Newton County, Missouri Passed Bill that Criminalizes Federal Enforcement of Gun Control

In the last several years, the trend toward 2nd Amendment Sanctuary cities and counties has grown across the nation. Those were all resolutions. But Newton County, Missouri actually passed a law – with teeth that criminalizes federal enforcement of any unconstitutional gun laws.

The Second Amendment Preservation Act of Newton County Missouri

Federal laws, regs, etc passed by Federal government and specifically by any Presidential Administration past, present or future which infringe on the right to keep and bear arms shall be invalid in the county, shall not be recognized by this county, and specifically rejected by this county, and shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this county.

Examples:

-Tax levy, fee or stamp imposed on firearms, accessory or ammunition not common to all other goods and services.

-Confiscation orders.

-Any act past, present, or future passed by Congress infringing on right to keep and bear arms (examples include: H.R 30, H.R. 38, H.R 21, H.R 137, and H.R. 167)

Courts and law enforcement agencies have a duty to protect law-abiding citizen’s rights, and no public officer or county employee can have authority to enforce any federal laws infringing on 2a.

Federal agents trying to enforce the above shall be subject to arrest by the Sheriff’s department.

Summary of the Second Amendment Preservation Act of Newton County, Missouri

Newton County, MO

 

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

The law gives the Newton County Sheriff’s Department the authority to arrest federal agents. Whether that will fly through a court challenge is debatable. But this law does have the kind of “teeth” that mere resolutions do not have, and is effective immediately.

The Missouri Constitution is relatively clear on the right to keep and bear arms, and demands that state of Missouri protect against 2A infringement:

That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms, ammunition, and accessories typical to the normal function of such arms, in defense of his home, person, family and property, or when lawfully summoned in aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned. The rights guaranteed by this section shall be unalienable. Any restriction on these rights shall be subject to strict scrutiny and the state of Missouri shall be obligated to uphold these rights and shall under no circumstances decline to protect against their infringement.

Article 1, Sect 17 Missouri Constitution 1875

Of course their Constitution was amended in 2014 to include this language:

Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the general assembly from enacting general laws which limit the rights of convicted violent felons or those adjudicated by a court to be a danger to self or others as result of a mental disorder or mental infirmity.

Whether or not other 2A Sanctuary areas will adopt the Newton County model is unknown. But theirs is the toughest language by any County so far.
