Supreme Court Examines Constitutionality of Gun Law in Missouri v. United States, Raising Questions on Stupidity

The Supreme Court is considering the constitutionality of Missouri's Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA), a poorly drafted statute that seeks to nullify certain federal gun laws. While some provisions of SAPA may be read as valid applications of the anti-commandeering doctrine, which allows states to refuse to enforce federal laws, the bulk of the law is a clear attempt at nullification, which is explicitly forbidden by the Constitution. The Supreme Court should uphold the lower court's ruling that struck down the unconstitutional provisions of SAPA, and if Missouri wants to limit the enforcement of federal gun laws, it should do so within the boundaries of the anti-commandeering doctrine.
