BREAKING! End of 2A Sanctuary States? Court LOSS!

A federal judge has overturned a Missouri law that declared that all federal gun laws are invalid if they don't have a state level equivalent. The law, the “Second Amendment Preservation Act”, further declared the federal supremacy clause as not applying to any manufacturing, ownership and use of firearms and firearm accessories or ammunition within the state because such law exceed the scope of federal government authorities. The law also goes on to make it illegal for state employees and law enforcement to enforces firearm laws declared invalid by SAPA, but further creates a duty for courts and LEO to protect the rights of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. Any LEO of state or local government employee in Missouri who tries to enforce the invalid federal laws shall be subject to a fine of up to $50,000 per employee hired by the law enforcement agency. Attorneys fees and costs may also be awarded to a plaintiff who sues to enforce this provision. The act was passed in 2021.

Three things coming up in the analysis:
Supremacy clause
Tenth amendment
Anti commandeering doctrine

Supremacy clause: comes from article 6 of the constitution and reads in part, “This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.”

10th amendment
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
