The socialist form of government is getting ready to be crammed down our throats, there are shortages of goods and services, gun laws are some of the first things being talked about in the Biden regime, Biden the unifier is undoing everything that his predecessor accomplished, and alienating us.

I believe in our constitution. Our rights are violated on a regular basis. If the people don't act, we'll all be subjected to socialism/communism!

Missourians have a right to guns and the federal government should not get to override state laws

It states clearly shall not be infringed. Any law they create to restrict ownership of arms of any kind is an infringement of the 2nd amendment no if and or buts about it. there are no loop holes in the constitution for creating laws that restrict your ability to own any you desire

I feel that if the 2nd amendment is judged and limited, we will go down the path the 1st has- we are judging what speech is and is not okay in public forums, large media is allowed to silence what they don't like, etc. Stop and reflect on how you feel about any and all freedoms. What will be next?

If the federal government can't be depended upon to preserve constitutional rights, then let that responsibility fall upon the states.

I can literally go get an illegal gun on ten minutes if I wanted to. People have a right to legally defends themselves. Criminals don't care about your prohibition laws.

because federal gun laws and the creation of the ATF were/are direct violations of the spirit and letter of the law stated in the second amendment. To also include infringing on states rights which the federal government has systematically eroded since the conclusion of the civil war.

Quick, severe punishment except for those protecting their life, property, and that of innocent bystanders, while using a legally obtained/owned firearm.

States have sovereign rights and able to make the laws that fit our communities. Citizens of CA, MA, NY, etc should not dictate what laws Missourians live by. Disarming law abiding citizens or making law-abiding citizens whom are not able to pay the federal tax rates bend to the favor of the elite.

Gun ownership is given in the constitution and it should not be infringed upon. You should take away the illegal guns from felons before you take away my rights. They lost their rights when they became felons.

Logic and common decency in keeping our community safe. Enough innocent children have died. Selfishness and ignorance dictate the foolish ban of this law. These ridiculous actions are an embarrassment.

No civilian should needs weapons that are designed to kill people. They should be outlawed everywhere. Missouri is no exception.

There is a reason for laws that are put in place by the federal government and the state shouldn't block those laws

I believe with all my heart that Columbia residents should donate their entire paychecks to the City. If the City had ALL of the money, it would solve ALL of the problems.

They want to raise taxes because the “sales taxes are less than expected”. Could this be due to Columbia’s citizens not shopping downtown, etc. as they do not. Want to deal with addicts, vagrants and panhandlers. Lower revenues are due to administrators poor policies and other choices ie..plan fine

Get rid of the unnecessary positions created the past 3 years! The answer is to reduce the size of government, NOT raise taxes! Columbia's sales tax rate is already too high. Continue letting crime and homelessness flourish, raise taxes, and people will leave the city,

Why not cut the city official salaries by a few thousand dollars each to help make up some of the money that the city is looking for? But I doubt a single city official would be willing to do that even though most of them live better than the rest of the city.

If you are alive, there is no such thing as too many taxes. EVEN when you are unalive, you are taxed.
