INDems Statement on Mayor Styron Demanding Action on Gun Violence

Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron has had enough and is demanding politicians in Indianapolis and Washington take action to address gun violence happening at our schools. INDems proudly stands behind the Mayor’s comments because it’s past time Republican politicians stop with the hollow rhetoric and start protecting our children. 

After learning of Mayor Styron’s comments, the Indiana Democratic Party issued the following statement: 

“Mayor Styron used her American right — quite colorfully— to speak up and demand action, because as a mother and like so many other Americans, she is sick and tired of children dying to senseless gun violence. Policies like background checks and secure gun storage laws are universally approved by voters, but the gun lobby and people like the person who goaded her online are saying ‘NO’ – and that’s why we’re seeing Republicans putting their political power ahead of our kids’ lives.” – Drew Anderson, spokesman for the Indiana Democratic Party
