Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to firearms

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment in Missouri to protect the right of citizens to keep and bear arms, ammunition, and accessories for defense and lawful civil aid. It establishes that any restrictions on these rights must undergo strict scrutiny and explicitly exempts convicted violent felons and individuals deemed a danger due to mental disorders from these protections. Additionally, the amendment allows counties, St. Louis, and Kansas City to enact their own ordinances regulating firearm possession, carrying, and transfers, provided they include specific rules on permit fees, background checks, and penalties. Local governments would also be required to recognize permits issued by a resident's home county and must exempt law enforcement, judges, and certain security personnel from local regulations.
