Indianapolis-Marion County City-County Council Proposal 156
- ... that Indianapolis's 2023 assault weapons ban is a trigger law that will only go into effect if the Indiana state preemption law is repealed or struck down?

The age of the expansion looks in order and the sourcing is solid. However, calling this an assault weapons ban seems incorrect because the restrictions are more expansive. I would probably go with 2023 gun control ordinance instead. I would also move the article to General Ordinance 34 or Indianapolis-Marion County General Ordinance 34 since it is no longer a proposed ordinance. --Guerillero Parlez Moi 18:25, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Guerillero: I wasn't meaning to say the ordinance was only an assault weapons ban, but focusing on it because it is the part that is the most noteworthy, and I was just trying to go for interestingness. Perhaps we can split the difference, this comes in at 200 characters exactly:
- "... that Indianapolis's 2023 gun control ordinance—which bans assault weapons, among other measures—is a trigger law that only goes into effect if Indiana's state preemption law is repealed or struck down?"

- Regarding the title, I have also been considering what is the best name, and whether/when to move it (it had not had a general ordinance number assigned at the time I started writing). But I found there is a lot of precedent on Wikipedia for continuing to refer to enacted legislation by the bill's name if that is how iy becomes better known as (e.g. Arizona SB 1070, Florida Senate Bill 90 (2021), Texas House Bill 20, California Senate Bill 535 (2012), etc.). In this case, I cannot find a single media source that yet refers to General Ordinance 34. This title comes from the city's database, where the actual ordinance text can be found, so I used it in the text for accuracy. But I didn't feel like I could retitle it until it actually becomes referred to by that name in the sources. But I don't feel that strongly about it if I am wrong about Wikipedia's naming policy.
