Michigan Democrats plotting next gun control push
Here they come again. In the wake of another “gun free” zone shooting in Texas, Michigan Democrats are gearing up to exploit yet another tragedy in their quest to gut our Second Amendment rights. Earlier this week, a committee in the Texas Legislature advanced a bill to ban adults aged 18-20 from purchasing a so-called […]
“Red Flag” Gun Confiscation Sent to Governor Whitmer
Earlier today the Michigan Senate passed the main bill of the “Red Flag” gun confiscation package (Senate Bill 83) on a party line vote, sending it to Governor Whitmer for her to sign into law. Here’s the vote: Still outstanding are the three other bills in the package (HB 4146, HB 4147, HB 4148). The […]
Gun control heading to Whitmer’s desk
Yesterday, the Michigan Senate voted along party lines to send mandatory storage legislation (SB 79 and 80) and the expansion of Michigan’s draconian pistol purchase permit scheme to ALL firearms (HB 4138, 4142 and 4143) to Governor Whitmer’s desk where she is expected to sign it into law. I’m not going to ask you to […]
Five Republicans betray gun owners
The stupid was strong in Lansing today. Five Republicans joined with radical anti-gun Democrats to vote for “lock up your safety” legislation that’ll make it harder for Michiganders to defend themselves in their own homes and will also have a devastating effect on youth hunting. Republican Leader Matt Hall (House District 42) was one of […]
Dems ram gun control through Senate
Senate Democrats continued their highly partisan, anti-gun assault on Michigan gun owners Thursday. Nearly all 11 Senate Bills (SB 76-86) were passed on party-line votes, sending them to the Michigan State House for consideration. Republicans held together and voted against all of the anti-gun proposals in the bill package including “Red Flag” gun confiscation, the […]

No votes, but three hearings
I just wanted to provide you with a quick update on what happened in Lansing this week. As you know, Democrats have started holding hearings on their gun control bills. Over in the House, they held hearings on HB 4127 and HB 4128 which would criminalize lawful carry at polling places and around ballot drop […]
Michigan Democrats Seeking to Expand “Gun Free” Zones
Lansing, MI – Tomorrow, the House Elections Committee is holding a hearing on a pair of gun control bills which would prohibit law-abiding Michiganders from possessing or carrying a firearm within 100 feet of a polling place on election day. “Intentionally criminalizing lawful concealed carry is an affront to the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding […]
Vote for gun control, lose their jobs
Michigan Democrats are charging ahead with their anti-gun agenda and we’re ready to fight back on all fronts. I’m already rolling out hard-hitting ads, mail, e-mail and text messages — urging pro-gun Michiganders to contact their lawmakers to oppose these radical measures. But if they charge ahead and pass “Red Flag” gun confiscation, universal gun […]
