I am glad they did something good for all of us.


JEFFERSON CITY, MO. (AP) -- Missouri students could use food, pencils or their hands to imitate a gun without penalty under legislation endorsed by the state House.

The bill advanced Wednesday would shield students from discipline of fines for "simulating a weapon while playing."

Sponsoring Republican Rep. Mike Kelley, of Lamar, says he was motivated by the Maryland case of a Baltimore second-grader suspended last year for chewing a Pop-Tart into the shape of a gun.

Opponents say the legislation could allow some students to encourage violence among their peers.

The measure would allow students to be disciplined for causing bodily harm, disrupting a learning environment or creating a serious threat. It needs one more vote before moving to the Senate.

Another Jefferson City fail. Oh well at least they aren't spending their time trying to pass legislation that would lower the standard of living for working class people. Oops they did that this week too!

What is bad about this bill? I agree with you that the Mo legislature has it in for the middle class.

It's sad that something like this bill actually needs to be passed, isn't it?

Guns are fine, but I have a feeling the legislature would be less generous to the kids if they were simulating medicaid expansion.
