Republican narrative

Unlike California's renewed anti-Second Amendment agenda, Missouri understands that gun control doesn't lead to safer communities.

All Missourians should be free from police harassment so long as they carry their weapons properly and in accordance with the law.

But the Second Amendment isn't meant to allow children to carry weapons or hinder police from preventing crimes committed by armed minors.
