When Kansas City resident, Montell Bruce, went to church last Sunday, he likely had no idea that he was about to be the victim of a shooting in a state-mandated “Gun Free Zone.” Bruce, a greeter at the House of Refuge Family Worship Church, was at his post when an armed suspect entered the building and fired multiple shots. Fearing for the safety of the church members, Bruce rushed the
Friday night, the 2017 legislative session came to a close here in Jefferson City. Sadly, despite months of work from grassroots gun owners like you and me, so–called “Gun Free Zones” remain the law here in Missouri. Thanks to all of your calls, emails, trips to the capitol, and Facebook messages –- we were able to advance House Bill 630 through three separate House committees. However, the House leadership team
We’re down to the final days of the 2017 legislative session here in Jefferson City, with an adjournment expected this Friday. That means that time is running out for you and I to pass HB630, legislation to repeal the deadly “Gun Free Zones” that blanket almost two dozen locations here in Missouri. With your help, we cleared the Second Amendment Sub-Committee, the House General Laws Committee, and the House Rules
Less than three weeks. That’s how much time is remaining in the 2017 legislative session as the General Assembly is on track for a May 12 adjournment. It’s essential that we move fast to make sure that HB630 gets voted on and moved through the House — and it’s essential that you contact the leaders of the House to make that happen. More on that below. As a reminder, this
Earlier today, House Bill 630 was voted out of the House Rules Committee by a vote of 9-3!

I’ve got breaking news on HB 630! Rep. Taylor was just notified that the House Rules Committee will be voting on this bill tomorrow at 1:00pm! Whether you’ve contacted the committee already or not, I need you to do it again right away. It’s urgent that you do, as more and more organizations and legislators are opposing this bill the further along in the process we get. Insiders are reporting
If you haven’t already heard the news, the House General Laws Committee passed House Bill 630 by a party line vote of 9-3 late Tuesday night. The bill now moves to the House Rules Committee for their consideration, and I have to tell you, with the calendar moving steadily along — they need to hear from you now! There are always a flurry of last minute budget bills that require
I’ve got good news to report! Moments ago, our bill to end deadly ‘Gun Free Zones’ here in Missouri cleared the General Laws Committee by a vote of 9-3! The bill, House Bill 630, did so despite Michael Bloomberg’s front-groups constantly swarming the Capitol during the committee process trying to kill the bill. That’s because of you! Your calls and emails and Facebook messages are making a major difference here
Tuesday night was a long one in Jeff City and the legislature was working almost non-stop on their budget bill. Initially the 4pm committee hearing on HB630, our bill to repeal the dozens of deadly ‘Gun Free Zones’ in Missouri, was delayed until 7pm. Later it was rescheduled to 9pm and then, as they were turning out the lights in the committee rooms, they announced that the committee meeting was
At 4pm today, the House General Laws Committee will be taking up HB 630, meaning you have time to contact the committee one last time! I hope you will, it’s urgent. This legislation would simply remove the dozens of deadly ‘Gun Free Zones’ that exist in Missouri code — the places where violent criminals almost always go to rack up a body count. But Bloomberg’s people are flooding into the
