On the last day of the legislative session, June 3rd, the Missouri legislature passed SB646, which reforms the State's gun laws. The bill was passed with a veto proof majority in the house, 111- 28 and a potentially veto proof majority in the Senate, 21-7. Four senators did not vote. Two more votes are needed to make the Senate vote veto proof. Three of the Senators have voted pro-second amendment rights in the past. From opencarry.org, here is some history:
Mike Parson Rep Voted for nulification bill
Bob Dixon Rep Voted previously to overide veto of nullification bill
Kiki Curls Dem anti-gunner
Mike Cunningham Rep Co sponsor of previous pro-firearm bills
Two open seats
Rep. Mike Moon filed a second impeachment resolution on the grounds that Nixon moved too slowly in calling for special elections to fill vacant legislative seats.Here is a summary of the reforms in Senate Bill 656, from the NRAILA:
VII. SIGNING BY THE GOVERNOR
Bills Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed are signed in open session by the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tem of the Senate. At the time of signing, any members may file written objections which are sent with the bill to the Governor. The Governor has fifteen days to act on a bill if it is sent to him during the legislative session; and forty-five days if the legislature has adjourned or has recessed for a thirty day period. The Governor has four options:
Because the legislature is not in session, the Governor has 45 days to decide on what action he wishes to take. By my calculation, that would be the 18th or 19th of July.1. Sign the bill, making it become part of Missouri law. 2. Veto the bill. In this case, the bill is returned to the General Assembly where a two-thirds vote of both houses is required to override the veto.
3. Not sign the bill. Should the Governor take no action within the prescribed time, the bill goes to the Secretary of State, who then enrolls the bill as an authentic act. It then becomes law.4. Veto line-items in an appropriation bill. On appropriation bills only, the Governor may choose to veto selected items within the bill. The General Assembly may override this veto by a two-thirds majority of both houses.
Nixon is in more trouble over disregarding the peoples wishes (constitutional amendment) concerning what constitutes a marriage- one man and one woman. He directed the Dept of Rev (state IRS) to allow same sexers w/”marriages” from other states to file as “married” for MO income tax purposes.

A closet Dem and a documented Dem.
