Missouri enacted a fabulous law – the “Second Amendment Preservation Act” (SAPA).
SAPA is a law in the spirit of the Tenth Amendment, providing a sanctuary for gun owners and Second Amendment rights. It prohibits state and local participation enforcement of unconstitutional laws. Simply put, the Feds have to do the dirty work themselves.

We’re filing a brief in this case. More details, including our winning arguments, can be found here…
