NRA-ILA | Michigan: Final Push to Limit Gun Rights as Session Clock Runs Down

With only a few days left in the session, anti-gun legislators are doing everything they can to pass additional legislation restricting the Second Amendment rights of Michigan citizens. The legislation below could be taken up anytime and with short notice. Please use the two take action buttons below to contact your legislators and urge them to OPPOSE anti-gun legislation!

Use this button to contact your senator and urge them to OPPOSE these anti-gun bills:

House Bills 5450 & 5451: Mandate public schools annually post and distribute information regarding the state’s mandatory storage laws to the parents and guardians of every enrolled student. 

House Bills 6144, 6145, and 6146: Require law enforcement agencies to destroy any firearm that has been confiscated or returned during a “gun buy-back”.

Use this button to contact your representative and urge them to OPPOSE these anti-gun bills:

Senate Bills 1149 & 1150: Propose severe restrictions on “home built” firearms and the raw materials used to make them.

Senate Bill 942: Seeks to ban bump stocks, making them illegal to own, sell, or possess in Michigan—imposing stricter regulations than those governing machine guns. This comes despite the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the federal ban on bump stocks earlier this year.

Senate Bill 1086: Creates both a temporary and indefinite “Do Not Sell” list that suspend an individual’s Second Amendment firearms purchase rights. Although joining such lists would be voluntary, removal from these databases has proven to be exceedingly difficult in the few states which have adopted such laws.

House Bills 6183, 6184, and 6185: Directly undermine the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act by abolishing immunity for firearm manufacturers and opening them up to frivolous lawsuits and vastly increased liability exposure. These bills also mandate the purchase or offer for sale of a trigger lock or secure storage container when transferring a firearm.

House Bills 6222 and 6223: Require anyone selling a firearm to report any attempt by a prohibited person to acquire said firearm to law enforcement within 24 hours. Failure to do so would be a FELONY.

SB 857 and SB 858: Expand “gun-free zones” in Michigan by prohibiting gun owners from carrying a firearm in the Michigan State Capitol Building, the Binsfeld Senate Office Building, and the Anderson House Office Building, with an exception for legislators. The Capitol Commission in recent years banned both open and concealed firearms carry in the Capitol and Democrat leadership restricted citizens’ rights to carry in legislative office buildings by rule. This legislation would expand and codify those restrictions into state law, making it near impossible for citizens to regain the right to carry in these areas.
