HOUSE BILL NO. 545 97TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Missouri Democrats Seek Civil War.

If you think persons seeking to confiscate all legally owned weapons are not seeking to start a civil war, then you are living in idiot land, and need to wake up.

Gun control advocates only seek to shift firearms to the most corrupt government in the entire world, or at least the entire history of the USA.

Anyone with a sense of global politics knows the Chinese are behind the most, if not all of this, as they've made it beyond plain they want all US citizens disarmed, and left as sitting ducks for Mexican Drug Cartels, regular criminals, the criminal federal government, and ...the Chinese.

What follows, is nothing less than treason, and an attempt to start a bloody insurrection in the USA.



INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVES ELLINGER (Sponsor), SCHUPP, MCNEIL AND WALTON GRAY (Co-sponsors).
0776L.01I                                                                                                                                                  D. ADAM CRUMBLISS, Chief Clerk
