I was at a sporting goods store today trying to get some gunpowder that my local (and preferred) shop was out of. The sales rep told me that either the state of Missippi or Missurri had banned the sale of all firearms including long guns. I am in northern BC, Canada, so my first thought is that this account is just that, a rumor. Can someone who knows shed some light on this for me?

Whoever told you that is full of shit. Nothing more needs to be said.

Thanks. That is sort of what I suspected. good luck to all y'all down there and keep shooting straight.

The state of Missouri has some bills pending that. Out laws modren sporting rifles and hi cap pistols. With a 90 day turn in or else.

Hasn't passed yet but some lib from St louis induced it.

I guess it will be or else and they will have to pry the gun out of my cold dead hand.

Liberals introduce BS bills all the time. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

After all, Democratic New York Rep. Jose Serrano introduces a bill to repeal the 22nd amendment every session of congress. 22nd amendment limits the president to two terms. That too, will never pass.

New York never will ban modren sporting rifles.

OH wait they just did.

I guess If I stick my head in the sand it will never happen.

Missouri is not New York. We should take notice of the names and remember them but this bill is DOA.

Right there is why such issues as this, should be included in the American Big Game hunting topic area, if a state outlaws guns, it will affect hunters living in that state. Also once one state falls, others will at least try to follow suit and will keep trying till it happens.

Hunters sticking their head in the sand trying to ignore the problems, refusing to talk about the problem or even acknowledge that a problem exists, helps no one.

This is also an example of why, especially in this day and time owing to the availability of internet access, hunters in every state should monitor what type of legislation that is being presented/considered by their state government and who is presenting it/backing it/fighting against it.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE REASON THE ANTIS GET AHEAD OF US! THEY ARE ORGANIZED, THEY ARE UNIFIED, THEY ARE MOTIVATED, AND THEY VOTE! AND YES I AM YELLING! THAT SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY TONE OF VOICE SOME PEOPLE LISTEN TO! WORRY, PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS GOING ON, CALL, EMAIL, SEE YOUR LEGILATORS FACE TO FACE, ANY CHANCE YOU GET! LET THEM KNOW YOU ARE NOT HAPPY, AND YOU VOTE!

The Colorado House just passed an egregious anti-gun bill. We can hope it will die in the senate, but the fact that this type of bill can pass even the House in the mountain west should be a wake up call to everyone. CO is not NY or CO, but it did pass the House.
Time to load the guns....

We all should be worrying when all our rights are being stripped away while the Emperor is out golfing with Tiger and his First Lady and kids are in CO skiing on our dime!!!

He may have been referring to the highly publicized article about the Missouri State Democrat Rep that submitted a bill that would require gun owners to "turn in" their assault rifles and magazines that accommodate more than 10 rounds within 90 days of the passage of the bill. I've read that a Republican Rep submitted a bill that would make it a felony to submit a Gun Control bill that would affect our 2nd Amendment rights to bear arms. Although I'm from Oklahoma I would put my "bet" on the Republican's bill.
