Missouri Gun Legislation

The bills focus on gun reform and juvenile processing.

One person is dead and at least 22 are injured in a shooting after Wednesday's Super Bowl victory parade in Kansas City, and gun-law activists have renewed calls for tougher legislation.

Since Andrew Lester of Kansas City was accused of shooting teenager Ralph Yarl on Apr. 13, many headlines have included the words "Stand Your Ground." An attorney with the Gifford Law Center on Gun Violence explains that, if there was any legal defense for Lester, it would be the Castle Doctrine, not Missouri's Stand Your Ground law.

Gov. Mike Parson signed legislation Saturday that invalidates federal gun laws in Missouri.

The measure passed on party lines, with 103 Republicans voting in favor and 43 Democrats opposing the idea.
