Here we have a doctor who isn't happy with the passage of the Missouri 2nd amendment act which
invalidates federal laws that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms (which would presumably be every federal gun law), and subjects those enforcing such laws in Missouri to fines and up to a year imprisonment.
provide for school teachers and/or administrators to be designated "school protection officers," authorized to carry firearms to protect the school from attack
lower the age of eligibility for concealed carry permits from 21 to 19
preempt local restrictions on openly carried firearms; protect medical personnel from any law requiring them to inquire about a patient's firearm ownership; and ban firearm possession by illegal aliens
Some of course aren't happy with this..
Like Dr Robert Flood
"
But Robert Flood, a pediatric doctor at St. Louis University and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, said the bill is written under the mistaken concept that more guns lead to greater safety.
“Children are more likely to die by firearms in states with lax gun laws,” he said. “Rather than being used for self-protection will be used on other people [um, actually, Doctor, when guns are used for self-protection, they're generally used 'on other people'] .”
Again friends, "it's for the children!" is the cry. Sigh *headdesk, headdesk, headdesk*

*Note the author of the article I believe supports the Mo 2nd amendment act. He certainly treated the doctor with scorn in this article
Then there is the following gross stupidity from Illinois...

Yes because obviously law abiding citizens who own guns and have CHL's are too stupid to understand that teh little vinyl sticker means it's "illegal" to carry a gun on the school/restaurant/whatever's premises. The fact that it is proven again and again that that sticker disarming those who would be armed is the reason "mass shootings" taking place in those venues is of course, something that goes in one ear and out the other. Goes over their heads, or has a hard time getting through the skull of someone with the bone density of solid granite! Irony is lost on these morons.
Then finally for todays "nope we don't want your guns file there's this one..from our enem...errrr I mean our friends over at Al Jazeera.
It starts out BADLY in the title for the article with this..
