Former Fort Wayne mayor Paul Helmke, current Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence director, went on the Colbert Report according to an article in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette by Niki Kelly and Benjamin Lanka. Helmke said that Colbert was a tough interview because he’s quick witted and playing a character who can go off the rails and say anything. One of the questions

:
“Imagine how much more hopeful the story of the gospel would be if Jesus had a gun,” Colbert said. “Do you agree the idea of Jesus with a gun is a good image?”

That gives me an excuse to post this again:

The Lanka/Kelly article also mentions that in other political happenings, Reps Bell and Stutzman may be competing to replace Senator Meeks as he steps down; and that Democratic delegates for Indiana to the national convention are currently being selected.
