Michigan Dometic Violence and Personal Protection Orders Bill Pending Signature

This from MCRGO…

Senate Bill 789 –

Senate Bill 789, reforms Michigan’s concealed pistol licensing process, eliminates county gun boards and makes Michigan a true shall-issue state. It has still not been acted on by Governor Snyder. The bill was presented to the governor on December 31. Snyder has until this Wednesday, January 14, to either sign the bill or veto the bill. If he does not act on it, the bill will be pocket vetoed. The former legislature, no longer in session, cannot override the veto.

Over the past week, misinformation has been publicized regarding SB 789’s impact on victims of violence and potential victims of violence. This misinformation is inaccurate and is either politically-motivated, or based on a failure to evaluate the legislation in its entirety, the context of all applicable state and federal laws, and their practical application in our legal system.

SB 789 is a process-only reform bill that retains and actually strengthens Michigan’s CPL eligibility standards, among – if not -the strongest of any “shall issue” state in the nation. It ensures action against a concealed pistol license (CPL) following criminal charges, a conviction, or a firearms restriction personal protection order (PPO) is immediate, automatic and does not require deliberative action by gun boards. It has absolutely no impact on a victim’s ability to obtain a PPO. It enhances the ability of actual or potential victims of violence to protect themselves using all tools afforded by the legal system, including a CPL; and it updates the CPL law to conform to federal protections for private medical records.

Court rules against environmentalists seeking EPA regs for lead bullets

“Given that bullets and shot can become spent only if they are first contained in a cartridge or shell and then fired from a weapon,” the environmental groups “have identified no way in which EPA could regulate spent bullets and shot without also regulating cartridges and shells,” precisely what the law prohibits, said the decision by appeals judge David Tatel, a nominee of President Bill Clinton. The other two judges on the case were Patricia Millett and Cornelia Pillard, both nominees of President Barack Obama.

NRA Warns of Confirmation Vote on Anti-Gun Surgeon General Nominee

President Obama has nominated anti-gun activist Vivek Murthy for the post of U.S. Surgeon General. Particularly given the president’s determination to reinvigorate taxpayer-funded gun control propaganda under the guise of public health research, confirmation of Dr. Murthy would pose a serious threat to the rights of gun owners. Dr. Murthy’s résumé of partisan activism on behalf of gun control, in which he specifically leveraged his status as a doctor, is detailed at length in a letter NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris Cox sent on Tuesday to Senators Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Harry Reid (D-Nev.), reasserting NRA’s opposition to his nomination.

CCRKBA Calls for Full Disclosure of ASLGVP Membership, Funding

When an organization consists of elected public officials, there must be complete transparency.

BELLEVUE, WA – In response to this week’s launch of a new gun control organization consisting of state legislators from all 50 states, plus Puerto Rico, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today called on the American State Legislators for Gun Violence Prevention to immediately publish a roster of their members, and disclose their funding sources.

“Private lobbying organizations might expect to have some degree of privacy,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan M. Gottlieb, “but when an organization consists of elected public officials, there must be complete transparency. The public deserves to know who belongs to this organization, and who is providing financial support.”

He noted that the group’s mailing address is at a Post Office box in New York City’s Madison Square Station.

Reuters reported that the ASLGVP had not released information on its preliminary donors, acknowledging only that fundraising efforts are in progress. Another report said that the group had not yet published a list of members, said to number around 200 lawmakers, over concerns about “political backlash.” The group was launched by Democratic New York Assemblyman Brian Kavanagh.

“If these state lawmakers are worried about political backlash back home,” Gottlieb observed, “they must have good reason for that. Reports say Kavanagh founded this group because Congress has not adopted certain gun control measures. This has become the argument of the gun prohibition lobby. They failed to pressure Congress, so now the strategy is to attack gun rights at the state level, where presumably members of this new anti-gun lawmakers’ group will push their gun control agenda through the state legislatures.

SAF Launches Media Campaign Against Possible Obama Arms Treaty Executive Order

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation has launched a national media campaign and petition effort to head off a possible executive order by President Barack Obama to implement the United Nations small arms treaty.

The media campaign and petition threaten legal action if the president tries to circumvent the U.S. Senate and the will of the American people. SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb said considerable deliberation preceded his decision to mount the effort.

“We’re going to gather millions of petitions and deliver them to Washington,” Gottlieb vowed. “We’re going to tell the Obama administration to keep its hands off of our gun rights or be sued.

“Nobody threatens to sue the President of the United States on a whim,” he added. “But he has used a lawless executive order to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants without Congressional authorization, and now many people are worried that he plans to bypass Congress again, before the end of this year, with the U.N. treaty, which takes effect on Dec. 24.

“If the president acts on the U.N. Arms Trade treaty,” Gottlieb said, “it would be the worst kind of Christmas present he could ever give to the American people. Read more
