Not good! The bad guys win.

[setter]

This will set a precedent.

[SkyDancer]

In that state you are no longer allowed to protect your property and/or yourself?

[ryderann]

I hope they’re getting ready to move out of there.

Neither will face jail-time, but will have to pay a collective fine of $2,750 and forfeit their guns to be destroyed.

One gun was worthless, not sure about the other. Granted he's an attorney but he probably also hired one and could spend tens of thousands and if convicted of a felony would not be able to buy another gun.

They did what most people would do, not bankrupt themselves fighting city hall. Our Government and most judges are corrupt, you don't want to find yourself in this scenario and they know it.

Not necessarily so. Governor Parsons has promised a pardon. Missouri law does not allow a pardon until the case is decided. It is now been decided.

Just...WOW!

This is so wrong!

[Semper Vigilantis]

Pled guilty to misdemeanors and their weapons will be destroyed.
Considering what they were up against not being disbarred and retaining their right to possess firearms may have been the best they could hope for.....?

[colorado tanker]

They’re only pleading to misdemeanors to get rid of the felony charges. No jail, fine only.

It was probably that or be litigated into bankruptcy.

Pardon coming??

He’s running for Senate. Swapped out his pink shirt for flannel and poses in front of or sits on a John Deere tractor even though he probably doesn’t know a thing about them.

yep

[Mad Dawg]

He’s running for office.

[White Lives Matter]

I know but why force them to forfeit the guns?

[ßuddaßudd]

can he buy another gun in the future ?

[DoodleDawg]

I hope they’re getting ready to move out of there.

He's running for senator so I think they're staying.

[DoodleDawg]

Pardon coming??

We'll see. Parson said he would.

[Magnum44]

why force them to forfeit the guns?

I have the same question

[DoodleDawg]

can he buy another gun in the future ?

Yes.
