Anti-gun legislators in Michigan are still working to pass legislation restricting Second Amendment rights. Several gun control bills we have previously reported on have passed out of committee and are now eligible for a floor vote. Legislators have also introduced bills that would allow localities to ban open carry in government buildings and add further bureaucratic red tape to the purchasing of firearms. Please use the take action button below to ensure your voice is heard and urge your representative to OPPOSE these bills.
These bills passed out of the House Judiciary committee today and will be eligible for a vote on the House floor:
House Bill 4198: Guts the state firearms preemption law by giving local governments the authority to regulate the open carry of firearms in buildings owned or rented by the governmental entity.
House Bills 6183, 6184, and 6185: Directly undermine the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act by abolishing immunity for firearm manufacturers and opening them up to frivolous lawsuits and vastly increased liability exposure. These bills also mandate the purchase or offer for sale of a trigger lock or secure storage container when transferring a firearm.
House Bills 6222 and 6223: Require anyone selling a firearm to report any attempt by a prohibited person to acquire said firearm to law enforcement within 24 hours. Failure to do so would be a FELONY.
