2024 IN Governor's race: on Gun Control
Suzanne Crouch:
Democrats want to restrict our rights to bear arms
Crouch said with Democrats in control of Congress and President Joe Biden we are seeing what socialism will do to our
country. "They want to nationalize elections and restrict our rights to bear arms," she said. "Big government and corporation media are eroding our rights."

Jennifer McCormick:
Arming school teachers is a very bad idea
McCormick has been vocal against the idea of arming teachers. She has said arming teachers is a "very bad idea," but she's left room for guns to be allowed in the state's schools. McCormick, a Republican, said there is more risk than reward when it
comes to arming teachers. "We lose our keys, for God's sake," she said. "I couldn't imagine trying to keep track of guns and the ownership. Where do we put them? There are so many layers to that."

Mike Braun:
Prevent declaration that gun violence is a health emergency
On gun violence: "Many said that public health emergencies would not be abused to impose gun control, but after we saw the vast expansion of executive power during COVID and the New Mexico governor use a public health emergency to effectively suspend
the Second Amendment in her state, no one can doubt that this needs to be addressed," Braun said in a statement. "We need to set into law that no one can remove the right to defend ourselves and our families with the stroke of a pen."

Curtis Hill:
Proud that Indiana is a constitutional-carry state
At an early age, Curtis learned the importance of the Second Amendment; as a young boy, he witnessed his home and family attacked by racist thugs. From that day forward, Curtis' father kept his family safe thanks
to the constitutional protections of our right to self-defense and the right to bear arms. Curtis is proud that Indiana is a constitutional-carry state and will stand tall against any attempts to infringe upon our Second Amendment rights.

Suzanne Crouch:
Allow teachers to carry guns at school
Q: 2ND AMENDMENT: What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?A: I believe in the right to "keep and bear arms" and that the
Second Amendment protects private gun ownership by all lawful citizens. I affirm Section 32 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana, which states "the people shall have a right to bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the State."
Finally, I applaud the passage of "Constitutional carry" by the Indiana General Assembly. Indiana General Assembly.
Q: Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
A: Yes.
