This is in line with Madison's argument in Federalist 45. If enough state and local people say "no", the Federal government either becomes a tyranny or it backs down. If it becomes a tyranny, it needs to be changed anyway.
I don't expect the governor to sign it. It's his administration that has allowed the turning over of CCW info to the feds. But the Repub's have a majority in the legislature to override any veto. And that is where we will see if they truly represent the people.

Agreed, Robin. The real test will begin if the Senate and Governor Nixon sign off on it.
