Democrats are not going to win a popularity contest in MO by introducing anti-gun bill
And so it begins in MO and in other states. It’s one thing to see this kind of crap coming from our nation’s capitol – not at the state level. We should be seeing our state leaders enforce the constitution, not the other way around. It’s ironic that Missouri’s state capital, Jefferson City, was named after Thomas Jefferson. It was Thomas Jefferson who introduced the idea of “State Nullification.”
“State nullification is the idea that the states can and must refuse to enforce unconstitutional federal laws. We must remind both federal and state leaders that in the American system no government is sovereign. The peoples of the states are the sovereigns.” [1]
4. Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was legally in possession of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution:
(1) Remove the assault weapon or large capacity magazine from the state of Missouri;
(2) Render the assault weapon permanently inoperable; or
(3) Surrender the assault weapon or large capacity magazine to the appropriate law enforcement agency for destruction, subject to specific agency regulations.
5. Unlawful manufacture, import, possession, purchase, sale, or transfer of an assault weapon or a large capacity magazine is a class C felony.
"Whenever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force." --Thomas Jefferson: Kentucky Resolutions, 1798.
