Missouri has passed its historic SAPA law, which nullifies federal firearms laws in the state and prohibits, with penalties, state law enforcement from assisting federal LE.
Encore!
Only works if the powers that be in MO have cajones to follow through with it. Until some citizen in MO has the state stand up for them in a meaningful way when the FedGov comes after them on a firearms violation its all just posturing.
Boxes. That's what our editorial team was informed was the meaning of cajones.
Here is the one that means, er, spheroids:
Cojones.

So I can't spell. How do you say "spelling NAZI" is Spanish ;-)
This is not about stopping them. It prohibits helping them.
They also passed a gas tax. Hope those 2 bills are not hooked in together somehow. Politicians are scum...
Kmk
I’m not sure what to say. I have to admit to being a little stunned. It sure as hell doesn’t match up with my years and experience in the “show me state”. Maybe things are starting to turn around. I’m too old for such notions.
So then federal laws prohibiting firearms in federal court houses and federal prisons are now null and void in Missouri?

Well this will be interesting. If I'm not mistaken(entirely possible though), MO only bars violent felons from owning a gun while fedgov bars any felon. Does this mean non-violent felons are now free to own a gun in MO? (as long as they don't end up in fed court on fed charge of some sort)
> It sure as hell doesn’t match up with my years and experience in the “show me state”.
Well I have been here for my whole life and quite a few generations before me, and was a democrat, and had a lot of dem family members. What I think happened is just part of the whole shift of the South from conservative Democrat to conservative / libertarian Republican. Unfortunately we have a couple of large cities, which foul the entire situation, but outstate has been winning and going constitutional for quite a few years, as rich suburban counties have gone the other way.
> also passed a gas tax
Don’t know. There was plenty of chicanery on the R side despite veto-override strength of the vote in the Senate (House was overwhelming on this one!). R “leadership” (student council holdovers) delayed till the last minute.
Some of the same people pushing for this SAPA law will be calling the governor to veto the gas tax while they advise him to sign the SAPA. His signature is expected because it was straight party line vote in Senate and because he’s was a sheriff and the Senate dealth with the sheriff’s association’s objections without gutting the bill.
The sheriff association represents that half of the sheriffs didn’t like the bill, but that seems very unlikely. Student council / mafia-style “leadership” you know.
> Only works if the powers that be in MO have cajones to follow through with it.
The balls seem to have been possessed by 2A supporters and patriots in the state, and a few seemingly very good legislators.
This will give our best sheriffs encouragement. They can then encourage the weak ones to grow some.
Big suburbs have neutered the sheriffs in favor of “police” but they do have to kowtow to state law in our state.
I'm located in East Central Missouri and Dave Schatz is the senator in my district and that SOB has pushed for a gas tax ever since he first entered the state capitol, first as a rep and now as a senator. He's bought and paid for by companies deeply invested in the transportation sector. Well they can't get the people of Missouri to vote yes on increasing taxes so they dug and they dug to figure out a way around us and it was by passing a tax that is incremental; this was to get around that nasty Hancock Amendment.
They are scum. Passing a new tax during an inflationary period is proof that they care nothing for the constituents. Senator Jim Lembke said yesterday that there are record revenues coming into Missouri's coffers. This tax is a blatant FU to us.

Dizzgusting.
