And now, the latest in our occasional rundowns of some of the more unusual bills that state lawmakers currently have on their docket, including, in Missouri, a creative attempt at opposing gun control:Rico says that is creative, if futile...
Firearm-related bills are popping up all over the country like targets at a shooting range. Some would allow school janitors to carry weapons, while others would ban private gun sales. But only in the Show-Me State has a lawmaker proposed a bill that would criminalize the proposal of gun-control bills. The plan from Republican State Representative Mike Leara “specifies that any member of the General Assembly who proposes legislation that further restricts an individual’s right to bear arms will be guilty of a class D felony.” Leara has told reporters that he’s not optimistic about passage, but he feels the bill sums up his position on Second Amendment rights.
