The Blaze:
Last week, Missouri Democrats introduced a bill that would ban semi-automatic rifles and give law-abiding gun owners 90 days to turn in their firearms to law enforcement or become felons. This week, a GOP state representative has turned the tables to make a point.
Rep. Mike Leara (R-St. Louis) introduced legislation Monday that would make “any member of the general assembly who proposes legislation that further restricts an individual’s right to bear arms” guilty of a class D felony.
The entire bill, HB 633, can be read on the Missouri House of Representatives website.
This bill stands a better chance of passing then the one banning semi auto rifles, the Dems who are purposing that one are really overreaching and they know it doesn’t stand a chance of passing. They think this will give them some advantage in the 2014 elections, I think it will cost some of them their seats.
Yes I would love to see it pass.
