A proposed state law in Missouri would make it a crime for parents or guardians not to tell school officials if they have guns in their home. Parents could also be prosecuted for gun crimes committed by their children under the same law even if the crimes were committed with a legal weapon. If passed into law Missouri State Senate Bill 549 could slap parents with a $100 fine if they didn’t tell their children’s school about their gun. This is the second time State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal (D-Jefferson City) has introduced the legislation. The same law was introduced last year as Senate Bill 124 but it never got anywhere. She introduced the newest version in December. “I am not trying to take away the gun rights of any parents or any other citizens. I believe in the Second Amendment,” Chappelle-Nadal told a St. Louis TV station when the bill previously was introduced. The senator said she was trying to stop school violence and crimes like carjacking. - See more at: http://gunsnfreedom.com/missouri-la...chools-if-they-own-guns/#sthash.32c4TJL5.dpuf

It's disappointing that things like this keep getting brought to the floor. I'm certain this won't get any farther than the last time but it's still a waste of time.
 
Of what possible educational benefit could this be? How could school officials possibly use this information?

Hmm, lets see...they could use it to keep a closer eye on your kids, because, obviously, if you tell them you have a gun at home, your kids are a greater risk to the student body than the children of someone who does not have a gun at home, right?

Isn't that some kind of "profiling"?

They could "lose" the information (have it stolen), giving the thief (or more likely whom ever he sells the info to) a nice list of the gun owners in your school district...

There are several potential things they could do with that information, NONE of them having anything to do with your child's education.

And to propose a law, with a fine if you don't inform the school? This bill should go nowhere, and neither should its sponsor in the next election. IMHO.
 
The anti-gunners never cease to surprise me with the ways they come up with to "not take anyone's gun rights away." You just have to inform the school, so that the next time your child falls down and gets a bump on his noggin, they can report it to Child Services who, armed with the knowledge that you have firearms in the house, can get the Sheriff to assist in storming your house . . . .

Seriously, mandatory reporting to the school that I have firearms? How well does she really expect that to go over in rural Missouri?
 
This has zero chance of passing the legislature. Further letting stuff like this get voted on isnt necessarily a bad thing because it lets us know where elected officials stand.
 
Do these bills have any cosponsors? What is the sponsor's track record for successful legislation?

I couldn't see something like this passing in New York, much less Missouri. There are several major pitfalls to implementation alone that would kill such a bill.
 
@44 amp - now that I reread my post, I can see where omitted the very important modifier legitimately before the word "use".

Obviously there are any number of nefarious things school administrators can misuse/abuse this information, both against the child of gun owning parents and the parents themselves. There simply is no legitimate reason for them to even ask for this information, let alone possess it.

Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal (D-Jefferson City) is not exactly a mover and shaker nor widely quoted nor influential in the State.
