[quote:Anonymous Coward 81318904:MV81MzU4MDkxX0M5RjUxMEI=] Missouri’s Republican-led House on Wednesday voted against banning minors from openly carrying firearms on public land without adult supervision. The proposal to ban children from carrying guns without adult supervision in public failed by a 104-39 vote. Only one Republican voted in support of it. Democratic Rep. Donna Baringer said police in her district asked for the change to stop “14-year-olds walking down the middle of the street in the city of St. Louis carrying AR-15s.” “While it may be intuitive that a 14-year-old has no legitimate purpose, it doesn’t actually mean that they’re going to harm someone. We don’t know that yet,” said Rep. Tony Lovasco, a Republican from the St. Louis suburb of O’Fallon. “Generally speaking, we don’t charge people with crimes because we think they’re going to hurt someone.” There is no age restriction and children of any age may carry any firearm in public without their parents’ approval or supervision. https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/missouri-house-votes-against-limits-on-kids-carrying-guns/ [/quote]
