Missouri Republicans are considering a bill that would bar federal law enforcement officials from state jobs if they ever enforced federal gun laws that the legislators consider ‘unconstitutional.’ According to the Missourian, GOP legislators would like to include a provision, in the so-called ‘Second Amendment Preservation Act,’ barring federal employees who enforce, or aid in a potential enforcement of certain gun-control laws in the course of their careers, from any Missouri state or local law enforcement jobs in the future. The latest provision is seen as a compromise by the Republican lawmakers from an earlier version that would have called for possible jail time or allowing civil damages stemming from lawsuits filed by Missourians who think an agent infringed upon their gun rights. The most recent version has been endorsed by the Senate General Laws Committee and would leave the civil penalties on the table in addition to the employment ban. The bill is likely to make the chamber floor for a vote. As currently written, Missourians would be able sue if they think a law enforcement officer was employed after being involved in the implementation of a federal gun law.
