Leave it the Show Me State to be the embarrassment of the country thanks to a bunch of democrats. In the land of freedom, the Democrats are now open about wanting to confiscate your firearms. If they get their way, you will have 90 days to turn your guns in or face the wrath of the tyrannical dems. Believe it or not, all of this is happening in the land of Bass Pro Shops, a huge employer and revenue stream for the state of Missouri considering taxes and tourism.
Here's part of the law Missouri Democrats prepare to introduce in Jefferson City:
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.
What are these Democrats going to do when Missourians tell them know and march on Jefferson City ready to look these panty waste democrats in the eye--locked and loaded?
In the words of Patrick Henry, "Give me liberty or give me death." This could get interesting. I will remind these Democrats thanks to guns and other outdoor activities, they are allowed to spend more money in Jeff City.
The bill was introduced by REPRESENTATIVES ELLINGER (Sponsor), SCHUPP, MCNEIL AND WALTON GRAY (Co-sponsors).
To me, this looks like an open invitation to criminals everywhere to come to Missouri and rob Missourians who will soon face gun confiscation by its state overlords in the Democratic party.
Here is Missouri House Bill 545 in its entirety:
