2nd Amendment rights are protected in Missouri...The worst mass shootings happen in no-carry zones.

A gun in your trunk won`t offer much protection. If you want to protect yourself conceal/carry is the way to go

I believe that evil is everywhere. Everyone deserves the right to be protected, even all students. Guns are just tools, it's the person behind the tool that determines how it is used!

Illegal guns are already there. Why shouldn't legal ones be there too?

By no means am I a gun advocate, but I do think having one in your vehicle is ok. Especially in Columbia. That place is fast becoming a toilet full of scum.

I support the 2nd amendment. Also Missouri is a constitutional carry state. It has been proven time and time again that where the law abiding public are allowed to legally carry guns then violent criminal activity is significantly reduced. Criminals say gun control makes it easier to commit crime

I feel college age adults, especially males, are still struggling with their critical thinking skills in relation to their emotions. College students have many stresses, personal and college coursework. Guns do not provide protection, they increase the likely hood of gun violence

Having that easy of access to guns doesn't give people time to calm down before reacting to situations.

My son-in-law works on campus as a teacher. He should not have to worry about whether he comes home to my daughter at the end of a work day. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to bring a gun to a school campus. Period.

Does that include policemen? I know the criminals never have guns. That would be illegal.

Are you referring to the people who shoot up the City of Columbia nearly every night, or the honest people who are legally carrying firearms for protection?

Are you optimistic about the economy heading into 2026?

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
