Michigan Dems introduce ‘assault weapon’ ban in state House
Only weeks away from a general election and with two months left in session, Democrats in the Michigan House on Wednesday debuted a sweeping gun prohibition proposal.

The measure, introduced Oct. 19, would ban the sale of most semi-auto or pump-action firearms capable of accepting a detachable magazine and require those in the state to be registered under threat of a felony punishable by four years in prison.

The legislation joined eight other bills in a gun control package submitted in the aftermath of the terror attack at the Pulse nightclub in Florida that left 49 dead.

“None of these measures take away from our Second Amendment right to own a gun,” said state Rep. Robert Wittenberg, D-Oak Park, sponsor of the latest proposal, in a statement about the measure. “Instead, they regulate the safe use of firearms and ensure that those who aren’t fit to have a weapon

“Assault weapons” already in circulation could be retained by their owners but would need to be registered with the state police. The bill would also empower the agency to conduct annual inspections of the gun to ensure safe storage. Once registered, the owner would have to update their registration every year and could only possess it in working order at shooting ranges or their own property, with the transport to and from being unloaded and in a secured container.

Sounds like the furher has been busy in other states. 10 ring a bell

 

[Celt]

Seriously, because of a politician with an agenda an inanimate object can turn a law abiding citizen into a felon. Its just mind boggling how anyone can accept this.

 

[Greywolf224]

Hhmm. The disease is spreading.

 

[GOYABEAN]

FUCK THEM ALL including the ASS WIPE that started it all FUAC HEAD DIP SHIT

 

[Catskillkid]

Hhmm. The disease is spreading.

Just move to a free state and you'll be fine. Sure you will. For a while maybe.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Good thing the people in Michigan don't live in NY.

"Never let a serious crisis go to waste," I am not fond of quoting Rahm Emanuel but maybe this will get the fudds off their backsides and vote, they may sit up their having a circle jerk wishing Jebra or some other establishment POS was on the GOP ticket, but this is for real and Americans better stand tall or the Republic is over.

 

[BerettaGuy]

There is no doubt that this is a test. The Dems are betting that they can buffalo the populous and still be re-elected. If they win, it will go national.

"The bill would also empower the agency to conduct annual inspections of the gun to ensure safe storage."

And how are they going to do that?

The bill would also empower the agency to conduct annual inspections of the gun OWNER'S HOME to ensure safe storage.

They will allow you to keep SOME of your 2nd Amendment rights only if you agree to give up part of your 4th Amendment rights. Sounds like a fair trade to me. NOT.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

AND it's coming to your home town.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Note the addition of pump action to the list of deadly features .

Hopefully this'll motivate Michigan to go red in November .

Oh...so now handguards are being redefined as "barrel shrouds" and deemed evil features:

15 (b) "Barrel shroud" means a covering, other than a slide, that
16 is attached to, or that substantially or completely encircles the
17 barrel of, a firearm and that allows the bearer of the firearm to
18 hold the barrel with the nonshooting hand while firing the firearm
19 without burning that hand. Barrel shroud does not include an
20 extension of the stock along the bottom of the barrel if the
21 extension of the stock does not substantially or completely
22 encircle the barrel.​

 

[Phazer]

WTF???? They won't permit you to own a rifle and a pistol?

11 (2) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (4) and section
12 4, a person shall not possess at the same time, or have under his
13 or her control at the same time, both of the following:
14 (a) A semiautomatic or pump-action rifle or semiautomatic
15 pistol capable of accepting a detachable magazine.
16 (b) A magazine capable of use with that firearm that contains
17 more than 10 rounds of ammunition.​

Sell-em' while you still can...You KNOW this is coming to NY in 2017...

this wont motivate anyone. Remember, Hilary is winning across country, even people in Texas voting for her, this country is truly dumb. If everyone who owned a firearm voted correctly, we would win in a landslide. People just don't get it.

It's like our circle is getting smaller

Like....a noose.

 

[ProgSpear]

Sell-em' while you still can...You KNOW this is coming to NY in 2017...

and the compliance will be even less than the vaunted "Assault Rifle" registration scheme.... Stupid bastards.

Small incremental steps to methodically eliminate our constitutional guaranteed freedoms.
