Michigan Democrats voted to rush gun control legislation through before Republicans take the state house majority in January, the Detroit Free Press reported Thursday.
Democrat Michigan State Sen. Dayna Polehanki told reporters that the Democrats passed a ban on possessing bump stocks and unserialized firearms, sometimes referred to as “ghost guns,” because “Republicans won’t do [it] on their own,” according to the Detroit Free Press. Republicans won a majority in the state senate by a single seat in the 2024 election. The bump stock provision passed with three Republicans supporting the Democrats, with the ghost gun law passing along party lines.
“I have a strong core belief that the people’s constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms and the right of self defense is absolute and cannot be restricted, infringed or regulated to the point that a law abiding citizen would find themselves in violation of laws just for having certain types of guns,” Republican State Rep. Jim DeSana told the Detroit Free Press on the bump stock ban.
Bump stocks became a contentious issue after one was used in the Las Vegas shooting, which killed 58 people and wounded 850, according to the Detroit Free Press. Bump stocks allow for the rapid fire of a gun by allowing a user to pull the trigger faster, achieving a comparable rate of fire to that of an automatic weapon without changing the trigger mechanism.
Former President Donald Trump’s administration enacted a bump stock ban in response to the shooting in 2018. However, The Supreme Court blocked the regulation in June, saying it was a violation of the Second Amendment....SNIP
What about choice?
“The only restriction written into the Second Amendment is a restriction on legislating restrictions” L.Star
> What about choice?
The only choices the demonrat party offers are:
1. prenatal infanticide
2. genital mutilation for all ages
3. euthanasia
4. any and all sexual perversions
5. as many tats and piercings as possible
6. any and all drugs as recreational vectors
The choices they want to remove are:
1. self defense in any form
2. gas powered vehicles
3. travel for travel sake
4. alternative education
5. alternative medicine
6. the Christian faith
Supreme Court, already adjudicated, supremacy law.
If it was so important, why did they not do it before?
Comparable rate of fire......?
That is not what the Supreme Court did. The Supreme Court ruled the ATF did not have the authority to make such a rule without Congress passing a statue which gave it such a power.
His daughter is a cutie and a world champion too......
They truly are “Dims”...
Democrats aka Demoncrats aka US Division of Satan’s Army
I didn’t know Republicans took the legislature in the election. Excellent!!!
1. self defense in any form
2. gas powered vehicles
3. travel for travel sake
4. alternative education
5. alternative medicine
6. the Christian faith
7. school choice
8. not to cater or provide services/products for a queer 'wedding.'
It seems like the insurance assassin’s gun (3d printed) serves to help anti-gun folks justify and rationalize more gun (and amo?) restrictions.
