(and is Indianapolis' high murder rate of 9 per 100,000 due to the lack of gun control)

Do you have those numbers backwards or are you just joking. 69 per 100,000 are higher numbers than 9 per 100,000. So if your numbers are correct than DC has a higher murder rate than Indianapolis thereby the strict gun control has not helped DC at all.
My opinion is if I have a gun and know how to use it which I do than I am less likely to become a victim because I can fire back.

Indiana has almost no gun control (including Indianapolis). Dont have to register any gun you buy, ANY. No background checks for person to person. The police cannot arbitralily reject a carry permit application. The only time anyone is registered and finger printed is for a carry conceal license. The only places you cant carry without the permit are gov. buildings schools and church. Class 3 weapons are legal (fully automatic, and/or silenced) so are cut down shotguns. So in Indiana you can legally carry a fully automatic suppressed 9mm Uzi, and a sawed off shotgun as long as it is concealed, and you have a class 3 permit and a carry permit.
Frivilous law suits against gun manufacturers is also illegal, we now have passed the "Castle Doctrine" stating you dont have to run away from a criminal before shooting in self defense.
These are the reasons I believe are responsible for the low murder rate in Indy.

When you turn on the information and you listen to a story about an innocent family being struck in their home, do you really feel secure? If this make you think then you must pay an appearance below https://tr.im/RopbS , a site that will teach you ways to shield you and your family members.
Patriot Self Defense system is successful for 2 key factors. The initial is that it make use of straightforward actions incorporated from all the very best fighting designs around. The second is that the manufacturers of this program didn't stop there, they took these steps into the lab and ran all form of scientific tests to amass as much data as possible before readying to work to examine this data and assembled a clinical established protection system that rather frankly revolutionizes the industry.
Feel secure with Patriot Self Defense

Indianapolis has gun control. You must register and be fingerprinted in order to carry a firearm. Maybe that is a deterrent? Penalty for failure to register can be severe.

I think it has more to due with the heat this summer. Poor people have little education and no AC. This **** happens every summer the last couple of years were not so bad though.

Not everyone who is murdered is murdered with a gun . . .
As far as I know, there is no real gun control anywhere in the US. In fact, in some places, it is more likely you will get into trouble with the law for smoking, than having a smoking gun.

No. People in Washington have a hard time hitting what they shoot at because of all the BS spewed from the Capitol.

i'm not sure, seems like real life murderers are unoriginal and always use guns perhaps? pretty interesting question though.
