Bill > HB2656

This bill, known as the "Anti-Red Flag Gun Seizure Act," establishes provisions to prevent state and local law enforcement agencies in Missouri from enforcing "red flag laws" - which are laws that allow the temporary or permanent seizure of firearms without a contested court case and a finding of probable cause of criminal activity. The bill prohibits state agencies, political subdivisions, and law enforcement from receiving federal funding to enforce such red flag laws. It also allows individuals who have been subject to red flag law enforcement to pursue legal action and seek damages. The bill is deemed an emergency act to limit federal government overreach and protect citizens' rights to bear arms.
