      US is essentially just a compilation of 50 small countries that joined together to create a large military. Most laws are up to the states to enforce and create. Some states do a better job than others.

      It also means that they didn’t have a need for such a law until 2009.

        Yeah, because if MISSISSIPPI doesn’t have a law specifically forbidding something, it’s always just because it doesn’t happen.

        In related news, the past didn’t happen.

            It’s called knowing the first thing about the history and present day of the worst state in the Union.

            Fear mongering is what GOP politicians from Mississippi and other deep red states use to retain absolute power in spite of having done a consistently piss poor job for over half a century.
