This video details the legal challenges and eventual unconstitutionality ruling against Missouri's Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA). SAPA aimed to limit local law enforcement's enforcement of federal gun laws, imposing fines for violations. A federal judge declared it unconstitutional, citing the Supremacy Clause, and the Supreme Court denied an emergency stay, highlighting the ongoing tension between state and federal authority in firearms regulation.
Iowa is considering the Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA), mirroring Missouri's law, which would penalize local law enforcement for enforcing federal gun laws. This bill, supported by groups like Iowa Gun Owners, aims to protect citizens from potential federal overreach, particularly concerning ATF regulations. The legislation has passed a subcommittee and is moving forward, with proponents citing its potential to deter federal gun control measures.
