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

Agreed, I hope this is just a step in the right direction

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?

We should not rely on other jails to take care of our problems. We have a responsibility to provide the proper facilities to our superhero police force

That will be an average cost, to every single person of Boone county, of $197 per year, for 20 years. $3920. What a deal.

I would support a 10-year tax for a bond issue to build the new jail, not a new forever sales tax.

The comment that I made indicating a total average cost, does not account for inflationary changes, which will probably more than double my $3920 estimate.

We've more than enough incarceration in this county, state, and nation, and it's frankly not helping.

The high crime problem is because the courts fail to punish the offenders hard enough to deter crime.

The need for a new jail isn’t new. County leaders have known for years it needed attention. Maybe the sheriff should’ve prioritized a jail before a multi-million dollar training facility. His budget priorities is his attempt at railroading the city’s public safety staffing and infrastructure needs.

I'd rather we put more money to schools to prevent there from being so many people in jail in the first place. If we fund our schools and the education system, there would be less people in jail. If we funded mental health services- there would be less people committing crimes

The crime problem is a result of the catch and release problem. Too, many people are not afraid to commit crimes.

Thinking like this is why the city of Columbia is short 50 police officers.
