Missouri Governor Mike Parson has signed House Bill 85, 2A sanctuary legislation, and this bill stands above others like it.

Most 2A sanctuary legislation only prevents local officials and law enforcement from working with federal authorities, this legislation allows for the states gun laws to surpass the federal gun laws. essentially this legislation nullifies federal gun laws.

From Townhall: 

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) signed House Bill 85 on Saturday in order to defend the Second Amendment by allowing state gun laws to surpass federal gun laws and punishes police departments if an officer violates a state resident’s gun rights.

“It is our time to protect the second amendment,” Parson said, according to Fox 4. “This is exactly what this bill does and it’s time to get this thing signed and get it into law.”

Under the new law, police departments can be fined up to $50,000 if a resident’s Second Amendment rights are violated.

Ahead of Parson’s signing the bill, Missouri House Minority Leader Crystal Quade (D) called the bill “dangerous” and “radical.”

The bill has its detractors, House Minority Leader Crystal Quade being one of them. In a statement Quade said that the legislation was dangerous and that it was extremist in nature. “The new law even allows criminals who violate federal gun law to sue our local law enforcement officers for a minimum $50,000 fine if they in any way assist with federal investigations. It quite literally defunds the police and gives that taxpayer money to convicted criminals.” Quade said in a statement.
