NRA-ILA | Mississippi: Legislature Adjourned Sine Die from 2023 Legislative Session

This morning, April 1, the legislature adjourned Sine Die. All through this 12 months’s session, a number of pro-gun measures have been launched to guard our Second Modification rights. Due to the pro-gun majority, all anti-gun payments failed in committee.

Mississippi’s Service provider Class Code (“MCC”) Invoice, HB 1110, handed each chambers and had a convention report filed and adopted by each. This invoice prohibits cost processors from requiring the usage of a firearms-specific MCC to differentiate purchases at a firearms retailer from a common merchandise or sporting items retailer. It additionally prevents the misuse of cost card processing methods to surveil, report, or disclose these authorized transactions. Governor Tate Reeves will now have the chance to signal the invoice into legislation. Governor Reeves has at all times been steadfast in his protection of law-abiding residents’ Second Modification rights within the state.

The NRA wish to thank Consultant Jansen Owen, for authoring HB 1110, and Consultant Nick Bain, Consultant Shane Barnett, and Senator Chris Johnson for his or her management in making certain the success of this invoice. Moreover, the NRA thanks all lawmakers who labored tirelessly to handle the rising menace to Second Modification rights posed by the MCC rule and the potential monitoring of firearm purchases. Anti-gun radicals have tried to outsource the creation and upkeep of a gun proprietor registry to the personal monetary sector as a result of the federal authorities is prohibited by legislation from doing so.

The NRA will return to Jackson for the subsequent legislative session and can proceed to work to protect the Second Modification rights of all law-abiding residents. Please keep tuned to www.nraila.org and your e-mail inbox for additional updates.
