Missouri's governor signed a bill that declares federal gun laws invalid. This would, in effect, allow an average citizen in Missouri to own automatics/suppressors. Similar legislation already exists in Montana, but there's no guarantee the federal government won't get involved.

Gov. Mike Parson signed legislation Saturday that invalidates federal gun laws in Missouri.
Missouri law enforcement officials no longer have to execute federal gun laws.

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson signed a bill Saturday that declares all federal gun laws past, present and future must be invalid in the state.This includes taxing, tracking and registration of weapons.

The bill is called the “Second Amendment Preservation Act.”

He signed the bill in front of a large crowd inside Frontier Justice, a gun store and shooting range in Lee’s Summit.

Parson, a former sheriff, said the purpose of this legislation is to stand up to the federal government.

“We’re going to do things to make sure you don’t overreach your authority from the federal government,” he said, while seated at a desk in front of a large display of firearms.

The bill would bar local police from assisting federal agents in enforcing federal laws. And it allows for a $50,000 lawsuit against anyone who knowingly acts under any federal or state law to deprive a Missouri citizen of their Second Amendment rights.
