Mississippi Senate passes bill banning camera-assisted radar guns

News summary

Mississippi lawmakers have advanced a bill to prohibit police departments from using camera-assisted radar guns, following concerns from citizens about receiving citations for vehicles they weren't driving. In Oklahoma, legislation is being proposed to eliminate sales tax on gun safety devices, a move that aims to encourage responsible gun ownership while providing financial relief. Meanwhile, Tennessee is working on a new bill making it a felony to discharge a firearm while driving, in response to rising rates of gun-related vehicle offenses. State Senator Jeff Yarbro, sponsoring the Tennessee bill, emphasizes the need for stricter laws to combat interstate shootings. Oklahoma's proposed tax exemption for firearm safety items has also passed a committee, although it faces potential challenges related to state revenue impacts. These legislative efforts reflect ongoing discussions about public safety and responsible gun ownership across multiple states.
