The law is not unconstitutional for the following reason:
It isolates federal laws that violate the 2nd Amendment. Article VI's supremacy clause stipulates that the Constitution and any laws that shall be made in pursuance thereof are the supreme law of the land. Federal laws that violate the Bill of Rights (or that implement controls in areas where there is no constitutionally delegated authority to do so) are not the supreme law of the land, by definition.
Since the state law specifies only that federal firearms laws that have no constitutional validation shall not be recognized in Missouri, it does not run afoul of the supremacy clause. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
