The 2019 legislative session had its ups and downs. We stopped ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ legislation and every other gun-control bill, but weak-kneed Republican moderates killed the Second Amendment Preservation Act and every other pro-gun bill! In our annual newsletter, we talk about this and everything else that happened during the 2019 legislative session. So for all the latest on politics, policy, and what’s in store for next session —
It’s been a very busy week in Jeff City as we work to repeal deadly ‘Gun Free Zones!’ Our Political Director, Alexandra Salsman, spent Thursday morning testifying in the Senate Infrastructure and Public Safety Committee on legislation to repeal ‘Gun Free Zones’ on mass transit systems. Our message, on behalf of our members, was simple: the spirit of this bill is great, but it doesn’t go nearly far enough! At
The 2019 session of the Missouri General Assembly is well under way, and I have been working for days to finalize MOFC’s legislative goals for the year, along with the budget we will need to be effective. But I have to level with you. With recent mass shootings at the Jewish synagogue in Pittsburgh and the nightclub in Thousand Oaks, CA, I am becoming convinced that our initial plan of
The first week of the 2019 legislative session is behind us. And while swearing in ceremonies and other procedural events dominated much of the first week, over a dozen nasty gun control bills have already been filed in Jeff City! And insiders report that more gun control bills are coming very soon. But we’ve also had our bills to repeal deadly ‘Gun Free Zones’ introduced this week, as well. With
I take no great pleasure in writing this email. But it’s an email I have to write, to prepare you for the coming onslaught of ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ legislation not only here in Missouri — but across the country. ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ legislation would empower left-wing judges to order your firearms confiscated without due process. No charges, no day in court, no conviction of anything whatsoever — just
As we fight to make sure that not a single gun control bill makes any progress in the upcoming legislative session, the Missouri Firearms Coalition is going to do all we can to finally rid Missouri of deadly ‘Gun Free Zones!’ As a reminder, we have over a dozen state-mandated ‘Gun Free Zones’ here in Missouri! These are places where you and I can not carry a firearm for self-defense,
It’s worse than I even suspected. For weeks we’ve been warning you about a gun-control attack being waged in Missouri via ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure Orders.’ Of course, this is the legislation that lets a judge order your firearms to be seized based on the unproven claim of a bitter ex (or others,) before you’ve been convicted of anything. More than that, these hearings are ex-parte, which means that you
For months we have been warning you that gun-grabbers in Jefferson City were going to make passage of ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ legislation their TOP PRIORITY in 2019. But by the look of it, this bill is going to move even faster than we thought! That’s because State Senator Jill Schupp has ALREADY PRE-FILED the bill according to her press release from last week! Missouri is just one of many
Michael Bloomberg and his allies in the Missouri House hate Representative Jered Taylor, for his unrelenting support of the Second Amendment. As our lead bill sponsor for the last two years, gun grabbers wanted to make sure that Taylor never came back to the House again. Well gun-grabbers had better get used to disappointment, as Representative Taylor won reelection to the House in district 139 by a decisive margin Tuesday
A gun rights bull dog is coming back to Jefferson City! In 2016, when the Missouri Firearms Coalition was about to launch our fight to pass Constitutional Carry and Stand-Your-Ground law, we entrusted the bill to then-Rep. Eric Burlison — hoping he would deliver. And boy did he ever! Burlison’s resolve on the inside — combined with the unstoppable grassroots activism from MOFC members on the outside –- made Missouri
