While in the legislature, Brown has worked on legislation focusing on limited government, free enterprise, individual liberties, and strengthening families. In January 2013, Brown said that he was drafting legislation that would purportedly override federal gun control rules by making Mississippi-made firearms subject to state, rather than federal law.[2]
