Missouri House Approves Sweeping Pro-Gun Proposals

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The Missouri House has given it's preliminary stamp of approval to looser gun laws. As many of our national leaders push for more restrictions, Missouri is moving in the opposite direction.

Groups like the Brady Campaign have given Missouri failing grades for the strength of its gun laws, but the state house is considering more freedoms when it comes to guns and few people in the Ozarks are complaining.

--------------------------cut--------------------------

There are actually 24 pieces of gun legislation in the Missouri House right now. The proposals in this bill would ban the enforcement of federal gun laws, allow certain school officials to be armed, some people with small firearms to carry them openly, and it would reduce the CCW age to 19.

"We're a concealed carry, second amendment-friendly state," explains A.G. Paul, owner of Sound of Freedom. And he is totally on board with that.

"Kind of makes you breathe a little easier that you're not in Massachusetts, Connecticut or California where they're stripping away everything they can."

The tone of the article seems a bit anti-rights, but not enough to deserve a barf alert.

Obama and the gang wanted to shut this type of stuff down. The states have taken command on guns. And it looks like nothing will be getting through the congress so their laws will be binding. And the people will be safer.

If you cordoned off the downtowns of the two large cities, the remainder of MO is quite conservative and friendly.

People who don't know when to use "its" without an apostrophy and "it's" with an apostrophe should stop trying to masquerade as journalists and go back to flipping hamburgers.

Well, give him credit for using "looser" correctly.

It's the same everywhere, whether it be one major city, two or three or four. Cities are liberals refuge and where liberals congregate you have violence. p>
