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  If enacted, this NRA-priority legislation would  repeal the long-standing and outdated license-to-purchase system  for handgun purchases through a Federally Licensed Firearms Dealer  (FFL).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

HSUS Support Plummets

Posted on December 12, 2012

In a recent online article, “Unpacking the HSUS Gravy Train (2012 Edition)” the watchdog group Humane Watch, reveals some interesting news about the Humane Society of the United States. Perhaps most interesting is that HSUS financial support dropped by $8.5 million in 2011.

The report notes that HSUS’s overall total revenue actually dropped by 10% thanks to declining public support and losses in investment income. That Humane Watch report also indicates that grants made by HSUS for the purpose of aiding pet sheltering appear to make up about only 0.25% (one-quarter of one percent) of HSUS’s budget. It seems that all the negative publicity surrounding the HSUS is beginning to take a toll—at the bank.

This online Humane Watch report also notes that HSUS had fundraising-related expenses of $48.1 million, or a whopping 38 percent of its total budget, in 2011. Another interesting fact is that HSUS added another $2.4 million to its pension plan, bringing the total to about $17 million since Wayne Pacelle took over as CEO in 2004. They are planning for their future while suffering animals seem to be ignored. Read more
