SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves signed a bill into law to criminalize the manufacture, sale, and possession of machine gun conversion devices, such as “Glock switches.” These devices convert semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic ones. House Bill 903, authored by Rep. Kevin Felsher, carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $3,000 fine for violations. Felsher highlighted the need for state-level action, as current laws only address federal offenses. The law was celebrated by Moms Demand Action for enhancing public safety. Mississippi is the 16th state to enact such legislation.
