The city of Arnold this week asked a judge to overturn Missouri's controversial new gun law, saying it is vague and confusing, hampers criminal investigations and is contrary to state and federal law.
In a lawsuit filed in Jefferson County Circuit Court on Wednesday, the city says the "Second Amendment Preservation Act" contains a series of provisions that put city officials at risk, including an apparent prohibition against seizing guns during investigations.
The city also said the law hampers the "recruitment, hiring and retention of law enforcement officers who are currently or formerly employed by or affiliated with" any federal agency. |

These should be called the waco/ruby ridge prevention acts. Federal goons need to be escorted out of each state if they pretend to be enforcing anything. |

Too many in the voter base don't understand that the government has drifted way past its constitutional limitations, and must he reined in. They are the product of decades of conditioning to believe that whatever government decides is 'best' for us is legitimately within its purview; that simply is not true.
The Constitutions of the nation and the several states are constructed to limit government powers to those they specifically delegate to it, and they exist precisely FOR that purpose.
This law is just an example of remedying existing law, legislatively (as should be done).
Our duty isn't to make government's job easier, government's duty is to stay out of our way.
Liberty is paramount. Government is an afterthought. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
