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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
