The Missouri legislature has passed HB 85, “Second Amendment Preservation Act”. The bill passed the Senate 22 – 10 and the House 107 – 43.
The bill is a stringent anti-commandeering act that forbids Missouri officials from enforcing or aiding in the enforcement of laws inimical to Second Amendment rights. From mo.gov:
(1) Declares that laws,rules,orders,or other actions that collect data, restrict or prohibit the manufacture, ownership,and use of firearms, firearm accessories,or ammunition exclusively within this state exceed the powers granted to the federal government except to the extent they are necessary and proper for governing and regulating land and naval forces of the United States or for organizing,arming,and discipling militia forces actively employed in the service of the United States Armed Forces. Infringing actions would include any registration or tracking of firearms, firearm accessories,or ammunition or any registration or tracking of the ownership of firearms, firearm accessories,or ammunition;
The law goes much further and allows entities who have been harmed by enforcement of the federal law to sue anyone who violated their Second Amendment rights.
I do not recall seeing this approach used before, although it is somewhat similar to what is being proposed in a recent Texas bill. Both bills are awaiting signature by the governors of the respective states. Both governors have said they will sign the bills. Governor Mike Parson has set a date: 12 June at 2 p.m. Governor Abbott of Texas has not set a date. He has until 20 June to sign the Texas bill.

Missouri signed the laws anyway.
Great article, marktwain, and thanks for posting it!
The new laws, by the way, are a positive step forward as revealed in the good and well written article. There’s no good reason for nay-saying comments in the thread. One step forward at a time.
MO has been swinging to the right for some years now. Take out the three big cities and you have a very nice place to live, with very nice people. Like Texas, minus the smug.
This is nuts. The 2nd Amendment states our individual inalienable individual rights in plain English and just 1 sentence. It was written so as athe commoner with a 9th grade education could understand it’s meaning and it is still being debated since it’s being installed!
I look forward to the fight between my Governor and my State AG and the FedGov over our new law. And I am more than eager to answer a call to aid the civil power under arms if it comes time for my state to resist.
