MISSOURI--- A potential ban on assault weapons was one of many topics discussed this morning at Eggs and Issues. In the legislative update, southwest Missouri lawmakers addressed House Bill 545 which would not only end sales of assault weapons, but also require those owning assault weapons to turn them in within 90 days.
Representative Charlie Davis says there is little support for the measure."It's got no traction. We've got 110, or 109, Republicans members in the Missouri House and not a single person would vote for it. Half of our Democrats won't vote for it because they are second amendment Democrats also."
Other legislative priorities include balancing the $24 billion budget and whether to expand Medicaid as part of the Affordable Care Act.
