A friend pointed this out to me today.. it was found in the Kansas City Star and was also shown on Fox 4 news in Kansas City. If you live in Missouri.. this is especially for you.
Weapons Proposal
The sale or possession of assault weapons would be illegal in Missouri under legislation filed Friday by Sen. Harry Wiggins of Kansas City.
"It is clearly time to institute a statewide ban on these vicious engines of destruction." Wiggins said in a prepared statement. The Democrat hopes his measure will be debated during the 2000 legislative session, which begins in January.
Wiggins' proposed ban would cover automatic and semiautomatic weapons. Missourians who owned the weapons before August 2000 could keep them if they obtained a certificate of possession from the Department of Safety by August 2001. After that, assault weapons could be only sold to military and law enforcement officials.
Three states have similar laws, Wiggins said, and his measure is modeled after a law in Connecticut.
Guys.... this is serious crap... Other states are following the lead of CA. I never thought this could happen to Missouri.. our state is a relatively pro gun state. But even then... it does not matter. If you are from Missouri and reading this.... I hope to hell you help me and others take on this fight and strike it down before it becomes too big for us to handle. If you havent joined Missouri CAN.. please consider it.. its a way we can help each other fight against these unconstitutional laws.
