Who is required to undergo a background check before purchasing a firearm in Mississippi?

  1. Only law enforcement personnel

  2. Every purchaser

  3. Only first-time purchasers

  4. No one

The correct answer is: Every purchaser

In Mississippi, every purchaser is required to undergo a background check before purchasing a firearm. This measure is in place to help ensure that firearms do not end up in the hands of individuals who are prohibited by law from possessing them, such as individuals with prior felony convictions or those with a history of domestic violence. By requiring every purchaser to undergo a background check, the state aims to promote public safety and prevent potential misuse of firearms. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
