Open to arguments from those that said the left doesn't want to confiscate...

quote:

Yesterday, state Representatives Rory Ellinger (D-86) and Jill Schupp (D-88) introduced House Bill 545, anti-gun legislation that would turn many law-abiding gun owners into felons. HB 545 would ban the possession, sale, transfer or manufacture of certain semi-automatic rifles and magazines that are capable of holding more than ten rounds.

HB 545 contains no grandfather clauses. Therefore, under HB 545, if you are currently in possession of the semi-automatic rifles and magazines outlined in this bill, you will have 90 days from the effective date of this legislation to surrender, destroy or remove these currently lawful items from Missouri. If you fail to do so, you could be charged with a Class C felony if this legislation is passed and enacted into law.


LINK

4. Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was legally in possession of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution:

(1) Remove the assault weapon or large capacity magazine from the state of Missouri;

(2) Render the assault weapon permanently inoperable; or

(3) Surrender the assault weapon or large capacity magazine to the appropriate law enforcement agency for destruction, subject to specific agency regulations.

5. Unlawful manufacture, import, possession, purchase, sale, or transfer of an assault weapon or a large capacity magazine is a class C felony.

Something tells me this kind of thing will be even less popular in Missouri than in Connecticut.

And it's pretty damn unpopular in CT.

MO has more than a few good ole boys / rednecks who aren't gonna comply.

No way it passes, but CT got the ball rolling. And now others are feeling more emboldened by it and attempting it. It shouldn't even be breathed in the halls of any legislature, but here it is, and it will continue more and more. The left won't stop.

Hell, my pos 22 rifle meets those standards because of magazine capacity. I believe my 9mm pistol exceeds that capacity also.

I'm not normally the type to just say "Let us hope and pray" but I can make an exception this time.

The law enforcement agencies are really going to destroy these firearms?

Are you here to tell us that no one has ever wanted to ban shotguns?
