Missouri State Rep Files Bill to Put Gun Sales Under Exact Same Restrictions as Abortions
As St. Louis magazine reports, Newman has pre-filed a bill for the upcoming legislative session that would subject gun buyers to the exact same restrictions currently faced by people seeking abortions.
You can read the full text of House Bill 1397 here; it sweetly proposes that gun buyers have a 72-hour waiting period imposed upon them, and have to “confer and discuss with a licensed physician” and risk factors that might arise “from the proposed firearm purchase:”
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.
Gun buyers would also have to watch a 30-minute video “on fatal firearm injuries” and verify in writing that he or she viewed the entire video “in the presence of a licensed firearm dealer.” There’s more:
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.
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

OMG.....LMBO....
What a great choice of words!
I can hear the gun humper's sphincter knotting happening already!
is unfortunate.
Hope she succeeds in making people pay attention to the idiocy of gun-nuts...or is that lack of nuts?...
They must think owning a gun makes someone more amenable to their control.
But, really, their raison d'être is to represent gun manufacturers anyway, not gun owners. The whole point pushed by the NRA (and your gun show sellers and your local gun shop) when they foment fears about the gubmint coming to take your guns or about how it would be a safer world if everyone had a gun, they are not overly concerned with your safety and security or reducing crime -- they just want to make money by selling guns.
