"Senate Bill 225 enacts the Hunting Heritage Protection Areas Act. Under this act, recreational use of firearms is protected in hunting heritage areas, which are defined as federally designated 100-year floodplains. Additionally, the use of public funds to develop such areas would be prohibited, but the measure does not limit the usage of private funds by farmers and private individuals. This not only protects against increasing loss in hunting lands, it is also saves tax dollars from being used on areas known to flood. It is also good for the environment. These areas preserve habitat and “green zones” for wildlife and recreation. This includes a haven for North America’s migratory birds, two-thirds of which travel through our state."
The above is just a synopsis of the entire bill. Read in it's entirety, it seems to restrict "recreational" use of firearms (read hunting and target shooting) to "hunting heritage areas." Such areas to be defined by a FEDERAL bureaucrat in Washington DC that has most likely ever owned a firearm.
This State Senator (Bill Stouffer) claims to be a Republican but has introduced numerous TAX INCREASES and other anti-business, anti-gun legislation. This idiot can be reached at bstouffer@senate.mo.gov.
