Referred: Emerging Issues(H)
Summary
The bill defines red‑flag laws as any rule that permits temporary or permanent seizure of firearms, accessories, or ammunition and bans Missouri state, local, and law‑enforcement agencies from enforcing such orders, even when issued by federal courts. It also bars the use of federal funds to carry out these seizures and creates a $50,000 civil penalty for agencies that violate the ban. Individuals whose guns are taken under a red‑flag order may sue for damages, injunctive relief, and recover attorney fees.
