Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) in Missouri?

The Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) was a Missouri state law, also known as HB 85, designed to nullify federal gun laws within the state's borders. It aimed to prevent state and local law enforcement from enforcing federal firearms regulations.

Why was Missouri's SAPA law ruled unconstitutional?

A U.S. District Judge ruled SAPA unconstitutional because it violated the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. This clause dictates that federal laws take precedence over conflicting state laws, meaning Missouri could not invalidate federal gun regulations.

What are the broader implications of the SAPA ruling?

The ruling has significant implications beyond just gun rights. It suggests that state laws attempting to nullify federal authority, similar to 'sanctuary city' policies for immigration, may also face constitutional challenges and be deemed invalid.

Who issued the ruling against Missouri's SAPA law?

The ruling was issued by U.S. District Judge Brian Wilms for the Western District of Missouri in a 24-page opinion. The U.S. Justice Department had sought to have the law invalidated.
