Supreme Court Blocks Missouri's Attempt to Override Federal Gun Laws
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court has denied an emergency appeal from Missouri to enforce a law that bars police from enforcing federal gun laws. The 2019 law was ruled unconstitutional by a district judge but allowed to remain in effect. Missouri wanted the law to be in effect while the court fight plays out. Justice Clarence Thomas was the only member of the court to side with Missouri. The law imposes a fine on officers who enforce federal gun laws that don't align with state restrictions. The court has previously expanded gun rights and is set to hear arguments in a case related to last year's ruling.
