Bill > HB1050

This bill repeals Section 21.750 of Missouri Revised Statutes, which currently prevents local governments (like counties, cities, towns, and municipalities) from creating their own regulations about firearms, ammunition, and related components. The existing law comprehensively preempts local jurisdictions from adopting any orders, ordinances, or regulations touching on firearms, including aspects like sale, purchase, ownership, transportation, licensing, and registration. By repealing this section, the bill would allow political subdivisions to create their own local firearms-related regulations, potentially giving local governments more flexibility to address firearm issues specific to their communities. The repeal would remove the current blanket prohibition that makes any local firearms regulations automatically null and void, and would eliminate provisions that protect firearms manufacturers from certain types of lawsuits and define firearm-related activities as non-dangerous. This change could potentially lead to more varied local approaches to firearm regulation across Missouri's different jurisdictions.
