From the linked article:

-----------------------------------------

Missouri Democrats introduced an anti-gun bill which would turn law-abiding firearm owners into criminals. They will have 90 days to turn in their guns if the legislation is passed.
Here’s part of the Democratic proposal in Missouri:
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.

------------------------------------------------

Repeat over and over to yourself:

You stupid gun owners, nobody is coming after your guns.
You stupid gun owners, nobody is coming after your guns.
You stupid gun owners, nobody is coming after your guns.
You stupid gun owners, nobody is coming after your guns.
You stupid gun owners, nobody is coming after your guns.
You stupid gun owners, nobody is coming after your guns.
You stupid gun owners, nobody is coming after your guns.
You stupid gun owners, nobody is coming after your guns.

Actually this might ultimately be a good thing, once it passes.

All the paranoid gun-haters will move to Missouri where they think they will be safe, and leave the rest of us alone.

At the same time, all the muggers, rapists, murderers, home invaders, and gangbangers will also move there, where the pickings will be a lot easier, and leave the rest of us alone. You didn't think they would worry about breaking one more law, did you?

A win-win situation.

For everybody except Missouri residents.

And they voted for it.

Read any one of the 431 threads on this forum that already address your question. Or just continue to be the self-righteous person that you are. You never wanted an actual answer. You just wanted to make your stupid, simplistic, superior, self-righteous point. You made it. Now go somewhere.

It won't make it to the floor let alone to a ballot.

It's funny how a blog article reporting on an issue with very little context can cause such a hissy fit. It's today's journalistic concept, throw it and see if it sticks.

More often than you think. Over here where I live, multiple bad guys invading home is almost a daily event. I am sure your place isn't much better. They are so common that they don't even make to the news anymore, which is why you "haven't heard."

Besides, if you don't see the need, don't buy one.

I forgot, there's no assault weapon per se.

Syria. Malaysia. China. Germany 1941. Because history repeats itself, again and again and again. The current situation in the United States may not look the way it does in 15, 20, 50 years from now. Because those weapons are a deterrent, and just how multiple countries with nuclear weapons prevented nuclear war via mutually assured destruction (MAD), the US citizens having military grade weapons will prevent the US government from ever committing those types of crimes against their own people.

Open up your history books, and leave your emotional garbage at the door. I'm tired of you anti-gun idiots.

Personally, I use mine for hunting pigs on my place... It's the ideal weapon against them... Of coarse not being a gun owner the use of a so called assault weapon for anything other than violence would escape you completely...

why do you hate the constitution ?

why do you hate law abiding citizens ?

personally, I think the 19th Amendment has done more damage to this country than the 2nd ever can.

lets repeal the 19th. we'll use you for an example as to why...
