Read the news. Talk to people. Live in the world. These are ways to know that access to guns in America is indeed a public health emergency.

No, the real public health emergency is called the Democrat Party!

The ability to protect yourself from felons is indeed an emergency, it's also guaranteed by our 2nd Amendment.

The Liberals failed with Legislation and courts so now they will try the medical to try and take our guns. Just another dimocrat scheme to try and control us.

Civilian guns are far more often used for defense than offense, according to 3 CDC studies.

Liberals, especially those in the Biden adminstration cabinet positions are so abysmally stupid about what they are talking about, it's embarrassing.

No, how the courts are dealing with criminals is a public health emergency. Catch and release is not the solution.

Nice picture of the scary gun, but it doesn't change why gun violence is increasing. Makes as much sense as declaring a public health emergency on obesity and regulating forks & spoons.

If it was, it's due the the monopoly of violence the government has. THE GOVERNMENT IS THE ROOT OF ALL VIOLENCE. Defund the FED!

Gun violence is not a public health emergency. Letting criminals roam around our community, freely, is a public health emergency.

No it isn't. What the real problem is is Democrats letting thousands of real criminals go unpunished, while using the criminals activities as an excuse to attack the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment.

Alcohol is the problem. Yet it rarely if ever gets talked about. If you want to stop gun violence eliminate alcohol and you're going violence just dropped at least in half.

Your question is way too generic. To a degree that that renders it pointless.

Kehoe is ok, and I mean just ok. Unfortunately, Missouri has now had two weak governors back-to-back.

Is he Tim Waltz level incompetence? No, but with a republican majority, he could do better. Listen to The Eagle every morning and Randy will give you all the details.

He rammed through legislation reversing laws enacted via the ballot box. This LBJ wannabe needs impeached or voted out into obscurity

Allowing gambling on sports, while ACL, relocation and retirement occur in that same instance sounds premeditated. Reversing voter decisions is communist! And, have car dealers started getting their commission on the property tax collections, yet?

Killing the rural public schools. Promoting the St. Louis County private school agenda. Where is the accountability for private schools supported with public money?

Governors tax policies are misguided. Capital Gains and income tax elimination will shift the tax burden to lower and middle income folks. Saying this is to attract new business is a weak argument.

He is screwing over the average Missourian to give himself and other rich people a tax break.

He's continued Missouri's race to the bottom with Texas and Florida when it comes to this culture war bull, his proposition to eliminate income tax is fake populist pandering, in reality it's a rug pull on the poor and a handout for the rich.

His tax plan is a blatant wealth transfer. A sales tax increase disproportionally harms lower income individuals.

Because he hasn't done anything to help people get affordable housing or access to healthcare. He takes money from big companies to build data centers.
