HB 3070 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Reestablishes the Second Amendment Preservation Act

HB 3070, titled "Reestablishes the Second Amendment Preservation Act," prohibits Missouri state and local officials from enforcing specific federal firearm laws within the state, including registration requirements, ownership restrictions, and confiscation orders. The bill declares these federal actions unconstitutional and void in Missouri, based on the state's interpretation of the Second Amendment and Tenth Amendment protections. It allows citizens to sue state officials who enforce such federal laws, imposing a $50,000 civil penalty per violation and requiring courts to award attorney fees to the winning party. The law explicitly permits Missouri to accept federal aid for enforcing Missouri's own firearm laws but blocks state cooperation with federal gun control measures.
