Another gun bill, introduced today by Representative Andrew McDaniel (r):

HB 1108
Establishes the McDaniel Militia Act, which requires every person between 18 and 35 years of age who can legally possess a firearm to own an AR-15 and authorizes a tax credit for a purchase of an AR-15
Sponsor: McDaniel, Andrew (150)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2019

Last Action: 02/27/2019 – Introduced and Read First Time (H)

Why an AR-15, why not a Type 56? Just asking. They can buy Missouri farmland, we can buy their firearms. Win-win.

Andrew McDaniel, guns, HB 1052, missouri, right wingnuts, trolling

Yesterday Representative Andrew McDaniel (r) introduced a bill that would require every Missouri resident over the age of twenty-one to own a handgun. Details are now available.

The text [pdf] of HB 1052:

FIRST REGULAR SESSION
HOUSE BILL NO. 1052
100TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE MCDANIEL. 2259H.01I DANA RADEMAN MILLER, Chief Clerk

AN ACT

To amend chapters 41 and 135, RSMo, by adding thereto two new sections relating to the McDaniel Second Amendment Act.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapters 41 and 135, RSMo, are amended by adding thereto two new sections, to be known as sections 41.1020 and 135.785, to read as follows:

41.1020. 1. This section shall be known and may be cited as the “McDaniel Second Amendment Act”.

2. As used in this section, the following terms mean:
(1) “Handgun”, a pistol, revolver, or other firearm designed to be held in one hand that is capable of firing .22 caliber ammunition or larger;
(2) “Resident”, a resident of this state who is twenty-one years of age or older and is not prohibited by law or court order from possessing a firearm.

3. Every resident of this state shall own at least one handgun.

4. Any resident twenty-one years of age or older who does not own a handgun on 10 August 28, 2019, shall have one year to purchase a handgun. Any resident who becomes twenty-one years of age after August 28, 2019, and does not own a handgun shall purchase a handgun no later than one year after becoming twenty-one years of age.

5. A resident may sell a handgun provided that the resident owns at least one handgun at all times.

135.785. 1. As used in this section, the following terms mean:
(1) “Handgun”, the same meaning as the term is defined under section 41.1020;
(2) “Taxpayer”, an individual subject to the state income tax under chapter 143.

2. For all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2019, a taxpayer who did not own a handgun before he or she was required to own a handgun under section 41.1020 and who purchased a handgun in order to satisfy the requirements of section 41.1020 shall be allowed to claim a tax credit against such taxpayer’s income tax liability under chapter 143, excluding withholding tax imposed by sections 143.191 to 143.265, equal to seventy-five percent of the cost of the handgun purchased.

3. The total amount of tax credits authorized under this section shall not exceed one million dollars per tax year. Tax credits shall be issued on a first-come, first-served basis.

4. No tax credit claimed under this section shall be refundable.

5. The department of revenue may promulgate rules to implement the provisions of this section. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable, and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2019, shall be invalid and void.

6. Under section 23.253 of the Missouri sunset act:
(1) The provisions of the new program authorized under this section shall automatically sunset on December thirty-first six years after the effective date of this section unless reauthorized by an act of the general assembly;
(2) If such program is reauthorized, the program authorized under this section shall automatically sunset on December thirty-first twelve years after the effective date of the reauthorization of this section; and
(3) This section shall terminate on September first of the calendar year immediately 30 following the calendar year in which the program authorized under this section is sunset.

“…This section shall be known and may be cited as the ‘McDaniel Second Amendment Act’…”

Uh, did the sponsor name the act after himself? Just asking.

“…’Handgun’, a pistol, revolver, or other firearm designed to be held in one hand that is capable of firing .22 caliber ammunition or larger…”

Well, maybe a miniature trebuchet with a wrist strap could work. You think?

“…Every resident of this state shall own at least one handgun…”

Do shares count? Just asking.

Damn. Think of the entrepreneurial possibilities! “Yes, I’d like to buy a 1/1000 share in a handgun. Maybe something in a nine milimeter.” “Why, yes, and your share comes with photo and a nicely engraved proof of ownership certificate. Visitation rights are extra.”

“…A resident may sell a handgun provided that the resident owns at least one handgun at all times…”

I dunno, I think the share thing could still work.

“…The total amount of tax credits authorized under this section shall not exceed one million dollars per tax year…”

Can you still get a tax credit if you 3D print your own handgun? Just asking. That might make the tax credit go farther.

The bill does include a sunset clause. Your right wingnut controlled General Assembly, always ready with the unintentional irony.

General Assembly, guns, HB 1039, Jered Taylor, missouri, supremacy clause, tenther drivel

For the most over the top gun fetish bill introduced this session in the Missouri House.

A bill, introduced on February 21st by Representative Jered Taylor (r):

HB 1039
Establishes the Second Amendment Preservation Act, which creates additional protections to the right to bear arms
Sponsor: Taylor, Jered (139)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2019
LR Number: 2160H.01I
Last Action: 02/25/2019 – Read Second Time (H)
Bill String: HB 1039
Next House Hearing: Hearing not scheduled
Calendar: Bill currently not on a House calendar

In the bill [pdf]:

…1.420. The following federal acts, laws, executive orders, administrative orders, court orders, rules, and regulations shall be considered infringements on the people’s right to keep and bear arms, as guaranteed by Amendment II of the Constitution of the United States and Article I, Section 23 of the Constitution of Missouri, within the borders of this state…

Uh, we see your tenther drivel and raise you a supremacy clause:

United States Constitution, Article VI
…This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding…

What’s worse? The sponsor actually believes everything in the bill, or he knows it’s bullshit and he filed it anyway?

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): Open public town hall? What’s that?

22 Friday Feb 2019

Posted by Michael Bersin in social media

4th Congressional District, missouri, social media, town hall, Twitter, Vicky Hartzler

Hiding behind a telephone.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2018 file photo].

Today, via Twitter:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
This Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 6pm CT, I will be hosting a live, interactive event. My
constituents will be able to ask questions and speak with me about issues important to them. Dial [….], or stream it online when the event begins:
[….]
9:00 AM – 22 Feb 2019

Some of the comments:

Why don’t you have a real face-to-face townhall? Are you afraid to meet unscrewed constituents?

Correction: @VickiHartzler is holding a virtual town hall for republican constituents. Democrats are welcome to give extra questions to the call screeners, they will be permitted maybe if time allows.

Could you please clarify on the format?

Will you be pre-screening the questions? Because that’s not the same as addressing the issues of your constituents in a live format.

You don’t take questions from people you haven’t vetted. How are people who disagree with you supposed to communicate?

A virtual Town Hall is the GOP equivalent of ear plugs.

Yep been there done that many times but yet never have been allowed to speak or ask any questions. This is a cowards way out of a real town hall meeting.

And, some of the responses to the same announcement on Facebook:

This is a cop-out, Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler. You control what questions are asked, so you can give us someone else’s answers. How about an in-person #townhall? You’ve got plenty of time for photo-ops, now make time for your constituents!

Why are you so afraid to meet your constituents face to face? These fake town halls are a cop out. Shameful and undemocratic.

Been there, done that multiple times but never been allowed to ask a question. They are a waste of time, you and your staff select the questions.

Can’t make it too hard for her, you know….

Yes she is a delicate flower of sorts.

Same here…tried many times. Waste of time, unless you are one of her chosen few (and those few are getting fewer and fewer since her M.O. is becoming more common knowledge).

Perhaps you will actually come back and have real town halls in front of your constituents. This is just another opportunity for you to hand pick questions from people that support you. The last time you did one of these, every question was from a Republican.

I have never been allowed to ask a question. How about an actual in person town hall? You screen the phone questions so you don’t have to think.

That’s not a townhall, Vicki. Show up like you’re not afraid of getting talked at. You need to hear what people have to say.

I am working. But I would like a list of bipartisan bills you are working on. We need to get out of our political corners, openly listen to each other and be willing to compromise. I am unaware of this happening in your case. Please let me know. Thank you.

Not gonna happen.

Totally alienated at this point; no hope left for consideration or constituent advocacy.

Nobody cares about your goofy choreographed “talks.”

Screened calls.

It’s really something how you make your job sound like a favor, “my constituents will be able to ask questions and speak with me about issues that are important to them”. That should have been your victory speech not an isolated and controlled situation.
Your job is to work for us but your photos show you are only loyal to your pocket.

I participate in most of these, but all the questions are screened, so if you ask something she doesn’t want to talk about then you don’t actually have the opportunity to ask about topics that are important to you….

She’s afraid she can’t be poised under fire.

Will it be the same old platform with you? Preapproved questions Limited responses from you that are either abstract or blatant lies? When you do so will you prevent people from asking for clarification and the truth? It’s not a “conversation” if you control every facet of the “event” It’s a sham a lie, and a propaganda mill. So,? What will it be, Vics? Genuine conversation, with care, concern, and factual information, or the same old controlled, FAKE, “conversation?” Are you too Frightened? Dishonest? Unknowledgeable for a free exchange?

My bet is on the same old cowardice from you.

When will you meet your constituents in person, Vicky?

Don’t you mean your pre-selected constituants?

They ain’t buying it.
