A lawsuit by the city of St. Louis and St. Louis County was filed on Monday to overturn the law, which could potentially fine law enforcement agencies for enforcing federal gun laws.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Fallon Police Chief Philip Dupuis recently resigned because of the new law. He slammed its \u201cpoor wording\u201d as officers who violate the law could be fined for up to $50,000. In a tweet by St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones, the Democrat asserted the law would make it more difficult to stop \u201cviolent crime\u201d and warned its potential to make communities less safe.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HB85?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#HB85<\/a> makes it more difficult for law enforcement to do their job: stopping violent crime. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/moleg?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#moleg<\/a> is once again throwing up barriers that make communities less safe.<\/p>\n<p>Proud to join <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrSamPage?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DrSamPage<\/a> to fight back against this harmful and unconstitutional law. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gEYwpaG0hw\">https:\/\/t.co\/gEYwpaG0hw<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8QbBbEFoyu\">pic.twitter.com\/8QbBbEFoyu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mayor Tishaura O.
