Justice Dept.: Missouri governor can't void federal gun laws

[bigrebnc1775]

It would be nice if conservatives would at least READ the US Constitution before they pass laws that won't be upheld upon a court challenge, thereby wasting everyone's time in the process. Instead, it would be nice if they spent their time actually working to get things done for the people. But I guess that's too much to ask..

Justice Dept.: Missouri governor can't void federal gun laws​

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is warning Missouri officials that the state can’t ignore federal law, after the governor signed a bill last week that bans police from enforcing federal gun rules.

In a letter sent Wednesday night and obtained by The Associated Press, Justice officials said the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause outweighs the measure that Gov. Mike Parson signed into law Saturday. The new rules penalize local police departments if their officers enforce federal gun laws.

Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton said the law threatens to disrupt the working relationship between federal and local authorities, they said in the letter, noting that Missouri receives federal grants and technical assistance.

“The public safety of the people of the United States and citizens of Missouri is paramount,” Boynton wrote in the letter.

President Joe Biden has made gun control laws a priority of his administration, and the House has passed two bills requiring background checks on firearms sales and an expanded review for gun purchases, though they face a tough road in the Senate. But states, including Missouri, have increasingly worked to loosen gun laws, including abandoning requirements that people get training and pass background checks to carry concealed handguns.


Missouri’s law would subject law enforcement agencies with officers who knowingly enforce any federal laws to a fine of about $50,000 per violating officer.

Republican lawmakers who worked to pass the bill have said they were motivated by the potential of more restrictive gun laws in the Biden administration. But state Democrats have argued the law is unconstitutional and have predicted it would not pass a challenge in the courts.

The Justice Department argued in the letter that the state lacks the authority to shield any Missouri businesses or citizens from federal law or to prevent federal law enforcement officials from carrying out their duties.

Boynton said the bill “conflicts with federal firearms laws and regulation” and federal law would supersede the state’s new statute. He said federal agents and the U.S. attorney’s offices in the state would continue to enforce all federal firearms laws and regulations. He asked that Parson and Eric Schmitt, the state’s attorney general, clarify the law and how it would work in a response by Friday.

Six states have passed legislation removing or weakening concealed-carry permit requirements this year, most recently Texas, where Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill Wednesday. About 20 states now allow people to carry concealed weapons without a license. At least three other states have passed legislation banning police from enforcing federal gun laws, a preemptive shot at any new measures passed by Democrats.

"Sanctuary cities" have been instructing their police to ignore federal immigration law for years, so you can fuck right off with that bullshit.

Only the feds have immigration and naturalization laws.

and states were telling their law enforcement agencies to ignore those laws.

Sanctuary cities?

By the way, DOJ doesn't make the law.

Missouri can refuse to cooperate with the federal government. But a $50,000 fine for those who do is where their argument broke.

it never stopped California from ignoring immigration laws.
And FYI shall not be infringed means just that
So if anyone is violating the Constitution would be the federal government

Actually, huge difference. Selective enforcement is well recognized as a power that any law enforcement agency has.

But actually punitive fines for following the law? That's where Missouri crossed the line. That's where their law became unenforceable.

And why they lost.....while Sanctuary Cities remain.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Bad news sunshine. The FEDS are NOT permitted to violate the Constitution.

Violate the constitution.....according to who?

Spoiler alert: its not you.

Spoiler alert. It is also NOT YOU.

This will be appealed and overturn.

I'm not quoting me. I'll stick with the DOJ and the courts.

And the laws that will get you penalties in Missouri if you enforce are thoroughly legal according to both.

So I ask again, 'violate the constitution' according to who?

According to an intellectual reading of the Constitution.

Again, this will be appealed and overturned.

I doubt the feds have the balls to sue. Far too much to lose. Their own selective enforcement of laws would be center piece to the case. Along with over reach.

There's a difference between refusing to cooperate (which is selective enforcement) and punitively fining someone for following the law.

That's where Missouri crossed the line. They have the power to refuse to cooperate with feds on gun laws. They don't have the authority to fine officers $50,000 for abiding federal law.

HB 85 or the Second Amendment Preservation Act was signed into law by MO Governor Mike Pasron on Saturday at a gun store and shooting range called Frontier Justice.

The law declares federal laws and regulations "that infringe on the people's right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment must be invalid in this state."

Parson said in a press release release that the legislation "draws a line in the sand and demonstrates our commitment to reject any attempt by the federal government to circumvent the fundamental right Missourians have to keep and bear arms to protect themselves and their property."

Texas should declare machine guns legal to purchase and own by residents of Texas and tell the DOJ to suck a fat dick and to try and stop it!

Why not missile launchers than can bring down planes? Why not nuclear weapons. I mean, they're all 'arms', according to you, yes?

we should have those also,,, cant defend a country with slingshots,,,

So you're advocating for the private ownership and use of missile launchers and nuclear weapons by private citizens?

why is it you idiots always go to the most extreme with the nuke bullshit??

if it were me they wouldnt exist,, but since they do you dont have a problem with just democrats and republicans having them,, me not so much,,

as for the rest of the personal arms issue,, we should be allowed to have what ever can be used against us,, not sure how you protect a country with slingshots,,

It would be nice if conservatives would at least READ the US Constitution before they pass laws that won't be upheld upon a court challenge, thereby wasting everyone's time in the process. Instead, it would be nice if they spent their time actually working to get things done for the people. But I guess that's too much to ask..

Justice Dept.: Missouri governor can't void federal gun laws​

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is warning Missouri officials that the state can’t ignore federal law, after the governor signed a bill last week that bans police from enforcing federal gun rules.

In a letter sent Wednesday night and obtained by The Associated Press, Justice officials said the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause outweighs the measure that Gov. Mike Parson signed into law Saturday. The new rules penalize local police departments if their officers enforce federal gun laws.

Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton said the law threatens to disrupt the working relationship between federal and local authorities, they said in the letter, noting that Missouri receives federal grants and technical assistance.

“The public safety of the people of the United States and citizens of Missouri is paramount,” Boynton wrote in the letter.

President Joe Biden has made gun control laws a priority of his administration, and the House has passed two bills requiring background checks on firearms sales and an expanded review for gun purchases, though they face a tough road in the Senate. But states, including Missouri, have increasingly worked to loosen gun laws, including abandoning requirements that people get training and pass background checks to carry concealed handguns.

Missouri’s law would subject law enforcement agencies with officers who knowingly enforce any federal laws to a fine of about $50,000 per violating officer.

Republican lawmakers who worked to pass the bill have said they were motivated by the potential of more restrictive gun laws in the Biden administration. But state Democrats have argued the law is unconstitutional and have predicted it would not pass a challenge in the courts.

The Justice Department argued in the letter that the state lacks the authority to shield any Missouri businesses or citizens from federal law or to prevent federal law enforcement officials from carrying out their duties.

Boynton said the bill “conflicts with federal firearms laws and regulation” and federal law would supersede the state’s new statute. He said federal agents and the U.S. attorney’s offices in the state would continue to enforce all federal firearms laws and regulations. He asked that Parson and Eric Schmitt, the state’s attorney general, clarify the law and how it would work in a response by Friday.

Six states have passed legislation removing or weakening concealed-carry permit requirements this year, most recently Texas, where Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill Wednesday. About 20 states now allow people to carry concealed weapons without a license. At least three other states have passed legislation banning police from enforcing federal gun laws, a preemptive shot at any new measures passed by Democrats.

That is an OPINION by the justice department. The constitution specifies NO RESTRICTIONS specifically on gun ownership so wtf are you referring to in the constitution and implying that the right doesn't understand it?
The current administration can not impose restrictions that overrule specifically outlined constitutional rights. I mean they obviously can but that does not make them right or law binding until a court arbitrates the legality of the issue.

What part do you not understand about the fact that individual states cannot choose to override federal law and cannot pass laws in an attempt to do so?

what part dont you understand?? it says SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED,,

maybe you should read the constitution at least once,,

Then take it to the courts. But the laws being enforced have been thoroughly adjudicated, my little Sovereign Citizen.

You don't get to ignore them just because you want to all Judge Dredd and insist that 'I am the law!'

I prefer to just ignore them,,,

Sovereign citizens usually do. Which works out as well it does for most criminals......

.....until they get caught.

nothing wrong with a little civil disobedience,,

As long as you're willing to pay the price.

Just remember, you have to serve a minimum of 85% of a federal prison term.

Even if you insist that the law you were arrested, tried and convicted for violating is 'unconstitutional'.

only if you get caught,,

Indeed. You'd be like any other criminal who hasn't been caught yet. Free and accountability free until you suddenly aren't.

From the same school of thought that gravity doesn't apply to you after you jump off a cliff because you haven't hit the ground yet.

Good luck with that.

thats stupid,,,

you have to actually commit a crime for them to even talk to you,,, gravity is a whole different deal,,

Violating federal law is indeed a crime. Even if you insist that its only constitutional if you say so.

Good luck with jump off that cliff. You won't have to worry about gravity in the slightest......until you suddenly do.

its only against the law if you get caught,, and as I said,, unless I commit a crime they feds have nothing to talk to me about,,

If you are a Democrat you should not complain since such disagreements add to the chaos Democrats are plying for in order to shake down the Constitution and make this free nation a communist citizen slave state. We will fight for our freedom if you steal more presidential, house, and senate seats from our candidates. We are locked and loaded to shoot down all that cheating Democrats have been bragging about to each other under the guise of omeurta oaths.

And by 'steal', you mean win?

In case you're curious why self identifiction of being GOP has collapsed....its the sniveling, whining, and sore losing.

Criminals in the House, Senate, and a billion dollar extortionist in the white house who bragged on his extortion in full video. You may take pride in this scandalous cheater's paradise, but you will regret it on judgment day.

This is incorrect.
If you read the Constitution, the 9th and 10th amendment clearly say that congress can only pass laws on areas where congress has been explicitly be authorized to do so by the Constitution.
And the only mention of firearms in the Constitution, is the 2nd amendment which apparently prohibits any and all federal firearm jurisdiction.

Not only can Missouri void federal gun laws, but anyone sworn to uphold the constitution has to.
The constitution clearly gave absolutely zero firearms jurisdiction to the federal government.
The law is quite clear, and the federal government is clearly in violation of the constitution, which is superior to Congress.

Wrong.
Federal law does not have legal jurisdiction unless the federal constitution says so, and the federal constitution is absolutely clear there are to be no federal firearm laws at all.

In a letter sent Wednesday night and obtained by The Associated Press, Justice officials said the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause outweighs the measure that Gov. Mike Parson signed into law Saturday.

Of course it does.

This is Constitutional law 101 – see also Cooper v. Aaron (1958); Federal laws and rulings made by Federal courts are the supreme law of the land, laws that states and local jurisdictions are subject to.

This idiotic rightwing nonsense about Second Amendment ‘sanctuary’ states is meritless political theater.

Wrong.

Federal law only trumps state law when both have equal jurisdiction.
But since the federal government is totally bared any and all firearms jurisdiction, then there can be no legal federal firearm laws at all.

This is like when the federal government passed the 55 mph speed limit law.
Lots of states just laughed at the feds because that was not legal.
There can be no federal speed limit law.
Traffic with in a state is totally under state jurisdiction.

Oh, I am enjoying the cops faces in Missouri now that felons can carry...

Wrong.
It is always state law that determines if a convicted felon can possess firearms or not.
There are many where they can, but not Missouri.
{...
In 2008, the Missouri legislature altered the laws in regard to convicted felons and firearms. Under this law, convicted felons may not posses any firearm, including concealed handguns, shotguns or rifles, even for hunting purposes. However, convicted felons, once released, are legally allowed to own and operate bows and arrows for the purpose of hunting. Under the law prior to 2008, convicted felons were allowed to use rifles and shotguns for hunting once they completed their sentence, including probation and/or parole.
