Vote Munzlinger, Vote Consistency

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."
