Former State Rep. Kelly (D-Columbia), a former Boone County circuit judge, says HB 85 is unconstitutional, and that the “sponsors know it is unconstitutional. It has one purpose, to pander to the gun guys,” Kelly says.
No it isn't.
This trope is repeated over and over again, omitting a critical phrase, "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States that shall be made in Pursuance thereof." Only laws that comport with constitutionally enumerated powers and proscriptions are the supreme law of the land. Federal laws that exceed those limitations are not, and state law has supremacy, per the 10th Amendment. |
