IMHO, these guys trying to pass a state law that will trump a federal law are showing themselves to be imbeciles.

Dem Missouri Gov. Smacks Down NRA Gun-Nuts, Vetoes Gun Bill
Omar Rivero July 6, 2013


On Friday, Missouri’s Democratic governor, Jay Nixon, stood his ground versus Missouri’s bought-and-paid-for NRA stooges, vetoing legislation that would have made it a crime for law-enforcement agents to enforce federal gun laws in the state and could have put journalists in jail simply for publishing photos or names of gun owners–even those who consented so they could display their hunting kills.

As a justification for his veto, the Democratic governor correctly stated that the bill violated the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution, which gives preference to any and all federal laws that are in conflict with state laws. In addition, he made it clear that the bill also infringed on the First Amendment rights of the free speech of the press.
