Do these people (insert appropriate expletive) really represent the majority of Missourians? This is a question I find myself asking almost daily!
First, I hear our inspired State House has passed a clearly unconstitutional bill blocking enforcement of federal firearm laws. Then to add insult to injury I read this article as I am trying to research the first bill. SO, many on the right in our state say they do not want the government to interfere with private rights, yet they feel it is ok to tell a property owner they cannot ban guns on their property.
Now, I understand the intent is to say a person can have their firearm in the car while on a businesses property. The bill also does limit liability for these business owners. However, it is still hypocritical to enforce one group of citizens rights over another. IT IS STILL the government stepping in and dictating what you can do on your property. IF these same legislators weren’t so opposed to items such as smoking bans INSIDE a business property then maybe it would not appear so hypocritically. In fact, legislation has been introduced to punish counties and municipalities that have smoking bans, another clear act of government intervention from those who claim to abhor, government intervention. Trying to track the logic only makes my head hurt.
