Supreme Court Issues 8-1 Decision Denying Second Amendment Preservation Act Protections!!! What Now?
The Supreme Court has denied a stay on Missouri's Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) with an 8-1 decision, leaving the law blocked while the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals reviews its constitutionality. SAPA, passed as HB85 in 2021, aimed to prevent Missouri officials from aiding federal enforcement of gun laws deemed inconsistent with the Second Amendment, leveraging the 10th Amendment. The legal challenge hinges on whether the federal government has standing to sue, a point Missouri's defense is contesting by citing precedent from 'Arc of Iowa v. Reynolds'. If the 8th Circuit rules in Missouri's favor on standing, the entire SAPA law could be reinstated.
