Missouri: [Anti]Gun Bills Pre-Filed for 2019 Session
Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- With the 2019 Missouri legislative session to start in a few weeks, legislators have been busy pre-filing both pro and anti-gun legislation.  The following bills have been introduced to date and we expect more in the coming weeks.

Anti-Gun Legislation

I had to look up what bills are being considered here in MO, when I heard TV reporter talking about one. It is the bill that would require firearms to be locked up in the trunk or lock-box when being transported in a vehicle. Reporter said the bill was designed to make criminals think twice before taking a gun out of a vehicle. Seriously? Criminals might think twice before doing a criminal act? I can hear their wheels turning in their brain cavity…”Oh, I had better not take my gun out of my car, before I rob someone, or kill… Read more »

Can’t figure out how to legal carry but can’t have it in the car and loaded but yet I can carry it legally

Jill Schupp (D-24) no doubt hawking this obvious bunch of Bloomberg-sponsored bills for financial kickbacks. These self-serving people are dangerous to liberty and personal safety. They need to be stopped here and removed from governing others.

The introduction of these bills is simply an exercise in futility.

Missouri Born

Both the senate and house in Missouri are in republican control as is the governor’s office so if any democrat bill should pass which I doubt, it will never become law.
You can see the pattern the liberal democrats are going to push as their national agenda against firearms, beware everyone.

Douglas

They said this when Trump was elected and look at the “bumpstock ban” and “red flag laws” infringements being implemented right now. We must always keep the pressure on our legislators to keep conservative values lest the compromise for short term successes. Also Missouri Born, LOL.

The Green Watch Dog

I learned that only 11 states require one to report to law enforcement officials a gun has been lost or stolen. Not doing so hinders criminal investigations. Guess when Joe Griswall leaves his pistol in the folds of a couch while humping his girlfriend while his wife is away and then the thing falls to the floor, it gets unnoticed. Come on Joe, be more responsible!

@Robert, The pontificating posturer probably produces prevarications and propaganda perpetually for pay. We only tolerate him because he claims to have adopted a couple of canines that needed a home. Otherwise no one converses with him very much.
