Indiana Republican state Rep. Jim Lucas (R-Seymour) has drafted a bill that would require journalists in the state to be “licensed” with state police.

According to the Indy Star, Lucas, a staunch gun advocate who hopes to repeal gun permit laws in the state, drafted the bill in protest of gun licensure.

The Star also noted that Lucas is known for making controversial social media posts, like a pro-gun post he made over the summer that taught women “how not to be a rape victim.”
