A three-judge panel of the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with a district court ruling from last year that blocked Missouri from enforcing the Second Amendment Preservation Act, a law passed in 2021 that penalizes police for enforcing certain federal gun laws.

Among the law’s provisions is a $50,000 fine for law enforcement agencies that“ infringe” on Missourians’ Second Amendment rights.

The Missouri law is correct.

The lower courts are wrong, and even if SCOTUS accepts the appeal and agrees with the lower courts, well SCOTUS has been wrong numerous times. Dred Scott, Plessey, Koramatsu, Roe, are four easy ones where SCOTUS was wrong.

It's all stupid and another example of politicians pontificating over nothing.

We are discussing Federal Laws. Local law enforcement does not enforce Federal Laws. They could only enforce state laws.

If you have an issue with Federal Laws you need to get your reps to change them or get them in front of the Supreme Court.

This law in actual use did absolutely nothing. The state wouldn't be able to "fine" a Federal Law enforcement officer from enforcing federal law either.
