Legislature Considers Making Missouri's Terrible Gun Laws Even Worse

Are Missouri’s already dangerous gun laws about to get more dangerous? Imagine a scenario where any adult who wanted to carry a concealed weapon could do so, no training and no permit required.

Now add to that a “stand your ground” law that says anyone who feels threatened, no matter where he is, can shoot to kill. No longer would he have a legal duty to try to avoid confrontation, much less try to determine if a threat was real. He could shoot first and ask questions later.

A recent letter asserted that liberals hate the Second Amendment (“Joetopia’s liberal drivel on guns,” Feb. 5). Liberals don’t hate the Second Amendment. We hate how it has been perverted by the diseased minds at the National Rifle Association and its legion of stooges.

We hate the orgy of firearms forced on our nation by the obsessed fetishists of the gun culture. We hate unending gun violence and senseless murders, particularly of children.

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962
