BILL INFORMATION
HB436, the 2nd Amendment Preservation Act, might be the most appropriately named bill anywhere. It proposes to do just what’s in the title, and would nullify virtually all federal gun control measures on the books – “past, present, or future.” It reads, in part: All federal acts, laws, orders, rules, and regulations, whether past, present, or future, which infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution shall be invalid in this state, shall not be recognized by this state, shall be specifically rejected by this state, and shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this state. (2) Such federal acts, laws, orders, rules, and regulations include, but are not limited to: (a) The provisions of the federal Gun Control Act of 1934; (b) The provisions of the federal Gun Control Act of 1968; (c) Any tax, levy, fee, or stamp imposed on firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition not common to all other goods and services which could have a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens; (d) Any registering or tracking of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition which could have a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens; (e) Any registering or tracking of the owners of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition which could have a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens; (f) Any act forbidding the possession, ownership, or use or transfer of any type of firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition by law-abiding citizens; and (g) Any act ordering the confiscation of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition from law-abiding citizens. There is no stronger protection for the right to keep and bear arms anywhere in the country – if passed into law. Currently that title goes to Kansas, where an almost-as-strong bill is sitting on Governor Brownback’s desk awaiting signature or veto. A companion bill, SB325 introduced by State Senator Brian Nieves, has already passed the General laws committee in the Senate and will go through a similar process there. Moving both bills simultaneously is an excellent strategy towards passage into law as it will help fast track the measures to the Governor’s desk with enough time on the calendar to override his veto. Inside sources say if the committees move the bills forward, a veto-proof majority is attainable with strong grassroots support. |

So in theory this would make it legal to buy new select fire? Pretty bad ass either way!  It appears so. Looks like as long as the new select fire weapon was manufactured within the state's borders and does not leave the state. I'm getting that warm tingly feeling!

Eh, while it would be awesome to see this happen it would be no different than weed being "legal" in CA, WA, CO, etc. The feds can still march in and fuck your day up. Yep, marching into a state where every red neck pecker wood hillbilly between Iowa and Arkansas, from Illinois to Kansas and Oklahoma is armed with full-auto weapons is bound to fuck up someone's day. Central Missouri Machine Gun I suspect there would be an ever greater back order situation ... |

In that case, CMMG is going to be having several new markets to expand into.

Nice!! MO is trying to keep up with KS  Hey we had CCW and NFA before you . But now that you got Brownback and some decent legislators in office you guys are now leading the way. If we could just get rid of Nixon we would be much better off.!This. |

The Republican strategy is to force a vote on legislation to get the Democrats on record. Last I heard there was a plan to let Rory Ellinger's (may a thousand parasites infest that commie) anti gun bill get to the floor for the same reason.
On the other hand, I'd love to see this one hit the governor's desk. He'll be in a bind if the political wind says the legislature intends to pass it over a veto, and he sure as hell won't sign such a bill. Ellinger's Bill, HR 545 |

I've been to Lake of the Ozarks a few times, seems like a nice place.  Lake of the Ozarks is a filthy shit-hole. No, really, they closed parts of it down a few years ago for dangerous levels of fecal bacteria. If you like that, you'll think you'd died and gone to heaven if you get down to Bull Shoals or Table Rock. |

Since we're all about a thread with good news, there's this - Teachers at school near West Plains are carrying concealed firearms Teachers at Fairview Elementary attended a training program and got approval from the school board. |

It'd be quite the showdown when the Feds go in there and say, "Um..... No, you're not going to be buying those current production full autos..." |

I remember an amputee stripper and an old man that drove a mini van as a taxi. 
I have heard that Table Rock is awesome. |
