Like many states in the deep south, gun laws in Mississippi are lenient and often times abused.
If you want to know the facts about MS gun laws, please ask. I'll direct you to sites like the MS Office of Public Safety.

As an NRA member for nearly 20 years I agree with Chromekitty. I support the NRA position on firearms matters, except I support the repeal of the Federal Firarms Act of 1934 and the existance of the BATF and registration of gun transfers, but consider the rest of the NRA political platform complete nonsense.
