Republicans in the Missouri Senate want to make sure the governor doesn't create a health care exchange without their consent.

In the wake of the most recent school shooting at a Florida high school on Monday, Moms Demand Action — a gun safety advocacy group — made plans to continue its push against new gun legislation in Missouri. 

The moms want to stop House Bill 1936 from passing. Over 200 members are expected to lobby legislators at the state Capitol next week. 

If passed, the bill would allow concealed weapons to be carried on public college campuses, private property and sports stadiums, among other places where firearms are currently prohibited in Missouri.
