How It Started
On June 14, 2021, Missouri Governor Mike Parson signed the Second Amendment Preservation Act, HB 85, into law. The new law means the state’s law enforcement officers (LEOs) or state employees are prohibited from enforcing any infringing federal gun laws or regulations.

It didn’t take long for the Department of Justice to react to Missouri’s new sanctuary status. By June 16, 2021, Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton had sent a letter to Governor Parson telling him he couldn’t stop state LEOs from enforcing federal gun laws.
Missouri Responds
Governor Parson and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt replied to the DOJ’s letter right away, saying they would “fight tooth and nail” to protect the Second Amendment rights of Missouri residents.
