From WLBT
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A Jackson city councilman and a local advocacy group are pushing to ban gun sales in the capital city.
On Sunday, Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes, along with members of Reset Jackson, led a procession to the Mississippi State Capitol, where they posted a proposed bill on the front door.
The bill, according to advocates, would ban the selling and advertising of guns and ammo in the city limits.
“We deserve to bear arms just like everybody else, but this isn’t about having the right to bear arms,” said James Hopkins, founder of Reset Jackson. “We’re talking about selling arms.”
“When you’re the highest murder rate in the country, sometimes, you have to make common-sense decisions.”
The deadline to file general bills is Feb. 19. The bills must come out of committee by March 5.
Stokes says he and others will continue to push the legislation, even into the next session.
