Medical Professionals on Prop. B
An Open Letter to the People of Missouri:
As medical professionals we spend every day of our professional lives looking after the well-being of Missourians. We are proud to be trusted providers of healthcare services to Missouri families.
We are sworn to protect the health of our patients. We would never be in favor of anything that would be a threat to the health or well-being of any Missourian.
Sadly, too many Missouri families know the pain of having a family member become the victim of violent crime. We see it in the emergency rooms and in our offices day after day. And right now, Missourians have no strong methods of self-defense against well-armed violent criminals
We support Proposition B, Missouri’s Right-to-Carry law. We have looked closely at the specifics of this law. We have listened to the arguments that both sides have made.
Proposition B does not pose a danger to Missourians. The bill has strict guidelines to assure that permits are only given to decent, law-abiding Missourians. The proposal calls for extensive background checks and firearms training.
And many violent attacks could be avoided with Proposition B. Prop B will make it so criminals will never know for sure who has the capability to fight back. With Prop B, law-abiding citizens will be able to protect themselves and their health and well-being.
Proposition B will work for Missouri and poses no safety threat to law-abiding Missourians. We believe in law-abiding Missourians. We know they will make Prop B work the way it is supposed to.
We are proud to have earned the trust of Missouri’s families. We are proud to have earned your respect. We are proud to invite you to join us in supporting Proposition B.
