HB1175 would reestablish the “Second Amendment Preservation Act,” prohibiting any political subdivision or law-enforcement agency from knowingly depriving a Missouri citizen of their right to keep and bear arms.
The House passed HB1175 on March 27, 2025, by a vote of 100 to 51. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the right of the people to keep and bear arms is an “unalienable” right enshrined in both the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Article I, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution. Thus, any attempt to impose unconstitutional firearms restrictions is “unauthoritative, void, and of no force.” Whenever the federal government or a state government assumes undelegated powers, nullification is the proper remedy.
