New Missouri Gun Law Hampers Law Enforcement

CNN: “The law, which will go into effect on August 28, ‘prohibits state and local cooperation with federal officials that attempt to enforce any laws, rules, orders, or actions that violate the Second Amendment rights of Missourians.’”

“Since the law was passed, 12 of 53 state and local officers with federal deputizations have withdrawn from ATF task forces.”

“By pulling state and local officers from the task forces, the bureau ‘is no longer able to fulfill its duties as effectively, including preventing, investigating, and assisting in the prosecution of violent offenders.’”
