The Senate failed to override Governor Jay Nixon’s veto of HB 436, the right wingnut gun nullification bill. Earlier in the day the House did vote successfully to override the veto. Still, the bill fails.

Senate Prez Tom Dempsey and Majority Leader Ron Richard vote against override of #HB436. Override fails on a 22-12 vote. #moleg 8:18 PM – 11 Sep 13

And the Missouri Senate restores sanity, defeating unconstitutional gun bill. Barely. #HB436 8:19 PM – 11 Sep 13
