Keeping up with all the legislation in Jefferson City can be tough, but Missouri House Bill 726 (HB726) is one you can’t overlook. This bill is a vital step in protecting our Second Amendment rights, and it needs your support now. This legislation was recently voted “do pass” by the House General Laws Committee, and its next stop is a vote by the full House Body. This is your chance to make a difference.
Why HB726 Is Important
HB726 stops local governments from imposing illegal gun control laws that overstep state authority. It ensures that only state laws govern firearms, protecting the rights of all Missourians—especially younger adults facing unfair restrictions. The bill also imposes a $50,000 penalty on any local government that violates this rule, giving citizens the power to hold them accountable.
