Mississippi’s new Senate Bill 2710 changes how certain violent crimes involving juveniles and firearms are handled. Police officer and father Cederick Jenkins explains what the law means, why it matters and why every parent should have an honest conversation with their children.

Mississippi’s new gun law takes effect July 1, 2026, requiring juveniles accused of certain firearm-related offenses to be prosecuted as adults.
