Videos tagged with Mississippi Senate Bill 2710

This video from Washington Gun Law TV, hosted by William Kirk, analyzes Mississippi's Senate Bill 2710, a law designed to combat gun violence by treating juveniles who commit certain firearm offenses as adults. The legislation automatically declines juvenile jurisdiction for offenses like carrying prohibited weapons, underage firearm possession, and possession of stolen firearms, leading to prosecution and sentencing in adult circuit court. It also significantly increases penalties for individuals who sell or transfer firearms to minors, with mandatory minimum sentences of 10 years for transferring stolen firearms to those under 18, and even longer sentences if the firearm is used in a violent crime. The host praises this law for directly addressing the problem and the demographic responsible, rather than disarming law-abiding citizens.
