A U.S. federal judge ruled that a Missouri state law which aimed to invalidate many federal gun regulations is unconstitutional, handing the Justice Department a victory in its bid to get the law invalidated
In a 24-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Brian Wimes for the Western District of Missouri wrote that the state's Second Amendment Preservation Act , also known as "HB85," violates the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution, a doctrine which holds that federal laws take priority over conflicting state laws.
The Justice Department has previously said that HB85, which was signed into law in June 2021, has harmed partnerships between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and state and local law enforcement.
