Audrey Schlote: Awesome! Thanks.
Allyn Harris Dault: I’d be ok with a special exemption for Dale and Dave ONLY. 🙂
Dave & Dale Steinberg: Thank you!
Mary Gross: You need to be calling your Mo lawmakers to oppose the second amendment preservation act SB 39 HB 85, and the Guns everywhere HB 86. I talked with several house Dem reps last week and they could not emphasize enough how important it is to hear from constituents. Please call or email.
Grace James: Under that 2nd amendment bill businesses/grocery stores, department stores/churches would not have the right to prohibit guns in their buildings?
Mary Gross: No The SAPA nullifies federal gun laws in MO and prohibits local & state law enforcement from enforcing or assisting in enforcing federal gun laws in MO. Local law enforcement cannot assist federal agents in enforcing federal gun laws.
Florence Terry Pullen: Please join Creve Coeur and Maryland Heights Township Clubs meeting. March 15 at 7:00 PM. Mayor Ella M. Jones speaker.
Cathy Marek: All of this is so depressing that it is overwhelming at times. What is the best way to be active in opposing these awful bills in a more targeted way. It’s almost impossible to respond to all of these awful bills!
Mary Gross: If you want more detail and hear about calls to action for proposed gun laws, (and there are some good ones) please come to our Moms Demand Action meeting tonight. Register here: https://act.everytown.org/event/moms-demand-action-event/40311/signup/?akid=&source=mdmo_event-search
