The bill seeks to repeal multiple sections of Missouri law and introduces the "Second Amendment Preservation Act," which asserts the state's authority to reject federal laws that infringe upon firearm rights. It prohibits state officials and employees from assisting in the enforcement of federal laws that exceed the federal government's powers regarding firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition. The bill also includes a declaration from the General Assembly affirming its commitment to uphold the U.S. Constitution and the rights of states, declaring any federal actions that restrict firearm rights in Missouri as unauthorized and void. Furthermore, the bill emphasizes that the federal government's powers to regulate commerce or tax and spend do not extend to limiting citizens' rights to keep and bear arms. It establishes civil penalties for political subdivisions or law enforcement agencies that violate these provisions and defines key terms such as "law-abiding citizen" and "material aid and support." The provisions of the bill will apply to offenses occurring on or after August 28, 2026, and it includes a severability clause to maintain the enforceability of remaining provisions if any part is found invalid.
