Missouri’s HB 436 (http://www.house.mo.gov/billtracking/bills131/sumpdf/HB0436T.pdf), known as the Second Amendment Preservation Act, was first passed by the state’s House in April with a 115 to 42 vote, was amended and passed by the Senate during the beginning of May with a 26 to 6 vote, and was then given back to and passed again by the House last week (http://www.spreadlibertynews.com/missouri-legislature-nullifies-all-federal-gun-control-measures-by-a-veto-proof-majority-2/) with a 116 to 38 vote.
Because Missouri’s entire legislature proved that they are in favor of protecting citizens’ natural right to self-defense and are against federal gun control threats, the bill is now on Governor Jay Nixon’s desk for a potential vote.
“The bill establishes the Second Amendment Preservation Act which specifies that although several states have granted supremacy to laws and treaties under the powers granted under the United States Constitution, the supremacy does not apply to the federal laws that restrict or prohibit the manufacture, ownership, and use of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition exclusively within the state except to the extent that they are necessary for the regulation of the land and naval forces of the Unites States Armed Forces,” reads the bill.
If signed into law by the Governor, HB 436 would not only block federal measures relating to firearm control that are anticipating on being passed, but it would also block all past and future ones as well.
It is explained that, “The bill specifies that all past, present, or future federal acts, laws, orders, rules, or future federal acts, laws, orders, rules, or regulations that infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article 1, Second 23 of the Missouri Constitution are invalid, will not be recognized, are specifically rejected, and will be considered null and void and of no effect in this state.”
Clearly, if made law, the bill would enable the state of Missouri to pump its Tenth Amendment muscles when it comes to unconstitutional Second Amendment actions.
Interestingly, the legislation also makes clear that in any area that currently prohibits concealed carry of firearms, if HB 436 became law, the prohibition on those areas would be lifted and those who wish to carry concealed may do so in those areas so long as they obtain a proper permit.
Also, the bill would allow school districts to assign one or more elementary or secondary school teachers or administrators to act as “school protection officers” where they would voluntarily be armed without using state funds.
n the district, but he or she must keep the firearm on his or her person at all times while on school property. A person violating these provisions must be removed immediately from the classroom and is subjected to employment termination proceedings.”
