Bill dubbed 'Make Murder Legal Act' by Missouri law enforcement dies in legislature

JEFFERSON CITY — A Missouri bill that would expand the right to shoot and kill someone in self-defense died in committee Thursday after being panned by members of law enforcement.

Senate Bill 666, proposed by southwest Missouri's Sen. Eric Burlison, a Battlefield Republican, would have changed state law to presume self-defense in cases where physical or deadly force was used or threatened.

In this legislative session, it won't go any further after it was voted down by a Senate committee Thursday morning. Sen. Lincoln Hough, a Springfield Republican, joined another Republican and two Democrats to reject the bill in a 4-3 vote.

Burlison's office said the bill was modeled after an existing Florida law and would "protect law abiding citizens from rogue prosecutors who have an agenda against the Second Amendment."

the cops were against the law, not for it, and the law gave the public the right not just cops.
