Frequently Asked Questions

What was Missouri's Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA)?

SAPA, passed in 2021, aimed to prevent Missouri law enforcement from assisting federal agencies in enforcing gun control laws that allegedly violated the Second Amendment. It also allowed citizens to sue agencies for violations.

Why did the DOJ sue Missouri over SAPA?

The Biden administration's DOJ, led by Merrick Garland, sued Missouri, asserting that SAPA violated the Supremacy Clause. They argued the state law interfered with federal enforcement of the National Firearms Act (NFA) and other ATF actions.

What was the outcome of the legal challenge to SAPA?

Federal courts, including the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, struck down SAPA. The Supreme Court's refusal to hear Missouri's appeal made these rulings final, effectively ending the state's shield against federal gun control enforcement.

What are the potential implications of SAPA being struck down?

The DOJ's success against SAPA could set a precedent for challenging similar laws in other states. This may lead to increased federal enforcement of gun control, potentially requiring state cooperation.
