51st Legislative District, 54th Legislative District, Dean Dohrman, Denny Hoskins, guns, HB 436, missouri, nullification
Previously:
HB 436: loonier than Wayne LaPierre at a press conference (February 5, 2013)
….Firearms subject to the 1934 Act included shotguns and rifles having barrels less than 18 inches in length, certain firearms described as “any other weapons,” machineguns, and firearm mufflers and silencers….
Uh that would be sawed off shotguns, fully automatic machineguns, and silencers.

Yes, you got that right. A veto proof majority in the Missouri General Assembly voted to nullify federal prohibitions of sawed off shotguns, fully automatic machineguns, and silencers.
Forget seersucker. It looks like scratchy gray wool uniforms are back in vogue. [That sarcastic reference to the last serious nullification disagreement which was settled almost 150 years ago came from someone else on the Internets.]
There’s even more right wingnutty goodness in HB 436:
….6. Any official, agent, or employee of the United States government who enforces or attempts to enforce any of the infringements on the right to keep and bear arms included in subsection 3 of this section is guilty of a class A misdemeanor….
[emphasis in original]
Oh, that’ll cost a lot of money to litigate all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
It looks like Representative Dean Dohrman (r) has earned his keep.
And Representative Denny Hoskins (r) is running for a leadership position:

District 54Capitol Report
May 10th, 2013[….]
….I am pleased to officially announce my candidacy for Speaker Pro Tem of the Missouri House of Representatives. As you may, or may not know, Rep. Jason Smith, current Speaker Pro Tem, is running for the vacant Congressional seat in Missouri’s 8th district. I believe I have the experience, character, and conviction needed to fill the position. Speaker Pro Tem is selected by a vote of my House colleagues, many of whom have already expressed their support of my candidacy….
[….]
Heh. Service is its own reward.
2. Any person designated by a school district as a school protection officer shall be authorized to carry concealed firearms in any school in the district and shall be required to keep such firearm on his or her person at all times while on school property. Any school protection officer who violates this subsection shall be removed immediately from the classroom and subject to employment termination proceedings.
Of course, there is no extra compensation for this duty.
