The Missouri Supreme Court heard arguments regarding the constitutionality of a law proponent referred to as The Second Amendment Preservation Act Monday afternoon.
The law prevents several federal gun control measures from being enforced in the state.

They argue, among other things, that the new law prevents them from cooperating fully with federal law enforcement.
Jeffrey Sandberg, a U.S. attorney, says state and local law enforcement agencies fear penalties of up to $50,000 for not cooperating with the federal law.
The state argued Monday that the Supreme Court is the wrong venue for this case and that several other pending lawsuits could resolve the issues. The court will rule in the coming weeks.
