his little town of Noblesville.
