WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Joe Biden's Justice Department is stepping up its fight against a new state law in Missouri that aims to invalidate many federal gun regulations, saying the measure has impeded law enforcement efforts to work with state and local police and is also unconstitutional.
On Wednesday, the Justice Department filed a statement of interest in an ongoing lawsuit in Cole County, Missouri, saying the state's Second Amendment Preservation Act, also known as "HB85," should be declared unconstitutional and that the court should issue a injunction barring its enforcement.
"HB85 is legally invalid. Under the United States Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, the State of Missouri has no power to nullify federal laws," the department's filing says.
In an accompanying sworn statement, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Special Agent in Charge Frederic Winston said the new law "has already had a significant impact on ATF's partnerships with state and local law enforcement offices," noting that 12 of 53 state and local officers have withdrawn from participation in ATF task forces since the law's enactment.

Ok, then what about narcotics legalization in blue states? Doesn’t that hamper the DEA?
Crickets.
Unless you want to harbor criminal illegal aliens, in which case no problem.
So Rooters reports that any effort to supercede their unconstitutional edicts is unconstitutional. And there’s that talking Justice Department again.
Democrats obey laws if or when they feel like it. We are expected to snap to. This can’t continue.
Liberals declare “sanctuary cities” to get around illegal immigration laws.
States give illegal aliens welfare in violation of federal law.
States have illegal pot laws.
I could go on.
Anybody that cooperates with the feds is a threat to personal liberty.
No gun law or regulation is Constitutional. “Shall not be infringed” does not specify who shall not infringe, therefore, it applies to every entity. It shall NOT BE infringed. Any court ruling that maintains otherwise is prima facie unConstitutional and should not be obeyed.
Again, the democrat party is just the taliban of the west. Consider any democrat an enemy, folks.
“Hey! You’re not infringing enough! Haven’t you read the Constitution?? You are in violation! You must infringe the right to keep and bear arms!”

“HB85 is legally invalid. Under the United States Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, the State of Missouri has no power to nullify federal laws,”
What a joke. The Federal government has no authority to nullify the 2nd Amendment. And that is what any legitimate judge would rule. Missouri is only attempting to put that right in some fashion.
Shall not be infringed!
Someone’s not in compliance, and it sure isn’t Missouri.
