President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he would be pursuing more stringent gun control measures in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting.

Missouri State Senator Brian Munzlinger says not so fast.

Munzlinger filed a bill Wednesday afternoon that would make any federal law or executive order banning the possession of a semiautomatic firearm that is more restrictive than laws in place on Dec. 31, 2012, unenforceable.

“My proposed legislation seeks to keep far-reaching regulations from violating the constitutional rights of all Missourians. Today's extreme grab of power was created under executive order and not heard publicly. We cannot let the total disregard for our constitutional rights continue," Sen. Munzlinger said. "Today the president used his power of Executive Order to erode the rights of everyone guaranteed under the Second Amendment, rather than do the hard work of passing legislation through the Congress, elected by each of you."
It would also make it a crime for an officer, government agent or employee from enforcing a law or order declared unenforceable.
