Saturday, April 10, 2021 Dear Missourians: Over the past few months the Missouri Sheriffs Association has been accused of standing in the way of the Second Amendment Preservation Act now moving through the legislature in Jefferson City. Our association, comprised of 114 Sheriffs, has even been accused of being against our citizens right to bear arms. This disingenuous and misleading campaign is unjustified and is intended to cause undue alarm for our constituents. As the elected chief law enforcement officer of their counties, Missouri Sheriffs are unique in law enforcement and have held office since the birth of our state. We answer directly to our constituents and we understand our role as protectors of our law abiding citizens rights.
