If you are pro Second Amendment rights, then Brian Munzlinger should be your choice for Missouri State Senate. Time after time he has campaigned relentlessly in support of gun rights and has fought tirelessly against attempts to take the very basic “right to bear arms” away from law abiding citizens.
In 2007, Munzlinger was a strong sponsor of a provision eliminating the need to obtain a permit before being allowed to purchase a concealable weapon. "In some counties, it was basically used as a way to throw up another roadblock for law-abiding citizens to legally obtain a handgun," Munzlinger said.
On June 26, 2010 House Bill 2034 was signed into law. This was an extremely important bill for gun activists and the National Rifle Association (NRA). The NRA thanked Representative Munzlinger specifically for facilitating the passage of the bill.
Also, for the past few years, Munzlinger has put his support behind an effort to pass a bill allowing concealed weapons to be carried on college campuses. While this is a controversial issue, even for someone who has grown up in a rural community and who supports gun rights, he makes several good points on the issue; number one being the belief that allowing concealed weapons on campuses will deter such tragic events as the Virginia Tech shootings. "I think they're (the presidents are) just fearing law-abiding people when they should be fearing criminals."

Munzlinger to speak on Prop B tomorrow in Moberly
Representative Munzlinger will be joined by Sen. Bill Stouffer (R-Napton) at a dinner meeting Tuesday for the Randolph Area Pachyderm Club to discuss the immediate future of Missouri agriculture and agribusiness. The two Missouri leaders will also be addressing the controversial Proposition B, which will be on the November ballot.
Prop B, the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act, has been the recipient of debate and controversy, both within the General Assembly and among the Missouri voting public. The Missouri Farm Bureau, of which Munzlinger is a member, has led a strong campaign against the passing of the November measure. The organization is concerned that the ballot measure is just the first step taken by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) in a greater plan to eliminate all animal agriculture.
Advocates of Prop B have rooted their message in pathos, certain that a strongly worded ballot measure — Who do you know would say they’re against the prevention of puppy mill cruelty? — would be an easy emotional sell in a state infamous for its puppy mill rings. It will be interesting to hear the viewpoints Rep. Munzlinger and Sen. Stouffer present to those in attendance Tuesday evening, as well as the feedback from the agriculturally-based crowd of voters.
The dinner meeting is open to all interested citizens, regardless of political affiliation. More information and reservations are available by contacting Pachyderm secretary Laurel Seeley at 660-277-4425 or laurels@cvalley.net.

Introducing, Brian Munzlinger!
Despite the odds stacked against him, Missouri Representative Brian Munzlinger has accepted the task of going head to head with current 18th District State Senator Wes Shoemyer in the upcoming election. Munzlinger, a resident of the rural community Williamstown, Missouri, has been a state representative since 2002. He is a third-generation farmer, a graduate of the University of Missouri, and a member of many agricultural organizations. Munzlinger is a member of the NRA and once worked as a rifle and pistol instructor for 4-H. He is a Second Amendment supporter and is also in favor of stronger immigration laws. He is firmly against the recent national healthcare bill, a stance in sync with Missourians who voted against Obamacare in August.

Although Shoemyer has held the Senate seat since 2007—and only one Republican has won the seat in the last 40 years—Munzlinger has the best chance of winning in a long time. His strong, rural background combined with his staunch position on issues (such as Obamacare) are points in his favor.
