Amendment 5
- Thread starter Hostile314
- Start date
Looks like it can't lose now, just a few precincts outstanding, and the ones that are outstanding are very likely to vote for the amendment anyway. I think we can call this one in the bag.

95% Reporting, it's going to pass by almost 2 -1 margin.
Constitutional Amendment 5 (Right to Bear Arms)
95% OF PRECINCTS REPORTING
Yes 490,565 66%
No 249,755 34%
I think the people of Missouri have spoken loud and clear! Would an override of SB 656 in Sept. be necessary now?

Don't do anything different until and unless the election results are certified! Law doesn't change no matter what the ballot says until the results have been certified!

Not sure how it would affect local municipalities. I know how it SHOULD affect it but in my opinion they should override anyway just as a precaution. Although if CCW isn't required anymore? Heck I don't know how this will all fall out.

Question: In MO does a constitutional ammendment need to pass by a simple majority or a super majority when voted on by the electorate? Is the super majority required 60% or 66%?

Don't you know, Governor Nixon came out in favor of Amendment 5.All I can say is bite it Jay Nixon
WOW!
I hope everyone is not going the same route as Arkansas. Making up stuff like their lame as journey. All prosecutors have to do is prove you were not on a journey in that state and your a murderer if you use your firearm in self defense while open carrying.
Don't make something of nothing. Amendment 5 is absolutely great but it will not allow open carry!!!!
Great win for the people of the country but it will not allow open carry!!!! Our lame little power hungry town councils and mayors will still regulate it.

That's the truth.
Are you being humorous or did he actual come out in favor after vetoing SB656?
As to the question does SB656 need to be overriden? Yes. With the passage of this amendment, there will be some areas of the state that will interpret things very slanted....hence a wheelbarrow full of $$ will help correct those areas. Once it becomes certified, the attorneys and municipalities will have to try to interpret it....which not everyone will see it the same way.
I would rather have SB656 passed and not need it, then it not passed and it be needed.
I am not being humorous. He came out in favor of amendment 5, although I would not call it a ringing endorsement. It was more of a "Well I don't think it's necessary, but I don't think I'm against it" kind of a deal. I posted it somewhere on here a few weeks ago.

Well, congratulations!
So, what is being said about the effect of the law's passage?

I must have missed it. I didn't recall.......
However, the more I ponder it, the more I do him saying something to that effect. IIRC, he made those comments just before vetoing SB656.
When you made those comments....I was thinking/recalling and actual endorsement...but you are right, it wasn't a ringing endorsement, but he wasn't against it.

Depends on who you talk with.
The liberals: there will be blood in the streets, excessive litigation, felons can now own assault weapons, etc.
Common Sense folks: solidifies the strict interpretation, makes gun rights unalienable, includes the ancillary items (ammo etc).
Here's the actual amendment. http://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/2014ballot/SJR36.pdf
