. 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.

This would be the worst in the nation! Luckily, this has no chance of passing. Be sure to email these folks and complain though.

Just by virtue of the fact that it's an ex post facto law is enough for a court to easily strike it down.

Now it's on the NRA ILA radar too.

Let's not forget about these jokers and aim to get them kicked out of the House next election for sure, as an example to others.

Let's keep bringing up these names in negative context and get the word out repeatedly to friends and relatives, gun stores and ranges and shooting contacts, email lists and forums we belong to, etc.

I sent a very nicely written letter but made my I would like to know if she is sidestepping the issue or is she possibly supporting something she doesn't know about. I received 2 emails from her first the one saying she didn't know what i was talking about then the second saying to disregard. Which is it?

Three out of four of the "Gang of Four" are from STL County. Gray was not listed on the House roster.

"INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVES ELLINGER (Sponsor), SCHUPP, MCNEIL AND WALTON GRAY"

It's her all right. Looks like that group introduced lots of bills, guess they hardly even bother to keep track of them.

"Just curious:

How do you know whether or not i support HB 545?"

Well.....for one, I clicked on your profile on the Missouri House of Representatives website that brought me to a page of bills currently in session.

http://www.house.mo.gov/billreport....ict:075&sortoptions=xsponsor&year=2013&code=R

Yep. Your name is on the co-sponsor list for HB545.

Just curious:

Do YOU know whether or not you support bills you co-sponsor?

Because I'm pretty good at drumming up contributions and support for candidates that know what they support and what they don't.

....especially when they run against politicians that co-sponsor bills they don't even know if they're co-sponsoring or not.

She co-sponsored it! Wow. How ignorant can a Rep be?!? Does she even look at what she puts her name on?!

And people wonder why nobody knows what's in the bills.

mechanicworkman · Feb 14, 2013

Well I'm glad to see that she finally owned up to at least being a co sponsor but, we need to bombard her and others like her with emails showing our overwhelming dislike/distain for supporting bills like this in any way shape or form. But she only owned up to it after I provided links from her page to the bills she sponsored or co-sponsored

If her name is on the bill as a co-sponser that means she supports the damn thing.

Call he up and say they you want to turn your gun into her directly and to please provide you with her home address and to note that she should wear something distinctive, like a company tee-shirt from Target Inc. ... for easy identification. And then ask what time you can come over?

Well I called (573-751-5538) and asked if she would accept my gun, hand delivered to her at her home .. and the guy who answered just hung up the phone w/o giving me her address ... well! That's not very nice. I thought folks in the south were nicer than him...maybe he's from NYC

From Senator Nieves

From a Facebook Page of Senator Nieves:
"Brian Nieves
3 minutes ago · ..
To all my 2nd Amendment supporting friends, Let me make this Perfectly Abundantly Clear... The Dems in BOTH the House & Senate have, and will likely continue to file Anti-Gun Legislation. Here's the Good News - I am the chairman of the committee in the senate to which ALL gun bills are sent!! ALL Gun Bills, good or bad, must go through me!! I assure you, I promise you, all these Anti- Gun Bills are dead, as in D E A D - Dead!! ALL - ALL - ALL the Anti Gun Bills are DEAD!! "

Careful here, it's not just an issue related to assault weapons. You have to carefully read the definitions therein. It says that a shroud that completely or partially covers the barrel and keeps the nonshooting hand from being burned. That means EVERY rifle that exists today, including black powder rifles....unless it doesn't have a foreguard in any fashion. "Shroud" isn't defined and is fully open to interpretation.

It also says that that if a semiautomatic handgun can accept a detachable magazine on any part of the gun, even outside the grip. Guess what a double-action revolver could be defined to be. Guess what those convertible revolvers will be.

Note the tube magazine limit to 22 caliber...unless it's a lever action rifle.

These 4 politicians have made an effort to subvert the Missouri and US Constitutions. It's time to find a way to get them charged with a crime so we don't have to wait until re-election to get them voted out.

davidmcbeth · Feb 15, 2013

While some courts have said that the right to bear arms includes the right of the individual to have them for the protection of his person and property as well as the right of the people to bear them collectively (People v. Brown, 253 Mich. 537; State v. Duke, 42 Tex. 455), the cases are unanimous in holding that the term "arms" as used in constitutional provisions refers only to those weapons which are ordinarily used for military or public defense purposes and does not relate to those weapons which are commonly used by criminals....from DOJ Brief to SCOTUS, US v. Miller, 1939
