The Indianapolis City-County Council<\/a> passed a proposed gun control measure by a vote of 18 to five Monday evening.<\/p>\n

Introduced by Mayor Joe Hogsett as part of his public safety plan<\/a>, Proposal 156 was initially approved nine to four by the city’s Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ordinance increases the age required to purchase a gun in the city to 21 years old, bans “assault rifles” within city limits and mandates a license to carry.<\/p>\n

“Tonight’s Council votes on Proposals 149 and 156 prove that Indianapolis and its leadership won’t back down from taking bold steps to protect residents and neighborhoods,” Hogsett said in a statement. “I applaud the Council’s bipartisan support for funding our partnership with U.S. Attorney Zach Myers, holding the worst of the worst offenders to account.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I also wish to thank those who approved our common-sense gun safety measures, including a ban on semiautomatic assault weapons, increasing the purchasing age to 21, requiring handgun licenses, and removing the concealed carry of firearms,” the mayor continued. “Tonight we are sending a clear message of where we stand about the causes of gun violence and the proliferation of illegal weapons on our streets.”<\/p>\n

The plan, however, is not immediately enforceable, as state law prohibits local governments from enforcing this kind of gun regulation<\/a>. The city would be allowed to enact the measure if state regulations are lifted or the law is changed by the legislature or the courts, according to WTHR.<\/p>\n

Opponents of the plan argue that it is unconstitutional.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I’m voting against this because I disagree with the toothless language and the policy itself, but also because it plainly violates state statute and state constitution,” Republican Council minority leader Brian Mowery said, according to WTHR.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, supporters of the proposal describe it as a necessary public safety measure.<\/p>\n

“You may call this toothless, but this is us taking a stand because it’s too much,” Democrat Councilor Ali Brown said.<\/p>\n

The council also approved a proposal for the city to add three federal prosecutors who will focus on prosecuting federal gun crimes<\/a> as part of the mayor’s public safety plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
