Missouri lawmakers passed yet another dangerous pro-gun law this year, daring Gov. Jay Nixon to veto it.
And he should do that, because this one would allow people to carry a concealed weapon — with no training and no permit.
Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker correctly says that’s preposterous.
“You must have training” to properly handle a gun that can kill others, she said in a recent interview.
Yes, you do, but that’s never been the mantra of the Missouri lawmakers who think the Second Amendment should allow people to carry a firearm anytime they want and almost anywhere. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
