Missouri legislators voted on May 10, 2023 and passed a bill that designates the Hawken rifle as Missouri’s official state rifle. The original House bill (HB 224) was sponsored by Representative Mazzie Boyd(R) and was subsequently attached to a Senate bill in order to expedite the outcome. The action, pending Governor Parson’s signature, marks Missouri as the 7th state in the Union to elevate a rifle to official state status. Representative Doug Clemmons (D) co-sponsored the original bill.
Today I speak with Representative Mazzie Boyd who was one of the legislative leaders of the mission to recognize the Hawken as Missouri's state rifle. We discuss some of the legislative process that made this happen as well as the cultural impact recognition like this can have.
I'd like to thank our sponsors for their support:
