I'm not saying this is a good bill or a bad one, but it will not make semi-automatic guns illegal. The text on the bill says that it will provide for a sentencing enhancement for a person is convicted of dealing drugs, if they possessed a handgun or semiautomatic weapon in violation of current Indiana Law.

Good catch.

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.
