Sadly, it helps keep kids safer & needed in this day & age.

Jeanette Johnson

Hell yes they do!! How many more is going to die?? I still believe that resource officer in Florida needed to be charged with murder as well as those cops didn't do one thing to help those 2 teachers and those students in Uvalde Texas They are as guilty as the one that pulled the trigger

The schools also need trained and qualified security, with sufficient firepower, on campus at all times.

This costly measure would give schools and families a sense of security--as have other $$ measures. But it likely won't keep kids any safer from (exceedingly rare) gun violence on campus.

Max DeYoung

Two months ago, you posted, "Missouri is at THE BOTTOM for education spending, for our horrifying gun violence, and in so many other urgent areas our lawmakers should be addressing. The actual gun violence frequency is low, however our children are priceless. They deserve protection from criminals.

They are trying to take away our Constitutional right to vote regardless of being a criminal or not that is our right

Latterdaysaint

Not a good idea

Amanda

So, felons should be able to own guns too? After all, that's a constitutional right as well. Try serving your sentence first.

Kristine Dallas

Just because you're incarcerated they're still citizens of the United States and we should not take that away from them constitutionally

This is about the stupidest law I have ever seen Liberal Democrats come up with. Just another way for Democrats to continue destroying Oregon. It's all about gaining more Democratic voters. Shame on all of you.

Kristine Dallas

Regardless of your criminal status you're taking away the constitutional right of civilians and that's not okay they have the right to vote regardless

Ross Poldark

The government wants to take away many of the freedoms and rights of law abiding citizens, and now they want to give criminals the right to Vote. This says a lot about the lack of moral compass and lack of integrity In our government.

Debra Sun-Mills

Absolutely no. They lost their rights when they committed a crime. This is just another stupid politically motivated law.

Tanya nogales

Prisoners should not have the right to vote. They already had made a bad choice in life. We are already facing state and government problems without their vote. I dont need any criminal choosing whats best for us and our children.

Amanda

Absolutely not! They lost that right when they broke the law. Plus, I'm pretty sure their voting rights are restored after they serve their sentence.

Terree Putman

They are incarcerated & should NOT BE ALLOWED WHILE THEY ARE ON THE INSIDE. A dumb ideal!! They can vote when They are out and a part of society.

Ron Deems

One of the consequences of being a scourge of society is you loose your right to vote. Keep it that way.

Dave

Have you got some sort oof vendetta going here Mr. Daniels? Give it a break.

SunnySunshinestein

Only after they've completed their jail sentence and paid all fines and/or restitution.

Rick Allen

Of course not, that is absurd. Criminals, illegal aliens, non citizens, thats bizarre nonsense. The leftest D A s are letting dangerous criminal back on the streets before their trials, this is insane, and twisted. A criminal waives those rights when committing a crime, period!

Mark Mueller

When a person commits a felony they have demonstrated that they cannot function in a civil society and therefore forfeit their right to vote. This looks like another Democrat attempt to harvest votes.

Deb Kizer Dyck

Criminals have lost that privilege! It's outrageous to consider giving that back to them. We need proper law-abiding citizens to help guide this country, not criminals!

Latterdaysaint

Voting is a privilege; a privilege properly exercised at the voting booth, not from a prison cell. States have a significant interest in reserving the vote for those who have abided by the social contract that forms the foundation of a representative democracy. We are talking about rapists, murderer

Latterdaysaint

I'm also, btw he is not my daddy
