📰 News we're reading

• Firearms legislation stalls (myleaderpaper.com) — A gun-rights bill sponsored by Dardenne Prairie Rep. Mike Costlow, which sought to loosen regulations on firearm suppressors in Missouri, has stalled in the Senate. Two other high-profile measures—one targeting Red Flag laws and another expanding concealed carry on public transit—also failed to advance before the legislative session’s end, leaving current firearm rules unchanged for now.
