| What does that mean for Mississippi? Can I replace my pistol brace with a normal stock? |

(Not a lawyer) I don't think anyone knows for sure. Mississippi is a gray area because we have state laws that tie into fed law/regs in terms of NFA registration. Those fed laws/regs are still in effect. Now, if you're one of the parties listed in the ruling (GOA), then you may be able to, but state law still says otherwise. Since Mississippi didnt join the case, we aren't part of the ruling from a state standpoint. I think we have to wait on some sort of clarification from Lynn Fitch and ATF. So its clear as mud.  Edit: on top of that, there are likely different interpretations for 4473/form4 items at an FFL vs Form 1 . |

Edit: on top of that, there are likely different interpretations for 4473/form4 items at an FFL vs Form 1 . It's a clusterfuck and anyone transferring cans before getting guidance from ATF and DOJ is taking a huge risk in my opinion, I've always been on the more cautious side of avoiding federal pound me in the ass prison though Our state law 97-37-31 says "It shall be unlawful for any person, persons, corporation or manufacturing establishment, not duly authorized under federal law, to make, manufacture, sell or possess any instrument or device which, if used on firearms of any kind, will arrest or muffle the report of the firearm when shot or fired." So the question now is what constitutes being duly authorized under federal law? The way I interpret it is that as long as you're following federal law (whatever that may be) then you're GTG in the states eyes. Also, not an attorney, just a dumb redneck.

I guess reading is fundamental... I see the OP's question was about pistol vs SBR. Unfortunately SBR's and SBS's are still regulated by the 1968 GCA so that's a whole other can of worms that's gonna have to be untangled. Fun fact: the 1968 GCA is why SBR's are 16" and shotguns are still 18"
