Missouri Patriots, It's Time!

[Boge Quinn]

From proposed law:

An "Assault Weapon" is defined, in part:

"(1) "Assault weapon", any:

(a) Semi-automatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following:

a. A pistol grip or thumbhole stock;

b. Any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the nontrigger hand;

c. A folding or telescoping stock; or

d. A shroud attached to the barrel, or that partially or completely encircles the barrel, allowing the bearer to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned, but excluding a slide that encloses the barrel;"

There goes ANY semi-auto magazine-fed rifle with a forearm!

Penalty?

"4. Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was legally in possession of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution:

(1) Remove the assault weapon or large capacity magazine from the state of Missouri;

(2) Render the assault weapon permanently inoperable; or

(3) Surrender the assault weapon or large capacity magazine to the appropriate law enforcement agency for destruction, subject to specific agency regulations.

5. Unlawful manufacture, import, possession, purchase, sale, or transfer of an assault weapon or a large capacity magazine is a class C felony."

Gotta remember, the Brown Bess was the state of the art assault weapon of its day. Civilians were not limited to smaller caliber, shorter bayonet, etc.. stevemb

I am surpised at the state this is coming out of! I am afraid stuff is going to get down and dirty before long the way elected idioits are headed in some states.

[toroflow]

What are the chances that that bill will pass?

[Boge Quinn]

Not very good I hope, but we can't take anything for granted when the stakes are this high.

No offense to anyone here..and with sincere appologies to Subsonic,but The Great State of Missouri has a Achilles Heel in the form of St.Louis. I have several friends in the government here,in fact I can see the State Capitol while standing in front of my tool box,and the long running joke is that Missouri would be perfect if we could gift St.Louis to Illinois and Kansas City to Kansas.
I seriously doubt this passing but if its the same Bill I heard about earlier the black chick presenting it will at least get points with the sisters in the hood.

You keep "your" KC to your dang self, we have enough troubles on the other side of the line with our own KC

St Louis..........we don't want it either IL can have it....

[toroflow]

Seems the same in all big cities. Why do people turn stupid (liberal) when living in big cities?!?!

[RVN11B]

Better yet. why does a state have to put up with such morons? Both KC and St Louis are boils on the hind end of this great state!

[hairy]

I looks like the same wording used here in Minnesota. Same "think tank" put it together for all of us. Good luck guys! Our State Senate is doing bill introductions on the 18th.

At least we don't have to worry about such trash seeing the light of day here in Mississippi. Of course there are other problems, but at least firearms are still cherished here.

This ridiculous bill is getting all the attention while HB170 is not! We also have a bill introduced in MO that basically says that any Federal ban on any type of gun or accessory (hi cap mags) will NOT be enforced in our state. It also says that any enforcement of said bans will be a felony.

This bill is probably just a return shot (pun intended) for HB170.

I heard a representative from Springfield MO last night say that the guy that introduced this bill has as much chance of getting it passed as he has of being elected Pope. It is just an attempt at some national recognition.

This bill was introduced by Rory Ellinger. He is a wealthy attorney from the Saint Louis area (University City). His daughter is a criminal defense attorney. I am sure she never defends criminal use of firearms??? Ellinger was at one time a body guard for Dr. Martin Luther King. (Un-armed I am sure). Ellinger also is big on "prison reform" trying to make life better for those behind bars as well as early release programs.

Be nicer to the criminals and let them go, and take guns away from those that obey the law...all makes sense to me.

Yeah we wished that the '93 flood would have re-channeled the Mississippi river and STL would have ended up in IL.

We all think bills like these have no chance of passing but look at the POS that was put back in the whitehouse!! I for sure didn't think that would happen. I have never been wrong on a presidential election before. I knew he was going to win in 2008 but I didn't think there was any way the American people would be stupid enough to re-elect this America hating fool again. I was WRONG.

The house reps snuck in a very nasty bill here in Oregon just yesterday, Robb:
