Mississippians react to President Biden’s executive action on gun control

SUMMARY: President Biden has taken executive action to address gun violence in the country. This includes targeting stabilizing braces for pistols and so-called ghost guns, firearms without serial numbers that can be assembled at home. Biden believes there is no excuse for the gun violence plaguing the nation. He is calling for an assault weapons ban and wants a review of how stabilizing braces are regulated. Gun industry members see these measures as stripping Americans of their rights, while others believe investing in community violence interventions and closing loopholes will help. Gun shop owners suggest fighting the black market to prevent criminals from obtaining firearms.

When it comes to tightening the restrictions on as the President put it “ghost guns”, pistol stabilizing braces, and investing in community violence interventions, people of Jackson have its support while others in the gun industry see deliberate misunderstandings and certain Americans getting stripped of their rights.

Senate lawmakers arrived at the Capitol to ensure conference reports were filed, but House Speaker Jason White did not participate. Senate Appropriations Chairman Briggs Hopson cited a “roadblock” with the House docket room closed, preventing the filing of key bills, including those for the 2026 budget and child protective services. Speaker White stated the House would reconvene on Monday for an “open and transparent” process, offering to engage with the Senate in the coming days.
