Frequently Asked Questions

What is Missouri's Second Amendment Preservation Act?

Missouri's Second Amendment Preservation Act, passed in 2021, aims to protect Second Amendment rights by restricting state and local law enforcement from enforcing federal laws deemed inconsistent with the Second Amendment, using the Tenth Amendment as a basis.

Why did the Supreme Court deny Missouri's stay request for its 2A Preservation Act?

The Supreme Court denied Missouri's stay request in an 8-1 decision, likely due to the legal precedent set in Whole Woman's Health v. Jackson, which limits injunctions against states when enforcement relies on private citizens rather than state officials.

What is the current status of Missouri's Second Amendment Preservation Act?

Although the Supreme Court denied a stay, Missouri's Second Amendment Preservation Act is now fast-tracked for review by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, with oral arguments scheduled for February 16th, on a panel that appears favorable to the state's position.

How does Missouri's 2A law compare to Texas's SB8?

Both Missouri's Second Amendment Preservation Act and Texas's SB8 (abortion law) utilize a private enforcement mechanism, allowing individual citizens to sue those who violate the law, rather than relying on state officials for enforcement, which makes them harder to enjoin.
