SCOTUS Won’t Lift Block On Red State Law Preventing Police From Enforcing Federal Gun Laws
The state asked the justices early October to block a federal court’s ruling against its Second Amendment Preservation Act, which exposes local police that aid in the enforcement of certain federal gun laws to up to $50,000 penalties. The justices declined to do so in a brief order Friday.
“Like many States, Missouri has disagreements with the Federal Government about the correct interpretation of the Second Amendment—and thus how to interpret and enforce certain federal firearms statutes,” Missouri wrote in its application. “In light of this Court’s recent Second Amendment decisions, the Missouri General Assembly believes that a small number of federal statutes may be unconstitutional; that the doctrine in this area is changing…and that Missouri officials ought to strive to comply with the Second Amendment to the maximum extent possible.”
