A person who knowingly or intentionally:
(1) manufactures; (2) imports into Indiana; (3) sells; (4) purchases; (5) possesses; or (6) transfers possession of; a machine gun, an automatic weapon, a semiautomatic weapon, or ammunition for any of those weapons commits a Class C felony.
Read the bill, if it passes as is it will ban semi-automatic firearms. It is already illegal for a felon to possess a firearm. This law is absolutely needless.
I've been overseas for 11 years and I wouldn't think of calling myself anything but a Hoosier. Am I just being anal-retentive or what?
hoosiers have gone left ever since the factories left the Midwest. Welfare people swarm the state. It adds to the Cross Road of America state thing. People who dont make it often elect to stay there.
There my friends is all you need to know. The IU School of Education is a academic joke!
Back about 1970, the University had to greatly restrict the types of degrees you could get through the School of Ed. People were flocking there (mostly from the School of Arts and Sci) because the standards at the school of Ed were so much lower. No language, and little math requirements.
EXAMPLE, When I was in HS (1975) our school was big enough to have classes in Telecommunications (radio/TV production) Our teacher(in name only) was there because he took his production classes through the school of Ed rather than Arts&Sci. It was easier that way.
IU finally corrected the problem not by raiseing the standards at the School of ED, but rather dis-allowing students from carring non-Education majors through ED.
I moved from Indiana (for the second time) some 20 years ago but the state remains close to my heart, given that I grew up in "Da Reejun" (or attempted to do so) and did my undergraduate work at IU-Bloomington in the late '60's.
I was paraphrasing the USMC motto "Once a Marine, always a Marine," meaning that there is no such thing as an "ex-Marine," or "ex-Hoosier," for that matter.
All the best, neighbor, and may you see the banks of the Wabash someday soon when you return ...home....
Hope this helps.
I agree with your first two points, but the third? History shows that before people can be subjugated they must be disarmed. Would not history show that disarmament of the people is a proper step for those who would subjugate them?
If you're going to get punished to that degree for essentially doing nothing, doesn't it make sense to go ahead and do something for real?
It doesn't take a genius to figure out what most folks would choose to do given that scenario....
But many of these people are useful idiots and when I say they are ignorant of history, what I mean is that they themselves will be wholly expendable should their handlers ever get their way.
... and, for the SOB's who really do want to subjugate us, their ignorance extends to the history in this land of attempts by large government to do the same. It is precisely that point upon which our revolutionary war started and was ignited. They are ignorant if they think it will not go that way again ... both in igniting it, and in the outcome.
Best Fregards.
