SB298 nullified all “acts, laws, orders, rules, and regulations of the United States Government, whether past, present, or future” that are unconstitutional regarding guns.
The Arkansas State Senate voted to override the Governor’s veto for SB298 on April 26, 2021 by a vote of 21 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because under article VI of the U.S. Constitution, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and every state is bound by oath to support it. Ultimately, states have a duty to nullify any infringements by the federal government and Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution gives congress specific powers and if there are violations of those powers, then states have a right to not comply.
