General Ordinance 34 (introduced as Proposal 156) of the Indianapolis-Marion County City-County Council is a local ordinance, passed in July 2023, that would enact various gun control measures within Indianapolis and Marion County if permitted by the Indiana state legislature.^[1] The ordinance's measures were proposed by Mayor Joe Hogsett's administration, and it was passed by the Democratic-controlled council. The passage took place during a mayoral election season, in which rising violent crime rates were a key election issue, and crime and gun control were a source of considerable debate locally and beyond.
