St. Louis Mayor Tishaura O. Jones announced Tuesday plans to ban AR-15s, AK-47s and other firearms within city limits.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Board of Aldermen will be considering a bill which will include the ban and other gun control measures.

Other controls that are expected to be included in the bill include regulations on gun kits.

Jones said: “We are ready to fight at the local level in order to prevent gun violence, to protect our babies and to keep our community safe.”

1776 Coalition Sponsored STOP THE RADICAL LEFT FROM TAKING OVER IN 2026 As a retired Marine Corps General with nearly 50 years of service to the USA, I’m telling you to never underestimate our adversary. Contrary to media reports, they’ve got a plan to sabotage GOP efforts and distract you. They want you to abandon America’s Golden Age. Don’t let them succeed. Stand with me, Jack Bergman, and let’s defeat the left on Capitol Hill!

Attorney General Andrew Bailey has told Jones that her attempt to surpass state laws is illegal. He also made it clear that he would fight any effort to “infringe upon the right of Missourians to bear arms and keep them.”

Bill Eigel, a Republican candidate for governor and state senator, blasted Jones’ planned gun ban. He said, “I condemn the unconstitutional attacks by the radical leftist mayor Tishaura Jones on the right of citizens to bear arms.” Mayor Jones, the Democrat Party dynasty in St. Louis City that has been in control for a decade, is proposing to defund and abandon police, take guns away from lawful citizens and make it a crime that you have views that are not theirs.

“She opposes her own.”

Eigel continued, “I’ve always been a fervent defender of the People’s right to carry arms and against the type of local government tyranny Mayor Jones publicly embraces with this announcement. I will continue to oppose these bad policies wherever they appear within the boundaries of the Show-Me State. Let’s go, Missouri!”
