From Missouri Gun Owner to Criminal In 90 Days

Liberal Anti-gun Extremists Have Proposed A Gun Ban That Will Turn You From A Law Abiding Gun Owner Into A Criminal!

ALERT: Perhaps the most outrageous piece of gun control to date has been introduced in Missouri and other states are quickly following suit. Minnesota has already copied the same bill; other states are sure to follow but we cannot let that happen. Liberal anti-gun extremists have finally exposed their real gun plan:


  • Confiscate legal guns including those used for hunting.
  • Turn legal gun owners into criminals.
  • Arm all criminals so that only criminals have guns.
  • Leave Americans unarmed and unable to protect themselves and their families.


House Bill No. 545 is the name of the Missouri proposal. You will have ninety days to turn in your "assault weapon" or large capacity magazine or you will be prosecuted with a class C Felony.


Below is actual language from the bill:

4. Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was legally in possession of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution:
(1) Remove the assault weapon or large capacity magazine from the state of Missouri;
(2) Render the assault weapon permanently inoperable; or
(3) Surrender the assault weapon or large capacity magazine to the appropriate law enforcement agency for destruction, subject to specific agency regulations.

5. Unlawful manufacture, import, possession, purchase, sale, or transfer of an assault weapon or a large capacity magazine is a class C felony.
You read that correctly; if you do not turn in your gun to be destroyed, remove it from the state, or permanently disable it you could be charged with a class C Felony.

One of the Chicago gangsters that shot Hadiya Pendleton to death had already been arrested for unlawful possession of a firearm in a city with some the toughest gun laws in the country. Yet he was given probation; free to roam the Chicago streets again where he killed young Hadiya Pendleton with another illegal firearm. But they want to turn law abiding gun owners into convicted felons. A Class C Felony in Missouri is punishable with up to SEVEN YEARS IN PRISON BUT THEY LEAVE THE CAREER CIMINALS ON THE STREET! How does this make sense to anyone?


The language describing an 'assault weapon' in the bill uses the same characteristics that Feinstein uses in her Semi-Auto Gun Ban. If you have a gun that has any of these characteristics it will become illegal to possess:

Semi-automatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following:
- Pistol grip, thumbhole stock, protruding grip, folding or telescoping stock
- A shroud attached to the barrel
Semi-automatic pistol, or any semi-automatic, centerfire or rimfire rifle with a fixed magazine, that has the capacity to accept more than ten rounds of ammunition.
Semi-automatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following:
- protruding grip, folding, telescoping, or thumbhole stock
- A shroud attached to the barrel
Semi-automatic shotgun that has one or more of the following:
- A pistol grip or thumbhole stock, protruding grip
- A folding or telescoping stock, fixed magazine of 5 or more rounds
- An ability to accept a detachable magazine or revolving cylinder


This is exactly why our forefathers wrote the Second Amendment. For the Citizens to be able to protect themselves against a tyrannical take over. The first step in a tyrannical take over is disarming the citizens so they do not have a way to defend themselves. Who would have thought in the land of the free the Government would be trying to take away and destroy firearms. It is a sickening thought.
Since the re-election of Obama there has been constant pressure and threats toward our Second Amendment. The only way to counteract these threats is for Law Abiding gun owners to stand up against them. We must let our State Governors know we do not support this proposed anti-gun legislation. We voted them in office, they work for us, and they need to protect the rights of our United States' law abiding citizens.
