MISSISSIPPI: Governor Signs More Pro-Gun Legislation into Law

http://www.nraila.org/legislation/state-legislation/2012/05/mississippi-governor-signs-more-pro-gun-legislation-into-law.aspx

On Monday, (April 30, 2012) Governor Phil Bryant (R) signed another NRA-backed bill into law. House Bill 353, introduced by state Representative Bill Denny (R-64), makes it a crime to deceive a federal firearm licensed dealer when purchasing a gun. This law will go into effect on July 1, 2012.

------------------
This is a good law. It should help some with straw-buyers and maybe with Bloombergs too.

More FRONTLASH! Yeah.

not one case in the state of anyone fired for having, owning or possessing a legal gun.

On the other hand many have been discriminated for being gay.

But Safe In Ohio is wanting to hijack to forum to talk about hiring discrimination against gays. That has nothing to do with guns. Pink Pistols does.

But the fact that crimes with the gun are virtually non existent didn't stop California from banning them and several other states from trying to, including Illinois.

I guess if the "wisdom" of the California legislature can develop a concept of "pre-crime" and anticipate what villains might do some day with that evil .50 caliber gun, then other states can easily anticipate what brain dead politicians might do, given half a chance, to buy a vote or two.

Arm the pre-fetuses in Arizona. All women must buy guns, preferably 20 or 3,456, every 2 weeks before their periods.

They are so ahead of the curve in every respect.

Education, jobs, income, you name it.

Haley Barbour would be a great president.
