MS HB265

Mississippi Legislature preempts all local government regulation of firearms, ammunition, components, and supplies, nullifying any existing or future county or municipal ordinances on sale, purchase, ownership, possession, transportation, licensing, registration, or taxation of firearms

Local governments may only adopt ordinances that exactly conform to state concealed carry laws (Sections 45-9-51, 45-9-53, 45-9-101, 97-37-7, 97-37-9), regulate open carrying of firearms, or regulate firearm discharge within their jurisdiction

Citizens adversely affected by local ordinances violating state preemption may sue for injunctive relief; elected officials who approved violating ordinances may be personally liable for up to $1,000 plus attorney's fees, with public funds prohibited from defending or reimbursing them

Declares all federal laws, orders, or regulations that "infringe on the right to keep and bear arms" or order confiscation of firearms from law-abiding citizens to be invalid and unenforceable in Mississippi

Prohibits state officers from enforcing federal firearm confiscation orders, makes federal officials who attempt such enforcement guilty of a misdemeanor, and creates a private cause of action for Mississippi citizens subjected to such enforcement efforts
