What is the Supremacy Clause and how does it relate to SAPA?

The Supremacy Clause establishes that the U.S. Constitution and federal laws made pursuant to it are the supreme law of the land. The 8th Circuit ruled that SAPA conflicted with federal law, making it void under the Supremacy Clause.

What action is Missouri taking in response to the SAPA ruling and local ordinances?

Missouri's Attorney General is seeking Supreme Court review of the 8th Circuit's decision. Additionally, the state is suing Jackson County for passing an ordinance that allegedly violates state law and the Second Amendment by banning firearm possession for those under 21.
