Not by any stretch of the imagination. But the bill does incorporate elements of right wingnut orthodoxy.

SECOND REGULAR SESSION
HOUSE BILL NO. 1563 [pdf]
99TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE NEWMAN. 4416H.01I D. ADAM CRUMBLISS, Chief Clerk

AN ACT

To amend chapter 571, RSMo, by adding thereto two new sections relating to firearm sales.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 571, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto two new sections, to be known as section 571.700 and 571.702, to read as follows:
571.700. 1. (1) Prior to any firearm purchase in this state, a prospective firearm purchaser shall, at least seventy-two hours prior to the initial request to purchase a firearm from a licensed firearm dealer located at least one hundred twenty miles from such purchaser’s legal residence, confer and discuss with a licensed physician the indicators and contraindicators and risk factors, including any physical, psychological, or situational factors, that may arise with the proposed firearm purchase. Such physician shall then evaluate the prospective firearm purchaser for such indicators and contraindicators and risk factors and determine if such firearm purchase would increase such purchaser’s risk of experiencing an adverse physical, emotional, or other health reaction.
(2) At the conclusion of the conference required under subdivision 1 of this subsection, if the prospective firearm purchaser chooses to proceed with the firearm purchase, the licensed physician conducting such conference shall sign and require the prospective firearm purchaser to sign a written statement that such purchaser is fully aware of all physical, psychological, or situational factors of such purchase.
2. No firearm purchase shall be allowed without voluntary, informed consent, given freely and without coercion.
3. A licensed firearm dealer shall orally inform the purchaser of a firearm the 18 following, and reduce it to writing:
(1) The name and license number of the licensed firearm dealer;
(2) The immediate and long-term medical risks associated with firearms, along with medical descriptions and photographs of fatal firearm injuries, as collected by emergency pediatric medical professionals, law enforcement, and prosecutors’ offices;
(3) Alternatives to purchasing a firearm, which shall include materials about peaceful and nonviolent conflict resolution; and
(4) A statement that the dealer is available to answer any questions concerning the purchase of a firearm, together with the telephone number of the dealer where the dealer may be reached to answer any questions the purchaser may have.
4. The prospective firearm purchaser shall obtain written consent of his or her parents in order to qualify for the purchase of any firearm.
5. Prior to the sale of any firearm, a purchaser shall:
(1) Be required to view a thirty-minute video on fatal firearm injuries, as collected by urban medical professionals, law enforcement, and local prosecutors, and verify in writing he or she viewed the entire video in the presence of a licensed firearm dealer. Such video shall be approved by the department of public safety; and
(2) Verify in writing by a licensed physician that the purchaser has toured an emergency trauma center in the nearest qualified urban hospital on a weekend between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. when gun violence victims are present.
6. Within seventy-two hours of a firearm purchase, the prospective firearm purchaser shall meet with at least two families who have been victims of violence involving a firearm and two local faith leaders who have officiated, within the past year, a funeral of a victim of violence involving a firearm who was under the age of eighteen.

571.702. Any entity that sells firearms, ammunition, or accessories, or any entity that instructs or trains individuals in the use of firearms, shall be disqualified from receiving state funds and shall be ineligible for any state-administered or subsidized tax credit, tax abatement, or loan pursuant to chapter 32, 100, 135, 253, 447, or 620. Any entity that is found to be ineligible for a state-administered or subsidized tax credit, tax abatement, or loan under this section may make an appeal with the administrative hearing commission pursuant to the provisions of chapter 621.

Alrighty then.
