MO: Bloomberg Organization Pushes to Stop Override of Gun Reform Veto

One of Missouri Governor (D) Jay Nixon’s most visible actions against Second Amendment rights was his veto of the gun reform bill SB 656.  SB 656 contains a number of common sense reforms to restore Second Amendment rights and protections for people who legitimately engage in self defense.  From the NRA-ILA

• Recognize Missourians right to Constitutional/Permitless Carry where open carry is not prohibited
• Expand Missouri’s current Stand your Ground laws
• Expand Castle Doctrine protections for anyone legally allowed into your home, vehicle, business and property
• Specify that except for credit card fees incurred, no additional fee beyond $100 may be charged to process concealed carry permits and allows military members extra time to renew their permits
• Implement 10, 20 and 50 year options for non-reciprocity issued permits
• Allow components of firearm training for RTC permits to be online

It is not surprising the former NYC Mayor, Michael Bloomberg would oppose such reforms.  He has been adamantly opposed to an armed population his entire career.  He has invested tens of millions of dollars in funding anti rights organizations.  Some of his money is being used in an attempt to prevent an override of Nixon’s veto.  Only two years ago, the legislature overrode another veto of a gun reform bill.  That bill was also numbered SB 656. An override in the House seems highly likely, so the anti self defense lobbyists are targeting the Senate. From themissouritimes.com:

The gun haters need to "turn" two Missouri state senators to stop the veto override.

When is the “veto session” ?

[Rapscallion]

With Bloomberg and Soros America is in real peril.

The only date I can find is from the mo.gov site.

It says Veto Session in September.

Session begins Sept. 14. Not sure just when this cause will be taken up.

Bloomberg and Soros need to be shipped off to eastern Ukraine as soon as possible!

If any Republicans cave on this, they can expect to catch nine kinds of hell from pro-Second Amendment Missourians. NRA/GOA/MO Firearms Coalition and all RKBA Organizations I know of are backing the veto override. Anyone out there in Missouri ends to contact their elected officials and tell them how the hog ate the cabbage!

September 14, 2016 - next week.

Everyone who supports this override, and is able, is encouraged to attend and sit in the gallery. Support our senators and representatives as they stand firm for our second amendment rights.
