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.

SUMMARY: Biloxi city councilman Robert Deming III resigned after being indicted for selling fake CBD products containing illegal synthetic cannabinoids in his Candy Shop stores. Customers reported illnesses after using the products. DEA investigations found evidence of Deming's knowledge of the misbranding. He forfeited a monster truck and nearly $2 million, with a plea agreement suggesting a sentence of 70-87 months. His sentencing is set for August 13, with Biloxi officials planning to fill his council seat. Deming had sent money to purchase a Schedule I controlled substance, which he knew was illegal.

SUMMARY: Rep. Mike Ezell of Mississippi's fourth district, a Republican and former sheriff, reportedly slapped at CODEPINK activist Sumer Mobarak's phone during a confrontation at the U.S. Capitol. Mobarak, a Palestinian American, has since pressed charges. CODEPINK, known for anti-war activism and feminist origins, has been protesting in Washington against U.S. support for Israel amid the Gaza war. Ezell, dismissing the protesters as harassers backed by China and supportive of Hamas, vows to maintain support for Israel. Pro-Palestine protests are rising across the U.S., with the government recently approving more aid to Israel.
