Also considering a pair of bills that similarly take aim at the federal government’s assault on civilian ownership of firearms.
The “Second Amendment Preservation Act”

This will have the most effect on municipalities and county ordinaces. Since it is a state legislation, there may be state constitutional challenges to the law.

It would have been much better for MO if they passed a state consitutional amendment.

Here they will run into problems. Most likely the bills will not pass because legislators will determin that a state law does not trump Federal code.

I'm sure their voters will take that into account when they vote on the issue in November.
