Before hearing legislation today, the committee voted on the extremist measure heard last week—HB1175, known as SAPA. They vote it out swiftly, 5-2, and after literally a dozen police voices traveled here a week ago to oppose it. #moleg

Multiple Missouri police departments showed up in OPPOSITION of House GOP sponsored-and-passed pro-gunmen legislation HB 1175 (SAPA) “Back the Blue” and “tough on crime” is empty words; the GOPs loyalty is to the gun lobby. #moleg

We are forcing law enforcement to choose when they work for federal agencies whether they would want to be sued by members of the public under this bill. HB 1175 allows the public to sue any Missouri LEO who had formerly worked for a federal agency. #moleg

"More access to guns does nothing to improve public safety," said Rep. Yolanda Young, Kansas City. "More access to guns doesn't decrease gun deaths. It does the opposite." The #moleg majority has no intention of improving public safety. Or listening to what cities need. www.kbia.org/missouri-new...
