If they did what they think it will sure, but it won't. It will cost money and prevent nothing. Growing government is bad mmmkay.

John Deakins

Will not change anything, a waste of taxpayer money. How long have we tried to prevent spousal abuse with counseling, arrests, etc and it does not stop.

Steve Baumann

We need less government. It's not working, it's not the answer. Defund the bureaucracy, not the police

Bill Douglas

The state needs a program to prevent UM engineering school techno-nerd graduates from getting jobs synchronizing stoplights and designing things like roundabouts etc And keep their flag burning anti-American “new innovative road designs” out of Republican counties in Missouri. LOCK THEM UP!!

Columbia has a Police Department. If the prosecutor and the courts supported them, crime would decrease a great deal.

Rights need to be coupled with a responsibility to everyone in a community.

its called the 2nd Amendment to the CONSTITUTION

Mary M

It goes against our 2nd amendment rights. And it is a very small portion of legal gun owners use it on others. Most or all that use it on others are because of mental illness, which is where more help is needed rather than taking away people's rights.

BOB RADA

The crazy left do-gooders have no more common sense than the snowflakes running our country. Guns are not the problem. The far left is.

Rick Allen

No it is backwards. It will create major problems for police to initiate, it will not stop any gun violence. It is pro criminal and against honest citizens. Criminals and crazy kids will not obey any gun laws. Gun free zones are in realty a target rich environment. We need more concealed carry.

Chad Hodges

I say no to this because the gun are not the issue. It's the folks that are able to get them. There's gotta be another way to get control something like stronger fredral background checks if we let the federal government get full control of us having guns we won't have guns at all. So let's vote

Latterdaysaint

It's unconstitutional, more security not gun control

Mark Mueller

It is a violation of our 2nd Amendment Rights.

Kimmy Wasatch

Not only is it against our rights but guns are not the problem. The left liberals that defunded police, allowed riots, decriminalized drugs, do not hold criminals accountable are the problem. Until those responsible are voted out of office, nothing will change.
