Missourians have watched for years as Republicans in Jeff City punted on IP Reform, resulting in the passage of Amendment 3, Prop A, and the very real threat of gun control being added to our state constitution.
HRJ-3 would protect gun rights here in Missouri by requiring any change to the constitution to be passed by a majority of all votes cast statewide AND in each of our 8 congressional districts!
This has already passed the House, now it’s time for the Senate to act.
Some Republicans say they oppose HJR-3 because it only applies to citizen-initiated petitions and not legislative ones, but that’s ridiculous. We are a republic, not a Democracy. We elect you to do these things on our behalf.
Some Republicans say they oppose HJR-3 because it requires a PQ Motion to pass it, (cutting off the Democrats filibuster and allowing for the vote.) But that’s insane. Missouri elected a GOP supermajority in both chambers. Letting a tiny minority block the will of the people and the elected majorities is not principles, it’s cowardice.
If you agree, please send this pre-written email to your State Senator immediately, insisting that he/she VOTE YES on HJR-3! Remind them that gun owners are scoring this as a vote on the 2nd Amendment, since that’s clearly what it is!
