Following last week’s adjournment of the Missouri General Assembly, NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action is pointing out several important pro-freedom wins this spring in the Show-Me State.

Anti-gun bills that were defeated include House Bill 185, which would have required lawful gun owners to report lost or stolen firearms within a certain period of time or face harsh penalties, potentially including jail time; House Bill 241, which would have made it illegal to transfer a firearm to any person on the federal “No Fly” list; House Bill 363, which would have required that all sales or transfers of firearms be processed through a licensed firearms dealer; House Bill 364, which would have created provisions requiring permits to purchase firearms in the state of Missouri; House Bill 365, which would have established extreme risk protection orders and gun violence seizure warrants, and prohibited certain persons involved in domestic violence from possessing a firearm without due process; and House Bill 366, which would have added unnecessary extra steps for a person to purchase a firearm in the state.
