Updated: 5:06 PM EDT April 19, 2021 INDIANAPOLIS — Two Indiana lawmakers attempted to push through a gun reform bill as the state legislature prepared to end its session. State Representative Ed DeLaney (D-Indianapolis) and State Senator Eddie Melton (D-Gary) were hoping to revamp Senate Bill 413 as a new gun reform bill in response to the mass shooting at the FedEx facility in Indianapolis. The changes to the bill would have mandated universal background checks for gun sales and set legal penalties for failure to comply. They would also have instituted a ban on the sale of assault weapons, as defined by the report as selective-fire firearms capable of fully automatic, semiautomatic or 35-burst fire at the option of the user.
