The message ricocheted around Missouri like stray munitions from a shaky marksman: Pray all you want, but you re not taking away our guns, even for the length of a church service.
Churches, synagogues, temples and mosques have been placed on notice that they may no longer be a sanctuary from the gun lobby and its flock. The state House of Representatives has passed and sent to the Senate a bill that would remove houses of worship from the list of places where gun owners cannot pack heat.
