The Indianapolis City-County Council has voted in favor of Proposal 156, a gun control measure introduced by Mayor Joe Hogsett. The ordinance raises the minimum age to purchase a gun to 21, bans "assault rifles" within city limits, and requires a license to carry. However, the measure is not immediately enforceable due to state law restrictions. Supporters argue it is a necessary public safety measure, while opponents claim it is unconstitutional. The council also approved adding three federal prosecutors to focus on prosecuting federal gun crimes as part of the mayor's public safety plan.
