HB 366 - Second Amendment Preservation Act

• Mississippi Legislature preempts all local regulation of firearms, components, ammunition, and supplies, making any existing or future local ordinances null and void except those conforming exactly to state law.

• Prohibits counties and municipalities from adopting ordinances restricting firearm possession, carrying, transportation, sale, transfer, or ownership, with limited exceptions for discharge regulations, explosives storage, and public parks/meetings.

• Declares lawful firearm design, manufacturing, and sales are not abnormal or nuisance activities and shields firearms manufacturers and dealers from liability suits by governments (while preserving individual citizens' right to sue for negligent or defective products).

• Invalidates all federal firearm confiscation laws conflicting with the Second Amendment and Article I, Section 12 of the Mississippi Constitution, prohibiting state officers from enforcing such federal acts and making federal enforcement a misdemeanor offense.

• Allows citizens subject to federal firearm confiscation efforts to sue for declaratory judgment and damages, and establishes civil liability (up to $1,000 plus attorney's fees) for local officials who violate the preemption provisions.
