Missouri Democrats in the state House have proposed a bill that would force gun owners to either surrender or destroy firearms including semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines and semi-automatic pistols with fixed magazines that can shoot more than 10 rounds before being reloaded.
Ammunition-feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds also would be banned. Owners also could send their weapons to another state instead of surrendering or destroying them. Man that’s a relief! The innane idea is here…

As a lifelong birder, it’s easy to be misunderstood in the outdoors, while in mixed company. Immediately following a blank stare into surrounding nothingness in the middle of an otherwise sane conversation, it goes like this: “Wait! A red-bellied woodpecker!” Response: “Huh? Where? I don’t see anything.”
While the uninitiated remains confused, I’ll concentrate on a distant bird call, ever vigilant for a glimpse of movement. “See. Over there. Looks like a male. Sorry. What were we talking about?”
Just last week it happened again, but at least this time I was alone. Normally we see migratory birds returning to our area the first part of March, give or take a few weeks. But, this familiar call sounded like a belted kingfisher. No, it couldn’t be. It’s way too early. So, I blew it off, thinking to myself maybe I was hearing things and went about my business.

You may have heard who police are supporting more gun control measures, as proposed by Obama. But, what we fail to see presented by the national media is that only certain sheriffs support gun control – appointed sheriffs, that is. You see, those that have been appointed fear reprisals, if they don’t follow in the footsteps of gun-grabbing superiors. On the other hand, law enforcement officials, who have been elected to office, hold another view and understand what “…shall not be infringed” actually means. Accordingly, they are standing tall in the face of more federal mandates. Montana is one such state and a “sheriffs first” bill has been introduced.
The so-called “sheriffs first” bill would require federal agents to get a sheriff’s permission before making arrests or serving warrants – or risk local kidnapping or trespassing charges. The details are here…
GW: I guess they’d rather people use full metal jacket bullets for everything. I wonder if they’ve ever heard of the dangers of over-penetration – as in through attackers and then walls. This type of legislation demonstrates, once again, how little gun grabbers understand ballistics and the subsequent and unintentional consequences of their dumb ideas. Of course, innocents will be killed with richochets, as well, because of the inherent dangers of non-expanding ammo. But, as long as they can “save one life” it doesn’t matter how many they sacrifice in the process.
The bill draft that provides whoever intentionally sells, transports or possesses any bullet that expands or flattens easily in the human body is guilty of a Class H felony. This bill would outlaw 99% of all self-defense ammunition on the market, including most hunting ammunition. Read what the whack jobs have cooked up here…
