In some cases, it will prevent people from defending themselves effectively.

Why are gun control laws ineffective?
Some argue that gun control laws are ineffective because they primarily target law-abiding citizens, rather than criminals who obtain firearms through illegal means.

How do i get a gun unregistered in Mississippi?
There are several parts to the answer.
Part 1: There is no handgun registration in Mississippi. You can sell a handgun to another person who isn't restricted in a personal transaction and nothing is required by law as long as the other person also lives in MS. You can, if you choose, print up a bill of sale, so you have evidence that you sold the gun.
Part 2: You can also, if you choose, go to a gun shop or any FFL holder and have them process a transfer. Some dealers won't process transfers between two individuals. The ones that do, will charge a fee, usually somewhere between $25 and $100.
Part 3: If you're talking about a gun that has been stolen (or missing), you should file a police report, but there isn't really any way to "get it out of your name" because, strictly speaking, it isn't "in your name."
