I'd love to see something similar her in California. It's power to the people, and away from the

Imagine the boost to the economy from gun/ammo/range bag sales. Plus, it would put a

In addition, McDaniel filed a bill that would require every person 21 years of age and older to own a handgun if they are legally able to. That bill,
House Bill 1052, was introduced two days prior to House Bill 1108.
But alas, according to the Missouri House of Representatives website, neither bill is currently scheduled for a hearing or on a House calendar.
Nice gesture, but that will be as far as it goes.

Deletewe know it won't even make it into a committee let alone a floor vote. still, it gives one hope when a politician such as this can be elected in a state such as that.
ReplyDeleteI like my 95 year old mothers idea: give everyone a pistol and one bullet. only one. to use as they will. guaranteed to create a polite society. her idea, not mine. don't shoot the messenger...
