This whole thing is unconstitutional. Federal Gun Laws in Missouri can’t just be pushed aside.
It’s like the Supremacy Clause means nothing! 😳

This is dangerous bill (now law) attempts to nullify federal public safety laws in Missouri as well as prohibit state and local law enforcement officers from assisting in the enforcement of those laws. 😑

This law also Defunds Missouri Police to the tune of $50,000.00 *minimum* when they attempt to enforce Federal Gun Laws.💰

Missouri Police & Sheriffs are opposed to statewide Nullification of Federal Firearms Laws. 👮🏻

Missouri Lawmakers from *BOTH PARTIES* received threats while debating this bill.
Threats were made by people *in support of* Federal Firearm Nullification. 😵

When the Federal Firearm Nullification bill passed, a pile of Long Guns & Pistols was proudly displayed in the Missouri State Capitol for a press conference celebration announcement. 🤦🏽‍♀️

There’s always more:
Thanks for Nullification of Fed Gun Laws are going to Columbia Missouri Police Chief (never actually been a COMO Police Officer) who posted so many offensive & divisive (ie: racist) things on the official COPA Facebook page, that he was blocked.

Missouri Firearms Coalition is also credited w/ helping Nullify Federal Gun Laws in Missouri.

The Dorr Bros have been grifting their way across the Midwest w/ their brand of Extremist Gun Culture

Remember the threats Missouri lawmakers were getting from supporters of Federal Gun Law Nullification?

Here’s what was happening on the MO Firearm Coalition Facebook Page when all that went down…

How extreme is the Mo Firearms Coalition?

More extreme than the @NRA

❌Extreme enough to idolize
& celebrate the “Killdozer” rampage & Gun Suicide 🤦🏽‍♀️

Y’all-Missouri’s Gun Violence culture is Exhausting…

But here’s the thing:
We’ve got SO MANY good people working to make things safer.
