Bring it to the floor immediately and demand every one of them go on record as for or against.
Missouri has already fought in one Civil War. Guess if the politicians want to start a second one, now is as good a time as any.
All elected officials must submit to yearly audits.
Any politician whose net worth increases by more than the inflation rate while in office goes to prison.

In response, Missouri gun owners should give Democrats 90 days to leave the state.
Missouri gun-owners: FMCDH!
ALWAYS!
It is time to fight fire with fire people! Parallel escalation; They want to make large numbers of conservatives into felons with a stroke of a pen by making certain guns owned mostly by conservatives illegal.
Think this this through. They want to make us criminals by making what we value illegal.
WE HAVE TO COUNTER. We have to answer with legislation introduced into Congress and every state legislature making abortion the equal to murder, and anyone who contributes to it a felon.
They want to make me a felon with a stroke of a pen? Fine, lets dance!
If there were any men in MO, they’d demand that those voting for this theft of their Second Amendment rights resign their seats. They lied when they swore to “uphold the Constitution.”
In no way, shape or form, do these actions reflect the words in your oath of office, i.e., “protect and defend the Constitution”, therefore, my answer is:
“I Refuse!”
If such a bill were ever to be signed into law, I suggest all owners of the firearms in question coordinate their turn-in by massing at the state capitol on the same day with their weapons. Of course, since they will no longer have these weapons they should bring along all their no longer needed ammo and magazines to turn in as well. To maintain order, I suggest they mass in a circle around the capitol. Then, to assure they are in compliance, they should call out the governor and the bills sponsors and all legislators who voted for it so the exchange can take place most effectively. Then I suggest an exchange take place.
Missouri is the wrong state to try this kind of measure on. I’ve lived here more than 15 years. There are more libertarians here than I have seen in any state. I had a plumber bring his gun case to my house because he wanted to brag about his guns. Showed me various pistols, rifles, an AK-47, AR-15, and a MAC-10.
They were a hobby for him and he just liked taking them to the range. This guy was very nice and honest, but he would easily be in the group that you would only get their guns when you pry them from his cold dead fingers. Now imagine the “not so nice” folks in MO. Yah, never gonna happen.
So much for Democrats and the constitution.
