Roy Blunt Discusses Failed Gun Control Bill

As the gun control debate rages across the country, the U.S. Senate failed to pass a bill that would have implemented stricter background checks.  Missouri's U.S. Senator Roy Blunt explained on Fox News why he did not plan to support the bill.  His primary concern was that stricter laws could ultimately lead to a gun registry, and he pointed out that current laws are not being enforced even now.  Sen. Blunt expressed a desire to shift the discussion to focus on mental health, instead.

Missourinet has a quick summary article on two bills progressing through the Missouri legislature:

HB 170, sponsored by Representative Casey Guernsey (R-Bethany), would make laws passed after January 1, 2013 that ban, restrict ownership or require registration of a gun or magazine unenforceable in Missouri and make it a Class D felony to attempt to enforce them.
HB 436, sponsored by Representative Doug Funderburk (R-St. Peters) would make any law that infringes on the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution invalid according to state law.
