From Dana Loesch, interviewing MO Lt. Governor Peter Kinder, who was able to obtain a TRO to stop the fees office over privacy concerns.
The takeaway here is that the progressives are running the entirety of their anti-2nd Amendment playbook, using all their tools simultaneously to attack on multiple fronts.
