It’s hard to get 77% of Hoosiers to agree on anything these days, but in Senator Mike Bohacek’s district, 77% of his constituents responded that the current permitting system for handgun licenses should remain in place. #INLegis
#INLegis Sen Ryan Mishler’s constituents clocked in at 67% in support of keeping our current licensure process in place.
#INLegis Senator @ScottABaldwin’s constituents said at 71% that we should keep our current licensing system in place, yet he coauthored a bill to remove the permitting system.
#INLegis Senator Justin Busch’s constituents at 76% said we should keep in place permitting requirements for who we entrust to carry guns in public.
Senator Ed Charbonneau’s constituents at 75% would like to keep the current licensure system in place #INLegis
Oooh boy, Senator @KyleCWalker, asked the question in two different ways and we’re still at 88% and 80% who want the current licensure system to stay in place.

Here’s some facts from the article which Rep Lucas calls “garbage”:
When the city counted its 100th homicide in June, 81% were a result of gunshots, according to Indianapolis Metropolitan Police data, and 74% of those killed were Black.
This tracks with data from 2020, where 183 Black victims accounted for 74.69% of total homicides.
Nearly 40% of Indiana's Black residents live in Indianapolis according to Census data.
I first taught The Diary of Anne Frank to 8th graders in the mid-2000s.
When I started the unit, I addressed the Holocaust as if the students had foundational knowledge. Imagine my surprise when a student asked me, “Wait, what are you talking about?”
There were several students in my class who had never heard of the Holocaust. At 13, they had never been taught about what actually happened. Instead, it was just a word they had heard without much knowledge.
That evening, I scrambled to find as much as I could to supplement, including a super helpful teaching aide that helped me deliver the necessary background knowledge the kids needed in order to comprehend this moment in history.
