Missouri moves to become a firearms sanctuary state
Timothy Birdnow
Missouri just keeps getting better and better!
There's an upcoming vote in the Missouri Senate that would essentially make the Show Me State into a firearms sanctuary. The Sentinal has the story:
The bill is opposed by many Missouri law enforcement agencies, as they are apt to lose a massive windfall from forfeitures. It was also opposed by the Black Lives Matter Senator Jamilah Nasheed.
The fun thing about this is that it is that it provides for PROSECUTION of Federal gun grabbers! Missouri is effectively seceding from Federal gun legislation.
For all of you down with the blues aka stuck in Blue State America, I would invite you to come to a place where we are at least trying to just say not to Progressive oppression. You're welcome here in Missouri if you want a place where you can decide things for yourself.
If the relentless drive to socialist utopia is to be stopped, it is going to be by the individual states, and by laws like this. If ever America needed state nullification it is now. Let's hope the Governor has the cajones to sign this - and enforce it!
Hat tip; Frederick Berry.
Missouri just keeps getting better and better!
There's an upcoming vote in the Missouri Senate that would essentially make the Show Me State into a firearms sanctuary. The Sentinal has the story:
Like it’s predecessor, SB613, Bill SB367 and it’s companion, House Bill HB786, would prevent all state agencies and their employees from enforcing any federal law that infringes the Second Amendment in any way, including gun registrations, fees, fines, licenses and bans. Originally authored in 2014, a former version of the bill was also passed, but vetoed by then Missouri Governor Jay Nixon.
Pro-Gun Legislation with teeth
A stipulation of the newly passed bill states:
Sponsored
"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 I and 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.â€
For added measure, SB367’s authors went into great detail on what federal laws will be "considered null and void and of no effect.â€
(a) Any tax, levy, fee, or stamp imposed on firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition not common to all other goods and services which might reasonably be expected to create a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens;
(b) Any registering or tracking of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition which might reasonably be expected to create a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens;
(c) Any registering or tracking of the owners of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition which might reasonably be expected to create a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens;
(d) Any act forbidding the possession, ownership, or use or transfer of a firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition by law-abiding citizens; and
(e) Any act ordering the confiscation of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition from law-abiding citizens

I love it! I hope your Senate passes it and your Governor signs it!
One greatly hopes this is the start of a movement. I can't hope this will get any traction in my state (MN) but it might get somewhere in places like Montana, Wyoming, etc.

Nope, we won't. I'm wondering if I need to ask you to build an addition onto the OH for Martha and me to come and move in?

I'd be happy to, Dana, although it may not be quite as nice of accomodations as you guys are used to!
