The bill would bar local police from assisting federal agents in enforcing federal laws. And it allows for a $50,000 lawsuit against anyone who knowingly acts under any federal or state law to deprive a Missouri citizen of their Second Amendment rights.
Response to the signing was swift Saturday.
The Missouri chapters of Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action immediately released a statement condemning the bill.
“We are frustrated and disappointed that Governor Parson signed a dangerous bill into law today that ties the hands of law enforcement officers while Missouri is facing one of the worst gun violence epidemics in the country,” said retired Sheriff Rick Walter, a volunteer with the Missouri chapter of Moms Demand Action.
Missouri House Minority Leader Crystal Quade, a Democrat from Springfield, called the bill a “radical, dangerous and obviously unconstitutional attempt to declare that Missouri will refuse to follow federal gun laws.”

Wait... DUmmies want states to enforce fed laws now?

5. I thought local LEOs
Were not required to enforce any Federal law, that is the responsibility of Federal law enforcement agencies.
So how is this different?

16. How is this different than States/Cities refusing to enforce Federal Immigration Law? The
state is not nullifying the federal gun laws it is simply not enforcing them. Federal law enforcement, just like with the immigration laws, can still enforce federal gun laws in MO. I am not seeing the problem here, at least if one believes States/Cities should not/cannot be forced to all federal laws.

Oops, there you go making posts that make sense. That will make you persona non grata on DU.

:rotf: Yeppers, now 13 hours without a response. :rotf: Doing quickie Math, that comment was posted around 5 PM PDT and 8 PM EDT, not a slack time for posting. :rotf: And give sarisataka a kudo - just one - for going halfway there.

And NONE of them would touch federal marijuana laws.

That post was a guy on a Texas road in a hailstorm. Can't run, can't hide, can't make it stop. The post doesn't violate any rules, is correct, and yet is a complete vindication of what conservatives have been saying for decades.
