"Missouri House Bans Celebratory Gunfire Following Chiefs' Parade Shooting"
TL;DR Summary
The Missouri House passed a bill to ban celebratory gunfire in cities following a deadly shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl parade, despite the shooting not being linked to celebratory gunfire. The largely bipartisan-supported bill makes shooting a firearm within city limits a misdemeanor for the first offense, with exceptions, and is named after an 11-year-old girl who was struck by a stray bullet in 2011. Emotions ran high during the debate, with Democrats and Republicans clashing over gun laws and addressing gun violence in the state.
