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.He signed the bill in front of a large crowd inside Frontier Justice, a gun store and shooting range in Lee’s Summit.
“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. “We are frustrated and disappointed that Governor Parson signed a dangerous bill into law today that ties the hands of law enforcement officers while Missouri is facing one of the worst gun violence epidemics in the country,” said retired Sheriff Rick Walter, a volunteer with the Missouri chapter of Moms Demand Action.
“When people are looking for real solutions on crime, policing and public safety, Governor Parson and the Republican legislature have instead chosen to preserve Missouri’s growing reputation for extremist and dangerous laws,” Quade said in a statement.
kcur What is their malfunction?
kcur Yes let’s withhold federal funds due to the supremacy clause. Then we could withhold money from every state that has medicinal/recreational marijuana and sanctuary cities. Could save a whole lot of money if you ask me.
kcur Hmmm... I wonder when the feds will go after states for voiding federal laws. You know, like declaring themselves sanctuary states, or decriminalization of drugs...
kcur There's a simple solution: expel Missouri from the union. Let's see how Missourians like the Cardinals and the Royals having to play each other all summer.
kcur So let me see if I understand this, Governor is ex- law enforcement, St. Louis has one of the country’s highest murder rates in the country, so let’s just do away with any and all gun laws. Why didn’t you just hand out free guns at Covid vaccination sites, Mo would be 100%
kcur NRA might be folding but their lobby and propaganda machine still seems to be working just fine.
kcur You can thank st louis for that. Takk about fake news.
deray kcur I’m sure they know this will be overturned by the courts as a violation of the Supremacy clause , and they will have a nice shiny new outrage machine to use.
kcur So like nullification? Didn't we already fight a war about this?
kcur Missouri is a DoNotTravel2State
kcur Can’t argue with stupid ! Anyway he can’t invalid any federal law … 🤷♂️
kcur Boss 👌
kcur You can't cure stupid.
kcur Unconstitutional
kcur They don't understand how a federal government works
kcur So this is terrible but I think a van parked outside the federal prison in Missouri should hand out a gun to everyone who wants one.
kcur Sigh...are we really going to do this again 160 years later? Wtf is wrong with people? CivilWarPart2
kcur Why do we allow suicides to be used in calculating gun deaths? We don’t include people hanging themselves in deaths related to being strangled or asphyxiated.
kcur 👇
kcur Enough cops die, they will roll it back. Actually, the GOP blood cult might be all in on that.
kcur Another US state NOT to visit. 🙄
kcur “Missouri law enforcement officials no longer have to execute federal gun laws.” That part is already being done in states where marijuana has been made legal, and also in “sanctuary” states where law enforcement has been directed not to cooperate in immigration enforcement.
kcur thats there way of population control and backing 2nd amendment at same time
kcur Secession? Cool!
kcur Where does Chicago rank for “gun deaths,” as compared to Misdouri, according to the Giffords Law Center?
ItHasBegun2016 kcur The GOP seems to be declaring war. This has to stop.
kcur I guess they want to be number one in something.
kcur Maybe work on stopping St. Louis from being the national murder capital before pulling something like this. Also, states that refuse to adhere to federal law are ineligible for federal funding, something that Parson should really consider for his welfare state.
kcur Hey “Beto” O’Rourke, go to 😏Missouri, knock on the door,tell them your here to take their guns! 😂😂😂
kcur All federal gun laws? So does that mean Felons can carry machine guns now?
kcur I hope these guys understand they can no longer portray themselves as patriots. Unless they have literal brain damage from jacking themselves off constantly.
kcur Supremacy clause overrules state law. GOP* is Anti--Constitution when they feel like it.
kcur Although i'm not a native or inhabitant of Missouri, I fully back their decision on preserving their authority and right to govern their own land. And if the governor feels it appropriate enact decisions based on his discretion that'll benefit the state then so be it!
kcur At this point does anyone care if the mouth breathers kill themselves with bullets or Covid?
kcur Then they shouldn’t receive ANY federal funding from the FEDERAL govt. you’re own your own LOONS!
kcur Idiots.
kcur This guy's face 🤣
kcur If the state of MO can declare federal gun laws unconstitutional, then what will prevent a state resident from declaring a state law unconstitutional using the same argument? Does this mean violent felons can now just buy a gun in the state of MO?
kcur But why? I don't understand this.
kcur Great! Now send the ZERO FEDERAL DOLLARS!!
kcur Missouri citizens, you are letting them subvert democracy for their own gain. Put an end to it.
kcur 10 worst states with law enforcement. 10 worst states where incarceration is a deterrent. 10 best states for lenient laws.
kcur Also, pass a law making it illigeal for anyone from Missouri to cross its state line with a gun. 🤷♂️
kcur Pull all federal aid from Missouri. 👍
kcur We are moving towards a time where everyone has to be armed in order to protect ourselves from all the crazy people with guns.
kcur They’ll now be the safest state. Places with the strictest gun laws are the most dangerous. Criminals love gun laws
kcur Haha, nullification isn’t allowed so this won’t stand.
kcur This bill is illegal.
kcur Pretty sure federal law supercedes state law.
kcur
kcur LOL. I guess he's never heard of the Supremacy Clause. You know, confederates have been trying to declare federal laws invalid since the 1790s. YOU CANT DO THAT.
kcur I see they activated one of the sleeper cells, they will take us out without firing a shot
pamelaleden kcur If memory serves, a few states adopted this posture once before. Secession and insurrection. Time to freeze all federal funding.
kcur wow some of these states should be returned to british
kcur IwriteOK what's your take on this?
kcur Note to self: avoid Missouri at all costs.
kcur
kcur How do we go from Jefferson, Adams, Madison, and Washington to these idiots?
kcur Is there something in the air or water in Missouri that makes people this stupid?
kcur So in other words, it's a rogue state which should not get Federal support. Let Missouri secede from the Union.
kcur Mighty WHITE bunch of MEN. Their grasp of insanity is loosening.
kcur Then don’t take federal money and succeed.
kcur just let them kill each other, it seems to be the will of the people. I will just stay away. Although we have strict gun laws in Chicago and folks are dropping like flies.
kcur 2A does not need the governor's bill for unnecessary preservation. This should fail a rational basis test, even under a conservative Supreme Court.
kcur Better make sure all gun sales/inventory shipments, payments, etc. are solely within the state of MO. Otherwise, its the territory of the Feds. In other words, interstate commerce activities are under federal jurisdiction.
kcur Anyone with a business: please call our Governor and tell him you'll no longer consider moving the business to Missouri or doing business with Missouri.
kcur Does that include the right to bear arms or just all of the laws that stop people from carrying guns? I wonder if an enemy country could have a more effective strategy to destabilize a country.
Vickie627 kcur
kcur Interesting bit of insurrection.
deray kcur gonna be terrible to watch gun violence in surrounding cities and states climb and get traced back to missouri too. totally reckless. dummies. looks like it’s going to be closer to never when i’ll get to see a Royals or Cardinals home game.
kcur Idiots!
kcur Even the Talibans will find this amusing. The term GOPZombies is an apt description for these creatures.
Yeah, it doesn’t work like that. Not that easy
kcur I’m pro 2a, but open to some regulation, but pretty sure you can’t just declare Federal law invalid in a state. This just has a good chance of getting some overzealous enthusiasts in big trouble.
kcur Them loading up the thoughts and prayers preemptively like
kcur Idiots
kcur He doesn’t ever send back Federal funds though.
Want to bet gun laws will still apply to some people, though?
deray kcur White people kill themselves by gun assisted suicide the most in Missouri. This is wild
deray kcur How can they declare federal law invalid
kcur Can they do this? I thought federal laws superceded all local laws.
deray kcur oh boy, can we say Nullification Crisis?
kcur Incest!
kcur Sad
kcur I could be wrong here, but I don't think this law nullifies federal law. It just says local and state governments aren't going to do anything to help enforce federal gun laws.
kcur This is so out of control -for the sake of our country Republicans need to be defeated on every level, local, state and federal
kcur Well done Missouri! Now it’s time to start addressing the problems behind the gun violence. Mental health is a real issue and needs to be confronted.
kcur BadLegalTakes
kcur As a resident of Missouri, I am appalled. We have a Republican supermajority where those of us in the cities (the TAXPAYERS) essentially don't have any representation. moleg is running amok with this, and a lot of other, nonsense.
kcur Obviously when a group of all white men get together and come up with ideas those ideas are bad for all of us. Very, very bad. It's our good fortune that America has a diverse culture that can counteract this. Another argument for more seats at the table making decisions.
kcur Good
kcur Insanity.
kcur Hmmm... Perhaps Missouri should stop receiving any kind of federal funds then...
kcur Well, scratch that trip to st Louis off the list.
kcur Interesting how there are only white men in this picture.
kcur
kcur Someone, and I'm sure a judge will remind them of the supremecy law... federal laws trump state laws... no pun intended
kcur I hate them.
kcur Wow! Look at all of those happy white men.
kcur This is terrible
kcur They like seeing people kill each other.
kcur If you don’t live there why do you care?
kcur Awful lot of white people happy about this.
kcur Yikes!! He’s the devil.
kcur Please come visit all our wonderful attractions. Wonders of Wildlife, Bass Pro Headquarters, Branson, Lake of the Ozark’s. Yes please spend money here. We still support Trump. We will try not to shoot you. Aw shucks, good golly. We are just the salt of the earth here. Simple folk
kcur Ah, yes, the ol' Missouri slapfight...
kcur Time to stop funding sh.thole states
kcur This is unfortunate.
kcur Look at how happy that room full of white guys are...
kcur What … did they secede from the union?
kcur Mmmm, not sure that’s how it works
kcur Then women get to ignore any abortion ban put in place, right?
kcur This newly signed gun bill is just another reason to avoid Missouri all together.
kcur So it is 10th worse state for gun deaths
kcur Missouri is joining Texas as a second world state. Making guns more important than healthcare, infrastructure, idk education.
kcur I see Missouri doesn't understand how the Constitution works...
kcur Gun sanctuary state.
kcur Cool. Freeze all federal spending to Missouri.
kcur Unconstitutional
kcur We had a 4 year debate over nullification from 1861-1865. They can't do this. It's meaningless, and the government should withdraw all federal money from Missouri.
kcur Good luck Missouri If I was selling firearms there, and flouting federal laws, I would be very nervous whether my prospective clients were G-men
kcur We elected Gomor Pyle. This is what we get. This man has very little education he has no experience to do this job. A shooting a day here. I saw a kid carrying in his underwear waist band. I see ar-15 style guns on truck seats. They steal guns from cars here. No reporting.
kcur Jfc. These ppl are insane.
