Bill > HB915

This bill, known as the "Second Amendment Preservation Act," establishes that the Mississippi Legislature has exclusive authority over laws concerning firearms, their components, ammunition, and related supplies, overriding any ordinances or regulations made by local governments or municipalities. While generally preventing local governments from enacting their own firearm laws, it allows for ordinances that precisely match existing state laws regarding concealed weapons and deadly weapons, or those that regulate the open carrying of firearms or their discharge within a jurisdiction. The bill also clarifies that the lawful design, marketing, manufacture, distribution, or sale of firearms and ammunition is not considered a nuisance, and local governments cannot sue manufacturers or dealers for damages related to these activities, though individual citizens can still sue for injuries caused by defective products. Furthermore, the bill explicitly rejects any federal laws that would confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens, declaring them invalid within Mississippi and making it a misdemeanor for federal officials to enforce such laws, while granting citizens a right to sue those who attempt to enforce them.
