Springfield News-Leader
JEFFERSON CITY Citing fears of impending tyranny, the Missouri House gave initial approval to a plan to limit the reach of federal gun laws here Wednesday.
The bill from Rep. Jered Taylor, R-Christian County, would bar state and local law enforcement from enforcing any federal statutes that ban or discourage “law-abiding citizens” from having guns, accessories or ammunition.
Taylor and other Republicans said they’re expecting a lot of that stuff with Democrats now in control of Congress and the White House.
Indeed, President Joe Biden campaigned on banning assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines as part of his Plan to End Gun Violence. Congressional Democrats have proposed various limitations and regulations Republicans abhor.
