Supreme Court Upholds Biden's Win on Missouri Gun Law

The Supreme Court has upheld a lower court ruling that blocked parts of Missouri's "Second Amendment Preservation Act," which declared federal gun laws invalid. The law, signed by Republican Governor Mike Parson, imposed civil penalties and lawsuits against police officers who enforced federal gun laws. The ruling is seen as a blow to gun rights groups and conservatives who celebrated the law as establishing permissive gun laws in Missouri. The Supreme Court's decision only applies to police officers and state employees, not private parties who could sue under the law. The ruling comes at a time when gun restrictions are being challenged across the country following a landmark Supreme Court decision last year that expanded Second Amendment protections.
