JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Department of Justice on Wednesday sued Missouri over a contested new law banning local police from enforcing federal gun laws just days after pulling out of a state crime-fighting partnership.

The Justice Department has said the law, which declares “invalid” federal gun regulations that don’t have an equivalent in Missouri law, has scared police departments away from helping the federal government fight violent crime. Agencies risk being sued for $50,000 by private citizens who believe their Second Amendment rights have been violated.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement that the law “impedes criminal law enforcement operations in Missouri.”

“A state cannot simply declare federal laws invalid,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division, in a statement. “This act makes enforcement of federal firearms laws difficult and strains the important law enforcement partnerships that help keep violent criminals off the street.”

 

The insane part is that anyone whom believes the current administration is looking to keep criminals off the streets..................   Cracking Up Lol GIF by Rodney Dangerfield

What I find insane is that ANY law is actually believed to reduce any crime.

Well............................ Were the law to take anyone who drove into a crowd with a deadly vehicle, throw a baby off a third floor level or stop your car to get out & shoot a 7 year old boy in the head "just because" & sat them in the electric chair about 2 days after it happened, I believe there would be fewer of those instances. 

But I could be wrong.

Those laws aren't there to reduce crime. We need truth in sentencing, not more laws. I think we agree in principle though!!

The Justice Department that has taken legal action to prevent states from enforcing Federal immigration laws (that the Feds prefer to ignore)  now wants to compel states to enforce Federal gun laws.

Is the AG going to sue states that legalized recreational marijuana and make them enforce Federal drug laws?

Just another example of the Dems shameless hypocrisy.

Hypocrisy is the one thing that liberals can always be counted on as having, IMO. 

I think the prevention of enforcing immigration laws by the states is an excellent rebuttal to that jackass Garland.
