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, Senator Hudson and Representative Durnell have filed legislation for us to fix this by putting civil penalties into our pre-emption law.
Their legislation (SB-74/HB-726) also strips away these cities’ ability to regulate open carry. They’ve abused this for far too long.
Now we need to get co-sponsors for this bill, fast!
Help us do that. Sign your petition urging your Senator and Representative to co-sponsor this legislation so that House and Senate leaders know this is a priority!
