State Rep. Andrew McDaniel’s bill would require most residents between 18 and 35 to get an AR-15, although he admits the plan has little prospect of passing.
Measures introduced in the Missouri House of Representatives last month require many residents who can legally possess a firearm to own both a handgun and an AR-15 and authorizes a tax credit to buy them.
Introduced by state Rep. Andrew McDaniel, R-Deering, his “McDaniel Militia Act,” is a short, two-page bill that would mandate AR-15 ownership in the Show-Me State for adults aged 18 to 35. The bill would allow those residents required to own such a semi-automatic rifle a year to acquire one. The tax credit, which would be first-come-first-served, would be paid for out of a $1 million allocation to the state budget.
A companion bill, the “McDaniel Second Amendment Act,” would make much the same provision for mandatory handgun ownership. Adults over the age of 21 who are able to legally possess a firearm would have to obtain a pistol or revolver capable of firing .22 caliber ammunition or larger. Like the AR-15 proposal, it has the same $1 million tax credit in its language.
