Seriously? You're comparing checking a carry conceal permit to the murdering of millions of Jewish people? Wow!!!

Max DeYoung

Of the nearly 21 million slaughtered, only six million were Jewish.

Max DeYoung

They were disarmed then slaughtered. It won't happen here.

Max DeYoung

They were disarmed so they could be herded into boxcars to be slaughtered. Less than 1/3rd of the murdered were Jews. Many were homosexuals, and a huge variety of other religions and professions, including handicapped, aged and retarded, but anyone who had sixth grade history knows that.

How I read it, the FBI is just checking records to make sure concealed gun holders records are accurate. They're not taking anyone's guns. I guess unless they don't have a permit. If I'm reading into this wrong, please politely correct me as this area is new to me

Adam

I thought KMIZ was supposed to get rid of douche bags like you that all you do is bully others and can't just be part of a conversation?

Max DeYoung

Many people from Germany and other European nations said the same thing before the various major genocides carried out by the Nazis and the numbers likely murdered: 20,946,000 Victims: Nazi Germany 1933 To 1945

Something funny?

Max DeYoung

Would it be okay if the FBI checked your medical records to make sure your doctor is in compliance with the law?

Max DeYoung

Barry Soetero politicalized the FBI, and the FBI has no right or authority to interfere with state laws. Todays Federal government cannot be trusted. In Missouri, and many other states, it's not required to have a permit to conceal and carry. It's called government overreach, and it's illegal.

Privacy concerns and government over reach!

Federal Gov. would like too take firearms away from law abiding citizens.

Max DeYoung

The Second Amendment gives citizens the Right to own and Bear Arms. The FBI has no right to interfere, in any way, shape, or form.

Lisa Howard Glass

The FBI doesn't need a list of people to go to, to disarm.

That's how blue cities work, tax, tax, tax, and tax some more.

Zaos Gonzolez

Tax to the MAX. Tax till you drop, and it still don't stop!

Zaos Gonzolez

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.

This is what Columbia just voted in. Great job!!!!

Debbie Neate

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

Susanna Johnson Kettlewell

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,

Allan German

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.

Zaos Gonzolez

The recorder of deeds salary alone is over $96,000!!!!!!!!!!!! TRULY INSANE. Most of us can never even imagine that amount of money.

Will Mason

Not until after ALL avenues for budget cuts have been explored Taxes are too high already.

Zaos Gonzolez

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