Missouri State Senator Kurt Schaefer

Senator Schaefer makes the lead on Breitbart.  Congratulations, Senator!

In Missouri, we have a little something called term limits.  This has shifted the balance from Democrat to Republican in the General Assembly over the last several years.  We have good legislators get term-limited out, but we also get rid of the lousy ones.  It seems to me, lately, that facing the limit encourages members to be more likely to follow principle as opposed to doing what will get them re-elected. 

What Senator Schaefer (R-Columbia) is sponsoring is a ballot measure for Missourians to vote on later this year.  If approved, it would hold the Attorney General and the Assembly responsible for defending against infringement of a Missouri citizen's right to keep and bear arms. 

If you are in Missouri, voice your support of Senator Schaefer.  If you live elsewhere, encourage your own state legislators to take a look at this kind of "states' rights" approach to throwing off the federal yoke.
