Missouri’s law barred state officials from enforcing federal gun statutes that require registration or tracking of firearms, firearm accessories or ammunition. The act also sought to bypass federal statutes forbidding such items. Missouri said it had authority under the 10th Amendment to enact laws based on the Legislature’s legal analysis of federal statutes. State lawmakers claimed that federal gun laws violated the Constitution.

Just read the above excerpt, but imagine it was referring to illegal immigrants and ICE instead of gun laws and the ATF.
