Nullification to Non-Enforcement: Can Missouri Outsmart the Courts?

Guy Fawkes 2025.05.08 2 min read

Missouri’s bold attempt to nullify federal gun laws failed—but now, lawmakers are back with a new strategy.
Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Leslie Cross break down HB1175, Missouri’s latest effort to avoid the mistakes of its original Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA), which the 8th Circuit struck down. Can Missouri thread the legal needle this time?
In this episode:
* Why the 8th Circuit ruled SAPA unconstitutional in USA v. Missouri (No. 23-1457).
* What’s changed in HB1175, and how it avoids the Supremacy Clause.
* Can states prohibit their officials from enforcing federal laws without crossing the line?
* The difference between nullification and non-enforcement.
This is SAPA Round 2—and it’s one of the most important Second Amendment legal battles happening today.
