Wrap: The measure would nullify any federal law that violates a person's Second Amendment constitutional rights for firearms.
Mayor Sly James from Kansas City and Mayor Francis Slay from St. Louis called the bill reckless and absurd.
Slay said it is already easy for criminals to get their hands on guns and he said the bill would make it more difficult for federal agencies to fight crime.

Representative Doug Funderburk sponsored the measure and said he wants to protect the rights of law abiding citizens.
The measure is still pending before the legislature.

But, Representative Doug Funderburk sponsors the bill and said it is not his goal to prevent interagency cooperation.
The measure is still pending before the legislature.
