DOJ warns Missouri officials state can't ignore federal gun laws
The Department of Justice has warned Missouri state officials that they can't ignore federal gun laws, the Associated Press reported on Thursday.
In a letter obtained by the newswire service, DOJ officials said that the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy clause outweighed a new state law that bans police from enforcing gun laws
The DOJ argued that the state doesn't have the authority to prevent their law enforcement from carrying out their duties and to shield citizens and businesses from facing consequences, according to the AP report.
"The public safety of the people of the United States and citizens of Missouri is paramount," Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton said in the letter.
