Incumbent Mike Cooper and his challenger, Slidell Mayor Greg Cromer, faced off Wednesday during a debate-style forum hosted by the parish s Chamber of Commerce.
A new bill introduced in the Missouri State Senate would remove the prohibitions on lawfully carrying a firearm on public transportation, but anti-gun advocates say the bill “could increase the likelihood” of more violence. Sen. Greg Razer, a Kansas City Democrat, says the legislation is simply a “bad bill,” but the editors of the
Kansas City Star are a bit more loquacious in their opposition.
The paper claims in a new editorial that Sen. Bob Onder’s legislation is a “risk proposition that lawmakers should soundly reject,” though their argument leaves a lot to be desired.
The legislation was filed in response to a series of high-profile violent incidents on the 46-mile, 38-station MetroLink light rail system operated by Bi-State Development in St. Louis. But Kansas City has no equivalent transit system.
