Of course, Democratic Governor Jay Nixon didn’t agree with the majority of his fellow Missourians that they should be able to protect themselves in public, so he attempted to veto the state legislation that would allow them to do so. Luckily, 14 state lawmakers stepped up to the plate and overrode his veto.
With the state House and Senate’s defeat of Governor Nixon’s veto, Missouri now joins the ranks of states at the forefront of the battle for gun rights. This, combined with the state’s recent passage of stand your ground laws, makes Missouri one of the most gun owner-friendly places in the US:
For the second time Wednesday, Republicans turned to a parliamentary maneuver to kill a Democratic filibuster and force a vote on a bill, this time to override Gov. Jay Nixon’s veto of a bill eliminating training and permit requirements to carry a concealed gun in public.
The maneuver, known as “calling the previous question,” was once rarely used — only five times in the Senate from 1970 to 2001, when Republicans captured the majority. But it’s now been used five times since 2014, including three times this year.
After shutting down debate Wednesday, the Senate voted to override the governor’s veto on a 24-6 party line vote. The bill moved to the House, where it was quickly approved 112-41.
It becomes law in 30 days.
Previously, gun owners could carry a concealed weapon in public by passing a criminal background check and completing a gun safety training class in order to get a permit.
On the final day of the 2016 legislative session, lawmakers approved a bill eliminating those requirements and allowing someone to carry a concealed firearm in public without a permit.
Nixon vetoed the bill because he said it would allow “individuals to legally carry a concealed firearm even though they have been or would be denied a permit because their background check revealed criminal offenses or caused the sheriff to believe they posed a danger.”
Joining Nixon in opposing the bill were groups representing law enforcement officers around the state, such as the Missouri Police Chiefs Association, along with the state’s four Catholic bishops.

Barack Obama
The most successful president in American history.
(If your ISIS)
The amount of destruction that he has wrought in such a short period of time is astounding. Make no mistake, this is intentional, and he has been successful. Nearly half the population now on some form of welfare. 94 million working age Americans are unemployed; and we are supposed to believe that the unemployment rate is below 6%. Our Military, the weakest it has been in generations, including the destruction of our nuclear arsenal, while facilitating The development of nuclear weapons for terrorist regimes such as Iran, who call publicly for death to America and Israel, and while other world powers, such as China and Russia continue to grow their nuclear arsenal. All the while allowing Hillary to transfer ownership of United States uranium to Russia, in return for $140 million in “donations” to the Clinton crime family foundation,
Adding 7.5 trillion and counting to our national debt, in addition to printing $80 billion per month(QE&QE2), to the tune of $4.5 trillion and pumping it into Wall Street. Government takeover of GM (at the expense of the bondholders and the taxpayers), and the entire health care and health care insurance industry, and lying through his teeth to facilitate this. Inciting racial division at every possible juncture, as well as, class warfare, for divided, we are much easier to conquer.
Constantly denigrating and apologizing for America on the world stage, teaching our children in schools, that America is evil and was founded upon this evilness, an America that has, in a time span of less than 250 years, been the greatest force for good in the history of the world, a first lady that said she’s never been proud of America before her husband was elected, and make no mistake, they are completely representative of the Democrat party elite. It’s obvious Barack Obama wants to take America down a couple of notches, that he does not want America to be the greatest nation on earth, if not America, then who?
Blatantly refusing enforcement of immigration laws, and trampling upon the Constitution, after taking an oath to enforce the laws of this country and uphold the Constitution, and facilitating the invasion of America by illegals, for the sole purpose of infusing the Democrat party with future voters, building the dependent class necessary for liberals to remain in power; I say let’s legalize all the illegal immigrants, only one caveat, they’re not allowed to vote for 25 years.
Say this to liberal and you will find out what their true agenda is, when it comes to illegal immigration.
Insulting and abandoning our allies, and befriending, appeasing, bowing to, and dealing with our enemies. Releasing known terrorists back onto the battlefield during an armed conflict,(this is treasonous), “trading” them for a known traitor (Beau Bergdahl).
Using federal agencies such as the IRS to target American citizens who disagree with him politically. Using the DOJ to further the racial divide by non-prosecution of blacks. Using the EPA to restrict economic growth and development and limit personal property freedom to the greatest extent possible. Using the NSA to spy on the American people; just a question here, do you think it’s possible that Chief Justice John Roberts is being blackmailed?
There is no doubt that the impetus for moral decay in this country is the liberal, leftist, progressive, marxist, socialist, communist ideologic philosophy exemplified by the modern day democrat party. America is the example the rest of the world should follow. History teaches us that liberalism, by whatever name you call it, is a complete failure and often results in actions of a genocidal nature. One cannot avoid having to face up to the destruction being caused by the leftist administration currently in the Whitehouse. For the safety and future of your children and grand children. Vote TRUMP/PENCE in November!!
Make American Great Again!!
This is not just ANY election people, this is a turning point for our country. Given the corruption already in the WH, Clinton will make sure congress has the majority of so called democrats, the Supreme Court will be her appointees, our way of life will cease to exist! We can NOT let her win the election. She has already rigged the primaries, is asking illegals to vote, and has democratic judges overturning voter I D laws, democratic judges giving voting rights back to felons….and that’s just since July!! While Hillary is out doing fundraisers with the wealthy, totally ignoring the people of Louisiana and Mississippi, shows you where her priorities are, she STILL hasn’t made a visit there. She only cares about power and money. Obama has done nothing for the minorities of this country and she promises to keep his legacy going. If anyone doesn’t think Obama is literally turning us over to Radical Islam, look at these facts, the last few years, this is what is happening!
1- bringing thousands of refugees into this country, many of whom have ties to terrorists.
2- paying Iran a cash payment of $400 million in the middle of the night, claiming it to be an old debt. This cash will no doubt be used for terrorism, now Iran is playing war games with us!
3- releasing all of the prisoners from Guantanamo Bay, 30% going right back to terrorist groups
4- trying to disarm Americans in the process
5- demanding 911 recordings from Orlando shooters call to 911, removing references to radical Islam
6- DOJ saying someone will be charged if referencing Islam in a negative way!
7- his administration conveniently (CENTCOM) has falsified reports of how the fight against ISIS is really going!
8- his administration, DOJ, FBI, STATE DEPT. all are covering up the Clinton email scandal about Bengazi!
9- has signed more executive orders anytime he disagrees with congress…THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH POWER!
10- has the worst economic growth (1.4%) since WWII
11- food stamp recipients risen to 36% nationwide, in some places up to 56%
12-first sitting president to endorse a presidential candidate, using taxpayer funds to travel. Trying to insure Clinton carries on this invasion of our country!
13- Obama wants to turn control of the US Internet to a global based company that partners with China and Russia. This will make some websites impossible for us to see, scrambling web addresses into numbers, also making it less secure for us.
Clinton, herself has more corruption following her for the last 30 years. If anyone doesn’t think this is organized crime at the highest level, you are fooling yourself!
Think about THAT for a while! May GOD have mercy on our country! I have had a lot of people ask me to share this! PLEASE BY ALL MEANS! SHARE IT EVERYWHERE!
