I wanted you to hear this right away: we’ve just filed bills in the House and Senate to ban the enforcement of ‘Red Flag Gun Seizures’ here in Missouri forever!
We all know how awful ‘Red Flags’ are.
They allow people who don’t like you to call you in and claim you are dangerous, then empower judges to order the confiscation of your firearms before you’ve even been charged with a crime.
We’ve stopped these before, and we’ll keep doing that.
But it’s time to go beyond defense, we need to go on offense and that’s exactly what HB-1651 and SB-142 would do. Specifically they:
- Make it a crime to enforce any gun seizure order on a Missourian unless they are convicted of a violent felony crime first.
- Ensure that STL and KC comply with this by creating a civil penalty that allows gun owners to sue agencies and cities that violate this law, in civil court.
- Specifically states that if a future Democratic Congress passed federal ‘Red Flag’ laws, Missouri cops shall not enforce them.
(Rep. Mazzie Christensen and Senator Nick Schroer are our lead bill sponsors on this legislation (H.B. 1651/S.B. 142.))
To thank Representative Christensen for sponsoring H.B. 1651, call her office at 573-751-4285.
To thank Senator Schroer for sponsoring S.B. 142, call his office at 573-751-1282.
Missouri is a pro-gun state. You and I made it that way. But the legislature has not passed a gun bill in almost four years. This is ridiculous given all gun owners have done for them at election time.

P.S. For over a decade, we’ve used Facebook to educate and mobilize gun owners. We’ll continue to do that, but most political free speech has moved to X (aka Twitter.) So have we.
