Senate panel hears bill that would allow guns on buses Missouri lawmakers are trying to legalize carrying firearms on public transit.

Kristin Bowen of @momsdemand.bsky.social relied on public transportation for 20 years
“What’s appalling is that you never see people who actually commute on buses and trains come to testify. There’s absolutely no evidence that putting more guns in more public spaces is making anything safer.” #moleg

Why do you oppose the bills moving through the Missouri Legislature? I’m joining survivors, Moms Demand Action, and Students Demand Action to urge Missouri lawmakers to stand up to the gun lobby and block these dangerous gun bills!

Extremist bills like the Second Amendment Preservation Act tie local law enforcement's hands, making us LESS safe.
I’m joining survivors, @momsdemand.bsky.social and @studentsdemand.bsky.social to urge #moleg including Sen. @s-webber.bsky.social to stand up to the gun lobby and block this bad bill.

Thank you @kristinbowencomo.bsky.social for always being available to testify and represent Missouri @momsdemand.bsky.social

On behalf of Missouri @momsdemand.bsky.social, I testified on HB726: Rural, suburban, and urban areas of our state face distinct challenges. Missourians want lawmakers to say NO to forcing a one-size-fits-all approach to public safety that doesn’t address city gun violence and local concerns #moleg

The Missouri House General Laws committee is meeting this evening to hear and vote on several extremist gun bills. Missouri @momsdemand.bsky.social is here to oppose HB 726--a preemption bill.

You can find the livestream of the #moleg hearing here, online: sg001-harmony.sliq.net/00325/Harmon...

In one lobbyist's fundraising recap video, one thing caught my ear as he shared his long list of complaints about the police chiefs who opposed his bill.

Versailles?? 🫣

🧵Yesterday's #moleg Senate hearing for HB1175, a retread of the 2A Preservation Act, was remarkable in a few ways. SAPA's an unconstitutional effort designed to prevent Missouri law enforcement from enforcing federal gun laws that its authors consider “infringements.” /1

So you can take over Greenland and Canada but can’t send a plane to pick up someone you are paying another country to hold for a year? Weird take on sovereignty.

Missouri @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteers drove hours to the capitol knowing the gun lobbyists would be there--filming us, mocking us, calling us "hysterical."
We keep going. We need #moleg to put public safety ahead of politics. We're committed to do what it takes to keep our communities safe.

A longtime Missouri @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteer who traveled from Chesterfield to oppose HB1175 shared our chapter's testimony. We've testified on SAPA many times already this #moleg session. And what Joan shared--how the bill will only hurt, not help, the people of Missouri--was hard to hear.

Today the Missouri Senate's Transportation, Infrastructure, and Public Safety committee is hearing HB 1175--an effort sponsored by extremists to nullify "the Federal
government's power." A retread of the "2nd Amendment Preservation" act to appease lobbyists:

Missouri @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteers are in the capitol today for a Senate hearing on a truly extreme bill--SB 363. We're here to testify against this bill which modifies provisions relating to the use of self-defense--expanding Missouri's Shoot First law. #moleg

Yup.

Missouri @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteers are at the Capitol to testify today against SB23, an extremist revision of SAPA. And excited to see Rep. Gregg Bush from Columbia on our way in! #moleg

Rep. David Tyson Smith of CoMo is absolutely destroying the first bill that is up today concerning expanding firearm access into houses of worship and on public transportation, and is then followed by Rep. Mackey doing the same

The #moleg Transportation, Infrastructure and Public Safety Committee is hearing two similar bills today that aim to take local control away from St. Louis authorities of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police. SB 44 and 52 are a profound threat to the safety and autonomy of Missouri communities.

Kid Rock is dumb as one.

Unhinged posting from the incoming VP

To all of those who have asked, I will not be acknowledging the Inauguration on January 20th.

Sigh. We tried to warn them.

The temperature at noon on Monday will be 22 degrees which is the same temperature it was in 1961 when Kennedy was inaugurated.

The ceremony was held outside.

Can someone ask Zuck which one of these politicians has masculine energy and which one has feminine energy?

I just spit out my tea.

From a FB post. Hey California friends…my friend’s dog sanctuary in Topanga has burned to the ground. 30 dogs looking for fosters ASAP. Please contact me if you can help, even help for a temporary basis it would do so much . Please call or text me on 248 520 0054

Look, it’s a hard time… for so many reasons. Check on your people. (Shut up. I’m turning off replies. Just check on your people. Ask questions.) People are scared, overwhelmed and imperiled. Check on the people you love and know.
