Lawmaker: Indiana 'blew it' by not ensuring man had no guns

Clark County chief probation officer James Hayden has told The Associated Press that probation officials had rated Howell a low-level offender in the misdemeanor intimidation charge, and that a probation officer met with him in May, but had yet to schedule an in-home visit by the time Howell made it to California.

DeLaney said he wants to introduce bills that would ban large ammunition clips and "automatic military-type" weapons, as well as increase funding for county probation departments in light of recent changes in state sentencing laws that are directing more people to probation and community corrections programs rather than jail or prison.
