    Preemption Laws Are More Important Than Ever

    Strong Firearms Preemption Laws Are More Important Than Ever

    America's First Freedom
    December 29th. 2019

    Today, almost all states have a firearms preemption law that prohibits localities from regulating firearms in a manner more stringent than state law. These laws are vital, as they prevent localities from enacting an incomprehensible patchwork of local ordinances.

    Without these measures, unsuspecting gun owners would be forced to forego the exercise of their Second Amendment rights or risk running afoul of convoluted and potentially inaccessible local rules.

    A look back at a 1970s edition, by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, of “State Laws and Local Ordinances” reveals a baffling mishmash of local ordinances aimed at all manner of firearms-related conduct. Prior to the enactment of preemption statutes, there were city waiting periods, county gun-seller licensing and gun-registration schemes, and local permits to purchase regimes.

    With prodding from moneyed interests, localities have become increasingly brazen in defying state preemption statutes.

    What we need is a FEDERAL preemption law.

    One that says "Shall Not Be Infringed".

    I think what is needed is for anyone in government who feels they are bigger than the preemption laws be thrown into prison for circumventing them and that verbiage needs to be added to said Statutes.

    Maybe file a class action suit?

    Malfeasance:

    Intentional conduct that is wrongful or unlawful, especially by officials or public employees. Malfeasance is at a higher level of wrongdoing than nonfeasance (failure to act where there was a duty to act) or misfeasance (conduct that is lawful but inappropriate).

    Malfeasance is a comprehensive term used in both civil and Criminal Law to describe any act that is wrongful. It is not a distinct crime or tort, but may be used generally to describe any act that is criminal or that is wrongful and gives rise to, or somehow contributes to, the injury of another person.

    Maybe apply it to a denial of rights under color of law.
