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 |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
