The Supreme Court on Friday refused to clear the way for a Missouri law designed to prevent local and state police officers from enforcing certain federal firearms restrictions......
Missouri’s Republican-led legislature passed the far-reaching law in 2021, declaring certain U.S. gun regulations invalid and giving individual citizens the right to sue local and state governments that enforce the measures, which the lawmakers said infringe on their constituents’ Second Amendment rights.
The Biden administration sued the state to block the Missouri law, saying it is unconstitutional and undermines public safety
The law, known as the Second Amendment Preservation Act, targets broad categories of federal gun laws that impose taxes, fees and registration requirements on certain firearms. The measure allows individuals to sue local or state agencies for up to $50,000 if they enforce the provisions at issue.
