A Mississippi Spate

The House on Tuesday passed a trio of gun-rights bills — one to prevent local governments from buying guns to destroy them, another to make clear local governments can’t seize guns during states of emergency or martial law and one clarifying state gun laws preempt local ordinances. [More]
A trio?  Oh, they mean a spate.
 
I talked about HB 314 here.  Of special significance:
The legislation will also allow private citizens to hold counties and municipalities liable for ordinances that violate state preemption, giving them the ability to challenge such edicts in court, and providing attorney fees and a civil penalty that may not be paid with public funds.
