Missouri Bill Would Make It Illegal to Propose Gun Control Laws

By Sheila Samples

A pro-gun Missouri Republican, State Rep. Mike Leara, is working to make it illegal for state lawmakers to so much as propose any sort of legislation dealing with firearm safety regulations.

One slight problem for Leara, however, is that it appears the bill would violate the state's constitution.
