Actually Mississippi hasn’t “declared” anything. This is merely a bill that is still in committee. After reading the headline I was about to rush down to the gun shop and pick up a few full auto HK MP5s, a few suppressors and a couple 12” witness protection style shotguns BUT it appears from the wording of the bill that Mississippi WILL in fact tolerate federal gun control laws with respect to the aforementioned items. Once you show a willingness to compromise your rights any action from that point forward is generally a net loss of rights. Essentially the State is saying, “look we’ll live with your current infringements but no new ones.” It’s still better than nothing but it’s FAR from telling FedGov to shove its gun control laws.
Yeah, the title was misleading to say the least. I remember there being a shop in Picayune that was a Class III dealer.
