Missouri House Passes Ban on Celebratory Gunfire Following Chiefs' Parade Shooting

The Missouri House has 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. Lawmakers engaged in emotional debates over gun laws and the best way to address the recent shooting, highlighting tensions between the two parties on the issue.
