2nd Amendment rights are protected in Missouri...The worst mass shootings happen in no-carry zones.

Robert Haggy

Good point

Jack L

A gun in your trunk won`t offer much protection. If you want to protect yourself conceal/carry is the way to go

Robert Haggy

Agreed, I hope this is just a step in the right direction

John Krzos

I believe that evil is everywhere. Everyone deserves the right to be protected, even all students. Guns are just tools, it's the person behind the tool that determines how it is used!

Robert Haggy

Absolutely

Will Mason

Illegal guns are already there. Why shouldn't legal ones be there too?

Robert Haggy

Definitely agree

Adam Schrader

By no means am I a gun advocate, but I do think having one in your vehicle is ok. Especially in Columbia. That place is fast becoming a toilet full of scum.

Max DeYoung

Because it is the Law

Robert Haggy

Agreed

I support the 2nd amendment. Also Missouri is a constitutional carry state. It has been proven time and time again that where the law abiding public are allowed to legally carry guns then violent criminal activity is significantly reduced. Criminals say gun control makes it easier to commit crime

Nicolas Keegan

A state and federally funded ought to honor the state and federal constitutions.

Robert Haggy

Absolutely right

Those opposed to the change -- which has now been approved -- say more guns on campus creates more safety concerns.

I feel college age adults, especially males, are still struggling with their critical thinking skills in relation to their emotions. College students have many stresses, personal and college coursework. Guns do not provide protection, they increase the likely hood of gun violence

Letitia DenHartog

Having that easy of access to guns doesn't give people time to calm down before reacting to situations.

My son-in-law works on campus as a teacher. He should not have to worry about whether he comes home to my daughter at the end of a work day. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to bring a gun to a school campus. Period.

Max DeYoung

Does that include policemen? I know the criminals never have guns. That would be illegal.

Rob Rasmussen

So every dip with a punisher skill decal is gonna get their gun stolen outta their car during class lolololol

Max DeYoung

Are you referring to the people who shoot up the City of Columbia nearly every night, or the honest people who are legally carrying firearms for protection?

Police say the guns, one of which was used in a Kansas City-area school shooting, are practically untraceable and available to anyone.

The weapons, available in kits at gun shows and online, are legal in all but a few states.

When you get a drivers license, you should also be administered a CCW and a 9mm.

Max DeYoung

No, because blue states give "illegal aliens" drivers licenses, without even having to take a test. Then they use the drivers licenses, as proof to vote.

Max DeYoung

60 Missouri Peace Officers Associations wanted to enforce illegal Federal Firearm Laws. More than 540 Missouri Peace Officers Associations disagreed. This is an attempt to override the 2nd Amendment. It's time to punish criminals, not law abiding Americans. Lets get rid of this phony administration.

WE have our own wells- Let's get them open!!!

Belinda Kitchen

Because why should we help the Russians in any way. After all the caused this war . Biden needs to open up our pipelines here in the US!!!!

Max DeYoung

It is the common sense answer, and the humanity based answer. Joe won't do it though. He stands to lose to much personal income.

Justin Ballz

Correct. biden sucks.

Mae Paulo

We only bring in 3% of our fuel from Russia. The gas price hike is not because of the lies politicians are pushing.

Zaos Gonzolez

Ban taxes and public schools.

So far the U.S. and EU have resisted such a ban, worrying it would drive up consumer prices too much.

We need to force oil prices upwards in order to unite behind the president's plan to ensure we all must purchase $60,000.00 electric vehicles, preferably non-American made,

Max DeYoung

Joe would demand we buy them from his blood brother, and joint businessman Xi Jinping. That way Joe gets his 10%.
