Missouri passed legislation which took effect in 2021, barring police from enforcing federal gun laws that aren’t already on the books in the state. The law also allows citizens to sue police departments if they do for $50,000 each time. This means that parts of the recent gun control legislation passed in Congress may not be able to be enforced in Missouri.

Missouri Law Clashes With New Gun Legislation Passed By Congress
source
no such thing as gun crime
The new federal law is unconstitutional.
Here are some facts for our WOKE news idiots. Not hypothetical fairy dust gun laws they believe will save the world or biased opinion. Just FACTS! FBI stats show that people use firearms more often for self-defense than in crimes. Knives are used in murders and assaults FAR more often than guns. FBI stats also show that of the 10,258 homicides by guns in 2019, only 364 were by rifles/long guns of ALL types. Though I cannot find a breakdown in the number of homicides with an AR 15 vs shotguns vs hunting rifles etc., I think as prevalent as shotguns are, they would rank very high in this number. But just for sh#&s and giggles let's say the AR15 accounts for a full 50% of deaths by "long guns." That means the AR15 was only used in 182 out of 10,258 gun related homicides! That's 1.77% of gun related homicides! Those numbers tell me, and anyone with 20% functioning brain, that there are much higher priorities than the scary AR15 if we want to get serious about homicides!!! Europe, as a whole, has almost completely disarmed their citizens yet they have a higher rate of mass shootings. per capita, than the US. They also hold the unenviable title of the highest number of people killed, mostly teenagers, in a single mass shooting EVER! And the shooter did NOT have an AR15 or an AK47. BTW, virtually EVERY mass shooting occurs in GUN FREE ZONES! Let that sink in.
People will not stand
I love how NBC is suddenly “pro police” because they agree on gun control… Criminals are still prohibited from having firearms in the state of Missouri! They’re making up this correlation with crime and gun laws
State laws still prohibit a large array of behaviors with firearms. Criminals can still prosecute those on the state level. What prohibiting federal law is doing is preventing federal assault weapons bans which are entirely irrelevant in preventing gun crime.
MY FINANCIAL GOAL IS TO BE MAKING AT LEAST UP TO $1,000,000 EVERY YEAR BY INVESTING HEAVILY BOTH IN CRYPTO AND STOCK. I NEED GUIDIANCE. please comment below..
The legislation clashes with the Constitution, just like the crap they’re gonna try next, so it’s null and void.
When was the last time that politician arrested a criminal….he never has,! Face it, MO. politicians are on the take, money is changing hands and the biggest criminals are the politicians.
Great video. you've remind me of what someone once said❤The richest people in the world build networks; everyone else is trained to look for work.” “There is a difference between being poor and being broke. I once attended similar and ever since then i been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..
Most perpetrators of gun crime have a long criminal record, and are on the streets only because of revolving-door ""justice"" systems maintained by Soros-supported prosecutors.
Start treating gun crime seriously, and take these thugs off the streets for good, then watch gun crime plummet.
Law enforcement job is to respect the Constitution and the Second Amendment the federal government can't force Missouri to enforce federal gun control !!
As a morally superior progressive liberal Democrat genius I think that all law abiding citizens guns need to be confiscated immediately, we Democrats know it's much harder to get them from criminals so we need to get the low hanging fruit 1st, law abiding citizens, right my fellow genius DemonRats?
it amazes me how these pro guns morons claims they support our law officers, yet they actively put our law officers in harm's way to these high powered guns
Sounds like this cop is a lazy commie , a criminal with a gun is still against Missouri law any way you look at it , go do your job cop , or are you scared of the gang bangers
Repeal the Second Amendment.
2:50 – Hey Chief Jones, I don't depend on you or law enforcement to keep me safe. That's my responsibility.
How much you wanna bet the police chief is a Democrat?
this is an outrage…
you can't thake away the most important thing for a merican…
more G un, more FUN… yeehaww…
Thanks to these stupid state legislatures… just let more people in these red states die from gun violence
From My Cold Dead Hand. You Go Missouri.
We need to be able to officially classify firearms so we can all be on the same page when discussing the problems. We should all understand what differentiates a handgun from an AR-15, “assault rifle”, “automatic”, and “semi-auto”, or “assault weapon”. I feel like our debate gets so hung up on terminology.
Let’s get terminology right, then discuss.
When you're lazy and want ot he rs to do your job hey it is what it is?
Keep in mind this is the same police department that covered up one of their officers shooting his ex wife in the chest at point blank range .
Will NBC be turning their attention to California and New York ignoring and trying to work around the latest Supreme Court ruling that gives law abiding citizens a right to carry arms? LOL
The NRA snake did this. You can see it on the legislators face that the NRA paid him.
"Assault weapon" is a political definition based on accessories, it's not an actual thing, do your research.
An assault weapon is based on:
-A collapsible stock,
-A pistol grip,
-A end threaded barrel that can attach a compensator.
You can have the exact same weapon with:
-a solid stock,
-no pistol grip,
-no threading at the end of the barrel.
And it magically becomes a regular rifle.
It's not a real thing
So, the state law is driven by tic for tac politics while ,real, lives are at serious risk- those officials are dangerously incompetent. 🏆
Good for Missouri
These pro gun lawmakers will never understand until they lose loved ones to gun violence
I personally don't believe any civilian needs to own an assault rifle or machine gun,you don't need either to hunt food or protect yourself and home. However,have as many hand guns/rifles/shot guns as you feel needed. Load your shot gun Bird,buck,slug for home defense,carry as many pistols that law will allow and hunt with your rifle and shot gun. If you have the time to raise your AR or machine gun in self defense,you will have the same affect with your pistol 95% of any situation.
How many of those guns are legal? Gun control laws does not make a dofference. This is very biased news. There is always another side to the coin that never gets looked at.
Another reason to buy another gun and ammunition. Or you can suckle up to the good old government and pray they'll babysit you.
Maybe they will come to their senses when enough people get killed. I should say enough middle class white people that is.
YES. I won't lie to you, I absolutely want to take your AR-15 away from you.
NO GUNS!!! NO GUNS!!! NO GUNS!!! HOLD REPUBLICANS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR BLOODSHED!!!!! NO GUNS!!! CHOOSE WOMEN NOT GUNS!!! NO GUNS!!! NO GUNS!!! NO GUNS!!!
Missouri is a joke of a state anyways. Amend the 2nd Amendment
Sorry yankies, you're better off with the guns. USA is different to other western fmr colonial colonies & European nations. There seem to be more crime, more psychos, There 's way to many guns to just destroy them all. The only people who'd have guns are criminals and government, both are corrupt.
Good for Missouri
It’s close to your house because the culture in your community is dysfunctional. Don’t take away my constitutional rights because a dysfunctional culture insists on committing crimes. Ban the ghettoculture not my constitutional rights.
Good States standing up the federal government
This is just pro police copaganda bs. Shall not be infringed is crystal clear
Conservatives are fighting for mass shooters.
MissouriMisery is a STUPID state to start with. You have to SHOW Them in the "Show Me State" EVERYTHING because they are so slow mentally.Repent Matthew chapter 24 Bible prophecies fulfilling repent vain is the help of man
Will the cops in his state refuse to do their jobs if they hear an AR-15?
It's embarrassing that I'm from Missouri. These morons are praying for a gunfight. Powerless people with an addiction to a powerful tool and vengeful attitude.
