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. |

| That it works in many other states is evidence to the contrary. Of course, Mo. residents may not be as trustworthy. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
