Bill > HB2064

This bill repeals an existing Missouri state law (Section 21.750) that previously preempted local governments from creating their own regulations regarding firearms, ammunition, and related components. The current law prohibited counties, cities, towns, villages, and other political subdivisions from adopting any ordinances or regulations about firearms, including rules related to sale, purchase, ownership, transportation, licensing, and taxation. By repealing this section, the bill would allow local governments to once again create their own firearm-related regulations, which were previously nullified by the state's comprehensive preemption statute. This means local jurisdictions would regain the ability to establish local ordinances about firearms that might differ from state law, such as restrictions on open carry, firearm discharge within city limits, or other local firearm-related controls. The repeal effectively returns regulatory power over firearms to local governments, removing the state's previous blanket prohibition on local firearm ordinances.
