State Senator Pushing For Stronger Gun Crime Law

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A state senator from St. Louis will push for passage of a law requiring a 10-year sentence for any gun crime in Missouri. Democratic state Senator Jamilah Nasheed was in north St. Louis yesterday to call for stiffer penalties on gun crimes. She says she plans to introduce a bill during the next legislative session in January that would impose a mandatory 10-year sentence for conviction of any gun-related crime.
