Second Amendment Preservation Act Being Reconsidered After Being Struck Down

Tuesday, April 15, 2025 at 7:20 AM

A Missouri House bill seeks to allow Missouri gun law to supersede federal gun law and would penalize police officers for enforcing federal gun laws. 

The bill was heard by a Senate committee Monday. It would reinstate and make changes to the Second Amendment Preservation Act, which was found unconstitutional by a federal appeals court in 2024. 

Susan Myers is the State Director for Women for Gun Rights and testified in support of the bill. She wants to ensure Missouri continues to have Second Amendment protections and said this bill would do that. 

Meanwhile, multiple law enforcement officers testified against the bill, including Lance Bolinger, assistant police chief for the Columbia police department. Bolinger worked for the department the last time the Second Amendment Preservation Act went into effect, and said it hindered their collaboration with federal law enforcement. 

Consideration of the bill is continuing at the state capital.
