Missouri had a referendum on a legislatively-sponsored amendment to the Missouri state constitution. It overwhelmingly passed the popular vote with nearly 61% voting to approve it.

The amendment language: (NOTE - The part in BOLD RED was DELETED from the constitution; our forum editor software does not allow "strike-through" text, at least I can't find it. The parts in BOLD BLUE were added.

Section 23. That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms, ammunition, and accessories typical to the normal function of such arms, in defense of his home, person, family and property, or when lawfully summoned in aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned; but this shall not justify the wearing of concealed weapons. The rights guaranteed by this section shall be unalienable. Any restriction on these rights shall be subject to strict scrutiny and the state of Missouri shall be obligated to uphold these rights and shall under no circumstances decline to protect against their infringement. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the general assembly from enacting general laws which limit the rights of convicted violent felons or those duly adjudged mentally infirm by a court of competent jurisdiction.
