Lawmakers failed to override the veto of a similar bill earlier this month, but Representative Doug Funderburk says he'll draft a new bill.

Description: "He really scared the living heck out of law enforcement across the state of Missouri. So, you know, a bill he had on his desk for nine months all of the sudden became a critical mass, extremely disastrous bill a week before the vote. And he knew what he was doing."

Funderburk says he thinks most lawmakers will agree with the new legislation.
