As Missouri Republicans push a new version of the Second Amendment Preservation Act through the legislature, law enforcement officials in the state say lawmakers and supporters of the bill are ignoring their concerns…“I think it’s anti-law enforcement,” said Ellisville Police Chief Steve Lewis. “It’s bad legislation for law enforcement in that we believe it restricts law enforcement’s ability to assist federal task force partners with the seizure of weapons from bad people.” [More]
Back the Oathbreakers? Whatever, Porky.

We would not need a SAPA if the Justice department and law enforcement would just recognize the second amendment put real criminals in prison with real consequences.
I think law enforcement brought the SAPA on themselves by going after people like Patrick “Tate” Adamiak and other’s, there’s plenty of examples of innocent people losing their rights with plea agreements, going to prison and getting killed. These are concerns that officer Lewis and other officials never address.
To bad for gun owners that a few bad apples give the second amendment a bad reputation at the same time a few bad prosecutors and LEO’s do the same in the Justice department.
I think it boils down to evil, evil exist in many forms and in this case it’s dishonest people in positions of power. Politicians have brought this on 100% by themselves, only they can make laws good or bad and unfortunately their are many evil people in government who cancel out the good so I support SAPA.
