MI: Multiple Anti-Gun Bills Pass Michigan Senate

Last week, the Michigan Senate passed five dangerous anti-Second Amendment bills—a coordinated assault on your rights. While most of these bills passed on partisan lines, three Republican Senators broke ranks and sided with the anti-gun majority to pass SB 224, which criminalizes bump stocks and other common firearm accessories.

These bills do nothing to stop violent criminals—but they go a long way toward criminalizing and tracking you, the law-abiding gun owner.

The Anti-Gun Bills Which Just Passed:

• SB 224 – Bump Stock Ban
  Makes possession, manufacture, or sale of bump stocks or “multiburst trigger activators” a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and/or a $2,500 fine. GOP Senators Mark Huizenga, Thomas Albert, and Michael Webber voted YES with Democrats.
• SB 225 – Gun-Free Zones Expansion
  Expands “gun-free zones” in Michigan, further disarming law-abiding citizens while doing nothing to deter criminals.
• SB 226 – Firearms on Capitol Grounds Ban
  Codifies an unconstitutional ban on carrying firearms in and around the Capitol and other government buildings—effectively silencing the armed voice of the people.
• SB 331 & SB 332 – Ghost Gun Ban & Serialization Mandate Criminalizes private gun building and mandates serialization of homemade firearms and parts. These bills expand government tracking of gun owners and eliminate anonymous firearm ownership.

Michigan’s anti-gun majority in the Senate is working overtime to push California-style gun control—and weak Republicans are helping them do it. These bills won’t stop criminals, but they will create felons out of law-abiding Michiganders who simply exercise their rights.

Contact your senator and demand accountability for this betrayal of the Second Amendment. Let them know that supporting any form of gun control is a betrayal—and that Gun Owners of America will hold them accountable.
