St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones announced plans to introduce legislation to ban AR-15s, AK-47s, and military-style weapons.
This from survivethenews.com.
The move, no doubt, will be seen as a positive for criminals to prey on a less defended city.
Jones also wants to ban celebratory gunfire—something that is prevalent in black neighborhoods in the city on New Year’s Eve and other occasions.
And Jones wants to take guns away from those individuals who are convicted of an insurrection or hate crimes. That’s important.
FOX2 Now reported:
St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones plans to introduce new legislation that would ban AR-15s, AK-47s, and similar “military-grade” weapons on city streets.
In a Tuesday morning press conference, Jones announced her intent to introduce new gun safety legislation with support from the Board of Aldermen.
Jones said the legislation would be designed to:
- Prohibit military-grade weapons on city streets,
- Prevent the transfer or sale of guns to minors,
- Take action on military-grade guns and similar untraceable firearms,
- Prepare St. Louis for the passage of Blair’s Law to ban celebratory gunfire, and
- Prohibit anyone convicted of insurrection or hate crimes from having guns in St. Louis.
Jones said this push comes in an effort to tackle gun violence in St. Louis City.
The mayor explained:
Gun violence is a public health crisis that impacts families and communities in every neighborhood across our city.
We’re coming together around a shared vision: A safer, stronger St. Louis that is ready to stand up for our values.
Last month Mayor Jones’s leaked text messages revealed the she was not a true believer in gun control.
In one text message she told her father:
Chicago has strict gun laws as well but that doesn’t deter gun violence.
Final thoughts: A financial review may provide information concerning the mayor’s change of heart. We may have another compromised mayor in America.
