Yesterday, a Missouri Senate committee held a hearing on a bill that would set the foundation to create a “gun rights sanctuary state” by banning state and local enforcement of most federal gun control. Passage into law would represent a major step toward ending federal acts that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms within the state in practice and effect.
Sen. Eric Burlison (R-Battlefield) introduced Senate Bill 588 (SB588) on Jan 8. Titled the “Second Amendment Preservation Act,” the legislation would ban any person, including any public officer or employee of the state and its political subdivisions, from enforcing any past, present or future federal “acts, laws, executive orders, administrative orders, court orders, rules, or regulations” that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms.
On Feb. 13, the Senate Transportation, Infrastructure and Public Safety Committee held a hearing on SB588. A number of people testified in favor of the bill, including a former police officer and judge who serves as executive director of the Columbia Police Officers Association. He explained how the proposed law would actually protect police officers who refuse to cooperate with unconstitutional federal gun control. The only testimony against the bill came from a representative of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. An activist present at the hearing called her testimony “ineffective.”
