Bill > SB1099

This bill establishes a state-level declaration protecting Second Amendment rights by explicitly rejecting certain federal firearms regulations. Specifically, the bill declares that any federal law, order, or regulation that restricts citizens' rights to bear arms is an invalid attempt to control people, and that Missouri will not assist in enforcing such restrictions. The bill invalidates federal regulations concerning specific types of firearms, including automatic weapons, weapon frames or receivers that can be converted to automatic weapons, and parts that can assemble such weapons. The legislation defines these restrictions as violations of citizens' constitutional rights and mandates that Missouri courts and law enforcement agencies actively protect residents' rights to keep and bear arms, effectively creating a state-level nullification of certain federal gun control measures. The bill emphasizes that the right to bear arms is fundamentally tied to personal freedom and that federal attempts to limit this right are a breach of the trust between government and citizens.
