Mo. House panel backs bill nullifying gun regs

Tuesday, February 26, 2013

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Enforcing new federal gun regulations could send Missouri officers to prison under a bill endorsed by a Missouri House committee.

The committee voted 9-5 on Tuesday to advance the bill that would criminalize the enforcement of federal gun control laws enacted after Jan. 1 of this year. The vote was along party lines with Republicans supporting the bill and Democrats in opposition.

The panel also advanced a bill barring federal regulation of guns that are manufactured in Missouri and remain inside the state’s borders.

Committee Democrats tried to amend both measures to require that guns be securely stored when they’re not in use. That effort failed.

Both measures now head to the House Rules Committee for further consideration.

Divided down party lines. But the Democrats "Don't want to take your guns".

Except for the ones they can get and then legislate the others to the point they won't do you any good when you need them.

Oh but it's the Republican's that want to tell people how to live?
