Wednesday will mark the final showdown between Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon and Republican legislators, as lawmakers return to the Missouri Capitol to consider overriding the governor’s vetoes. The marquee fight will come on a bill eliminating training and permit requirements to carry a concealed gun in public and another that mandates that voters show a government-issued photo ID before casting a ballot.

Nuts. Training benefits many aspects and everyone involved, yet mandating such skirts "infringing" 2A rights. Require a $25-$40 fee for the permit but waive said fee with receipt for having taken the class. Taxpayers pick up the tab for the permit paper work and responsible gun owners take responsibility for being trained. Lowers the controversy level, comes closer to the win-win idea. |

QUOTES
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]. |
