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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
