Democratic lawmakers will again try to criminalize firearms storage that allows children to find guns and potentially hurt themselves or others. In the Missouri House, St. Louis County Rep. Stacey Newman told the News-Leader she'll be re-filing a version of her previous bill that would make it a Class D felony to knowingly leave "a readily available, loaded deadly weapon" in the presence of anybody younger than 17. To meet Newman's standard for security, gun owners would either have to put a trigger or cable lock on their weapon, remove the ammunition or put the firearm in a safe.

Mandates before educating gun owners to how they can make gun ownership safer? Don't cry "commonsense" to me, it's primarily about harassing gun owners. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
