Play MO and KS proposed gun laws- Fact or Fiction
Let’s play a fun game called Kansas and Missouri Proposed Gun Legislation - Fact or Fiction
Coming from the great state of Kansas, we have HB 2199 will have that federal agents that attempt to confiscate guns manufactured in the state of Kansas could be prosecuted and face PRISON time.
A bill proposed in Missouri has anyone representative who votes in favor of gun control legislation could face prison time of up to four years in jail.
A bill in Missouri and Kansas that makes it a requirement that all girls 12 and younger own a shoot ‘em up Barbie and side kick assault weapon Skipper.
Let’s score this quiz.
Fact and the estimate of this baby to defend it in court $825,000 of Kansas taxpayer cash that we evidently have oodles of in Kansas.
Fact. Next up in Missouri - bills that would make discussing if Santa is real illegal. The follow-up to that bill are more bills on the tooth fairy and unicorns.
Fiction. I had to throw one in to make this game hard.
So thanks to Kansas and Missouri, I’m book ended by crazy.
Let’s start with the Kansas law. Kansas feels that any restrictions on the 2nd amendment will be unconstitutional. So we are going to threaten imprisonment of federal agents if they decide to enforce them. They do this by saying that any guns manufactured in the state of Kansas are excluded from any restrictions on the 2nd amendment.
Hang on federal government, I’ve got the response to this one.
Kansas lawmakers - if you decide to pursue this, I will make the executive decision granted to me by my rights as an official blog writer to revoke the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. That means you are on your own when it comes to combating drug crimes and gangs. Your biggest fears have come true. Kansas will become even more of a home base for funneling drugs into the US and gangs will own this great land of Oz. Also, no response from the National Guard - so all that snow that’s coming or possible tornadoes in the spring that may require federal assistance - sorry Charlie. No more FBI to solve crime. Also, in the long-shot category, if a foreign enemy decides to strike, hope those Kansas handguns will serve you well.
You are on your own Kansas. Good luck and God bless!
All of this because of the federal government is trying to REGULATE the 2nd amendment? Not do away with, but regulate. Again to my point that we REGULATE the 1st amendment all the time. Never mind that you are ok putting regulations all over the 1st amendment when it comes to abortion that has been found to be a constitutional right…
Not to get off track.
Missouri - don’t think I forgot about you.
Something I would like to suggest is more anti-bullying legislation.
From stopbullying.gov
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.
Ding! Ding!
If you just change out school aged children and put in Missouri lawmakers, I think we have a match! I would say that threatening to put someone in prison qualifies as exclusion. Instead of introducing laws putting lawmakers in jail, might I suggest expanding on the state-wide anti-bullying definition to include state representatives?
Kansas and Missouri - since I basically straddle the state line, could you please go more than a week and not introduce legislation that embarrasses the hell out of me? Even if you could just avoid making national news where the journalists don’t roll their eyes or sigh heavily when reading the story that would be a huge start.

Only the laws the star agrees with I guess our worth enforcing…. Must be one of those smart lib things again….

2 months, 3 weeks agoThis would have been worth reading if any of these proposals had been anything more than go-nowhere proposals by tiny if not single caucuses that are then demagogued to death by blogger-trolls who want to make something out of them that they are not, which is any part of a real policy discussion.
As it is we are stuck reading this lunacy because the author wants to use this isolated lunacy as a bludgeon against anyone who doesn’t march lock-step with her views. Yep, that ought to be helpful in solving the problem.

If only it were, but we have legislators so incredibly ignorant as to believe that this is a good use of their time. Not exactly problem solvers are they? These guys get elected yet they’re not held accountable. I cannot believe that the people who voted for them actually understood that this is what they were voting for… and if they did… I guess you get what you deserve.

2 months, 3 weeks agoAnd he it is ridiculously isolated. Individual legislators making legislative suggestions that go nowhere, but yet here we are prattling on about them like they matter.
You point back to isolation, then don’t address that they are isolated moments that go nowhere.
A few years ago a state legislator in Minnesota suggested spending millions of dollars a year to keep Brad Radke, a pitcher for the twins, in Minneapolis. Guess which party that person belonged to and guess how far it got? It says nothing except that that individual lawmaker was a fool. So what does that have to do with the big picture unless you are a demagogic tool trying to make a point where none exists to further your own end?
