The Pirate’s CoveHmmmm
(Washington Times) In Missouri, legislation has been introduced to nullify every federal gun control measure on the books, “whether past, present or future.”
The 2nd Amendment Preservation Act, introduced as Senate Bill 613 (SB613) for the 2014 legislative session by Sen. Brian Nieves, follows on the heels of a failed effort to do the same in 2013.
The bill states, in part:
All federal acts, laws, executive orders, administrative orders, court orders, rules, and regulations, whether past, present, or future, which infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States I, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution shall be invalid in this state, shall not be recognized by this state, shall be specifically rejected by this state, and shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this state.
State employees would be barred from enforcing federal firearms laws that violate the act, and could even see agents, including federal agents, who violate the law jailed.
This is interesting in that the bill is meant to stand up for State’s Rights, as portrayed by that pesky 10th Amendment, and reduce the power of the Federal government, as the system was meant to be.

Hurray finally some good news to cheer about. As more and more states nullify the ridiculous laws and executive orders from our government we are all starting to understand just what our founding fathers were talking about when it comes to tyranny.
Let’s hope it gets passed and most importantly, actually enforced.
I have always been a fan of jury nullification and this is of the same ilk,best of luck Missouri.When the feds then threaten to with hold funds with hold citizen/business taxes headed towards fed,keep the money with the folks who earned it,let them decide what they can afford and need from govt.I hope other states start doing the same things on many levels,not just firearms but is a great place to start!
