SB 2313: No more registering suppressors

Effective upon passage, April 5, 2016, Senate Bill 2313 has done away with the requirement that firearm sound suppressors be registered with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.

Under the previous law, Mississippi Code § 97-37-31, “All such instruments or devices [suppressors] shall be registered with the Department of Public Safety.”  So far as I know the form was never available on DPS’s website and most dealers were not even aware of the requirement.  The suppressor registration process was rarely followed and I am not aware of an instance in which it was enforced.
