| Description: "We will get a vote on it, and we will send it to the House. The reason I want to get it done early if there's a veto, is we're gonna move to override during session." | |
Back in September, Richard and Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey voted against overriding the gun rights bill veto, which would've nullified federal guns laws in Missouri.
The new bill is largely the same. It nullifies all past, present, and future federal gun laws that don't comply with Missouri's constitution. It also requires federal authorities to notify the county sheriff if a warrant is going to be served in that county.

Joplin Republican Richard voted against the override of the previous gun rights bill in September, citing concerns about the criminalization of cooperation between state and federal law enforcement officials on gun-control issues.
