Michigan Senate panel approves bill to lift ban on short-barreled shotguns and rifles

The Michigan Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday unanimously approved legislation that would lift the state’s ban on short-barreled shotguns and rifles.

Short-barreled shotguns and rifles are regulated under federal law and must be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Buyers are required to go through a background check and pay a $200 tax.

Because short-barreled guns are less than 26 inches in length, they would also be subject to existing pistol regulations in Michigan.

Senate Bill 610 now heads to the full Senate for consideration.

Last year The Center for Consumer Freedom polled over 1,000 self-identified donors to the Humane Society of the United States to figure out just what they knew about the group. As it turned out, many donors—like the general publichad a false impression about how their money was being used. They still do.
