Michigan: Bill Repealing Permit-to-Purchase Passes State Senate, Goes to House for Concurrence Vote

Today, the Michigan Senate approved House Bill 5225  by a 27 to 11 vote.  If enacted, this NRA-priority legislation would  repeal the long-standing and outdated license-to-purchase system  for handgun purchases through a Federally Licensed Firearms Dealer  (FFL).

HB 5225, despite passing in the state House by an overwhelming 74 to 36  vote, required some last minute changes to guarantee passage and the  Governor’s signature this legislative session.  The amended and passed  version of HB 5225 is a big first step, in what will be many steps, to  repeal Michigan’s antiquated and ineffective gun control measures.

The amended version of HB 5225 has many incremental improvements for which gun owners across the state will benefit, including: Read more

So, he’s not the first person to attempt to board an airplane with a handgun.  But, this “do-as-I-say” state senator from Chicago, Donne Trotter, has strongly opposed concealed carry legislation.  So, he’s not the first two-faced politician, either.  At least he stated to authorities that the gun was legally registered in Chicago.  Oh, yeah.  He’s not the first liar in politics, either.  The account of the two-faced, hypocritical, gun-grabbing, liar is here…

Michigan: Time Running Out to Repeal State Handgun Registration and Permit System

The Michigan Legislature returned yesterday for the last few weeks of their 2012 legislative session with several pro-gun bills still pending consideration.  House Bill 5225 and its companion bills, legislation that   would eliminate the state handgun “permit-to-purchase” and registration requirements in Michigan, have been languishing in the state Senate for months, so your state Senator and the Senate leadership need to hear from gun owners across Michigan today!  Since the state House passed HB 5225 back in June, the Michigan Senate is the only remaining obstacle to getting this vital bill to the Governor.
