Missouri’s SAPA, enacted in 2021, was the state’s effort to ensure that its officers and resources would not be used to enforce federal gun control measures that exceed constitutional limits. The law prohibits state officials from enforcing certain federal firearms statutes and penalizes agencies that cooperate with them. At its core, the SAPA reflects a well-established principle: the federal government may not commandeer state officials to carry out federal policy.

The Supreme Court has confirmed that principle repeatedly. In cases involving firearms, immigration, environmental regulations, and even marijuana enforcement, the Court has recognized that Washington cannot force state legislatures or police to implement federal priorities. Missouri applied that same reasoning to firearms, instructing its law enforcement officers to focus on state law rather than federal regulations.

Bondi’s DOJ, however, has treated Missouri’s SAPA as though it were an act of nullification. In court filings, the Department has insisted that Missouri cannot insulate itself from federal gun laws and has sought to strike down the statute entirely. The irony is obvious. In our amicus briefs to defend the Missouri law, GOA has repeatedly pointed out that the SAPA does not prevent federal agents from enforcing federal law. It simply says Missouri’s officers will not be conscripted to help. That is a crucial distinction, and it is one with strong constitutional backing.

Somebody please help me understand why Pam Bondi was selected as Attorney General. She not only is doing nearly nothing that we anticipated and voted for (you know, deep state arrests?) but she actively fights against OUR SECOND AMENDMENT. Why is she still there? WTF is wrong with President Trump?
