WLBT reports that Parson signed HB 85, the “Second Amendment Preservation Act,” at 2 p.m. The Act “prohibits the enforcement of federal gun laws by local law enforcement agencies.”
Parson said:
Throughout my law enforcement career and now as Governor of the state of Missouri, I have and always will stand for the Constitution and our Second Amendment rights. This legislation today draws a line in the sand and demonstrates our commitment to reject any attempt by the federal government to circumvent the fundamental right Missourians have to keep and bear arms to protect themselves and their property.
