Frequently Asked Questions

What was the Supreme Court's recent order regarding Second Amendment Preservation Acts?

The Supreme Court issued an 8-1 denial order, refusing to grant emergency review to a state's challenge concerning its Second Amendment Preservation Act. This means the lower court's federal injunction against the law remains in effect.

Why is Missouri introducing a new Second Amendment Protection Law (SAPA 2.0)?

Missouri is introducing SAPA 2.0 because the Trump DOJ failed to uphold its promise to the Supreme Court to narrow a federal injunction against the original SAPA. This inaction prompted state legislators to act independently to protect state non-enforcement of federal gun laws.

What are the two main bills in Missouri's SAPA 2.0 legislative effort?

The two main bills are Senate Bill 858 (SB 858), a hardline approach that maintains strong prohibitions and penalties against state cooperation with federal enforcement, and Senate Bill 955 (SB 955), a more moderate bill that allows for more cooperation and reduces civil liability for law enforcement.

How do the new SAPA 2.0 bills differ from the original law?

The new SAPA 2.0 bills, SB 858 and SB 955, focus on the state's constitutional right to refuse participation in federal enforcement actions that may violate the Second Amendment, rather than attempting to declare federal laws invalid within state borders.
