James is a staunch advocate of gun control. In an editorial published in the Kansas City Star in February, he wrote, “State government has aggravated the problem by refusing to allow cities like ours and St. Louis from doing anything to try to control the number and types of guns on our streets and in the hands of those who shouldn’t have them.”
Parson has a history of supporting pro-gun legislation, like the “stand your ground” law that allows people to use deadly force on their property in self-defense. After a stop at a police station, Parson said he would work closely with leaders in the two cities to address the issue. |

"Parson also said he would consider legislation that gives cities more freedom to regulate guns — if a bill makes it to his desk."
Not good. Not good at all.
A Republican governor who doesn't hold the line is worse than worthless; he is an enabler.
FL's Rick Scott, an otherwise excellent governor, compromised his pedigree by caving into leftist pressure. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
