Rather than address the root causes of mass shootings, fix access to mental health care, reform the National Instant Background Check System (NICS), and allow for improved school and workplace security, gun control activists prefer to blame legal gun owners. They have launched a massive and coordinated campaign to roll back our legal self defense rights. And it’s working!
Support for stricter gun laws is now at its highest point since 2000, surpassing even the weeks after Sandy Hook in 2012. We have recently been told by Michigan legislators and legislative staff that contacts to their offices in support of new gun control laws exceed opposition to new laws by a 9:1 margin. While the current pro-gun majority State House & State Senate help moderate the threat, it has stopped forward progress on our 2017 initiatives including permitless carry, enhanced concealed pistol licenses to allow carry in PFZs with advanced training, preemption enforcement, and a provisional CPL for 18-20 year olds.
Among very real gun control threats at the state level in Michigan are:
-The creation of “extreme risk protection orders” that allow the confiscation of firearms without due process.
-Requiring purchase permits for all long gun sales including private party sales and the addition of rifles and shotguns to Michigan’s firearms registry.
-Raising the age to 21 to purchase long guns.
-The expansion of gun free zones and a total ban on campus carry.
-New requirements on the storage of firearms in one’s home.
-State bans on magazines exceeding 10 rounds and other features of modern sporting rifles such as the AR-15.
Your state legislators need to hear from you immediately to help counter the gun control agenda!
