Because Missouri’s pre-emption law has no penalty section, blue cities/counties are violating the law and passing their own gun control regulations. In Jackson County, it’s now ‘illegal’ for anyone under 21 to own a firearm or ammunition in most cases!
Thankfully, Representative Durnell has filed legislation for us to fix this by putting civil penalties into our pre-emption law.
Their legislation (HB-726) also strips away these cities’ ability to regulate open carry. They’ve abused this for far too long.
This bill has been heard in the House General Laws Committee — now they need to move the bill!
Help us do that. Send your pre-written email urging the members of the Committee to move this bill out of Committee and on to the House for a full vote!
