Mississippi’s New Gun Law Targets Juveniles

Mississippi’s new law, Senate Bill 2710, starts July 1 and could send teens straight to adult court for gun-related violent crimes—whether they used or even attempted to use a firearm. Sellers of stolen guns used in violence now face 10 to 40 years in prison. Critics worry about youth unaware of consequences, while supporters see it as a deterrent. Former juvenile offender Rashad and law enforcement officials warn of lifelong impacts, as even shooting into crowds could land teens in adult prison with heavy fines.
