Missouri lawmakers didn’t listen to the experts on guns in 2016.
They didn’t listen to the police officers, the prosecutors and the criminal justice officials who said it made no sense to pass two dangerous bills regarding firearms.
They didn’t even listen to the pro-Second Amendment gun owners who wanted to keep sensible laws on the books.
Instead, the legislators approved establishing a “stand your ground” law in the Show-Me State. That essentially would make it easier for someone to shoot another person for questionable reasons and then get away with a crime.
The second measure that got through the General Assembly would allow people to carry a concealed weapon — with no training and no permit. Talk about irresponsible.

So, freedom is irresponsible eh?
The British soldiers in 1776 would have loved to have had unarmed citizens confronting them at Concord and Lexington.
Your an idiot and no nothing about responsible firearms owners. Name ONE criminal who has gotten a concealed carry permit to commit crime and you might have a point. The only point you currently have is on top of your head.
We currently have I think is over a dozen states with constitutional carry, and no problems with crime from ordinary citizens carrying concealed is occurring. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
