This is a resolution to encourage the State to consider closing some <br /> loopholes at the State level. Community groups have worked on this resolution and with that, I <br /> will turn it over to Steven Miller. <br /> Steven Miller, 1705 Lowell Wood E., stated, The rest of our presenters will be at the meeting <br /> later this evening, in respect for your time today. I am a forty-five (45) year survivor of gun <br /> violence. I lost my brother in 1972 to a violent gun homicide and we also lost our nephew, <br /> Christopher,to a gun suicide in 1994. My wife and I are both survivor-fellows and we advocate <br /> for common sense gun laws. This particular resolution calls for the expansion of background <br /> checks to cover gun shows, internet sales and private sales, which are not currently part of the <br /> Brady-law. The other part of it is to ask for stronger prohibitive measures for domestic violence <br /> gun laws. For instance, Indiana could require judges and police departments to confiscate <br /> 455 County-City Building•227 W.Jefferson Boulevard•South Bend,Indiana 46601 <br /> Phone 574-235-9221 •Fax 574-235-9173•TDD 574-235-5567•www.SouthBendrN.gov <br /> JENNIFER M.COFFMAN ALKEYNA M.ALDRIDGE JOSEPH MOLNAR <br /> CHIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK <br /> OPERATIONS <br />
