Missouri to outlaw enforcement of federal gun control laws
Sponsored by Sen. Nieves, SB613 (“Second Amendment Preservation Act”) states, “All federal acts, laws, executive orders, administrative orders, court orders, rules, and regulations, whether past, present, or future, which infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution shall be invalid in this state, shall not be recognized by this state, shall be specifically rejected by this state, and shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this state….No public officer or employee of this state shall have authority to enforce or attempt to enforce any law, statute, ordinance, or order of any court infringing on the right to keep and bear arms as defined in subsection 3 of this section….Any official, agent, or employee of the United States government who enforces or attempts to enforce any of the infringements on the right to keep and bear arms included in subsection 3 of this section is guilty of a class A misdemeanor. Missouri law enforcement officers shall have the discretionary power to appropriately interpose on behalf of law-abiding citizens, including the power to levy charges or arrest such officials, agents, or employees of the United States government.
Also: “Missouri Senate passes bill that would nullify federal gun laws by 23-10 vote”
“Missouri bill would nullify all federal gun laws, ‘past, present or future’”

Should this not also say, “All federal and state…”, in the case of attempted overreaching officials in politics or law enforcement in our state…as a kind or round-about way to enforce against the 2nd amendment because of their “opinion”, federal trumps state or just because they believe this law to be immoral unethical or treason? Is there a way to protect this law from legal action and being hung up in the courts when it is really needed? How do we get an agreement to not change votes in case of veto override????
