[Missouri Governor] Holden vetoes House concealed gun measure

The veto comes just two days after Jonathon Russell walked into the Jefferson City plant where he worked and began shooting, killing three people and wounding five others. He later killed himself.

Isn't it amazing how these sorry nutbags crawl out of the woodwork at the most opportune moments for the gun-grabbers?

For your list, Joe. I hope he gets his veto handed back to him with an override.

On to the override vote in the fall. And its time for Missourians to work to make Bob Holden a one term governor.

Holden is not liked much at all in Missouri. He may face a challenger in the next primary.

"What we've seen from other places is that it is more likely that someone will be injured either in anger or by accidental discharge by having more small weapons available than the unlikely event that crime will be deterred,'' said Vicky Riback Wilson, D-Columbia.

Count the number of things that are just flat-out untrue in the above-referenced statement...

[goldstategop]

If a CCW law was in place, this dirtbag would have been stopped cold before three innocent people were killed. But for liberals like Holden, its not Jonathan Russell the murderer's fault, its all those pesky law abiding gun owners who want only to defend themselves from the likes of him. How dare they!

[goldstategop]

Liberals just lie. And when you catch them in an untrue statement they will keep on lying.

When are these NUTS going to wake up to the fact that the places with the tightest gun laws have the most crime. Oh excuse me, I thought I was refering to people to whom facts make a difference. Another senior moment!!!

I can't count that high! LOL!

I hope the lawmakers stuff this veto up "One term Bob's" backside.

Tell that to the families of Jonathon Russell's victims, "Vicky." Start with the survivors of the ones he killed.

One-Term-Bob......Bump!

Good God Almighty - I grew up in Missouri. Everyone had guns. It's infuriating when the "powers that be" try to CONTROL us. When I was a kid, we NEVER locked our doors; there was no crime; and as I said everyone had guns. Missouri has gone to the dogs. Missouri folks should be marching in the streets over this, demanding their gun rights. Sheeeeeesh.

My bet is OTB and his cronies were doing high-fives all around when they heard the news.

"lack of an adequate database to make sure the mentally ill can't get weapons."

What about the ability of mentally deficient people to hold elective office?

A few years ago Neal Knox wrote about this very phenomena. You can count on many shootings happening this next year right before the so-called assault weapons ban is about to sunset. Truth is stranger than fiction.

it does seem like a pattern
