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 arent fit to have a weapon such as a suspected terrorist or a person who has threatened violence against a spouse cant walk into a store to buy one.
Wittenbergs newest effort, HB 5996, would define an assault weapon under Michigan law to be any semi-auto or pump-action centerfire rifle, pistol or shotgun that uses either a detachable magazine or a fixed magazine that holds more than 10 cartridges or any number of cosmetic features such as a muzzle brake or compensator, barrel shroud, pistol grip (on rifles), stock (on pistols) or revolving cylinder (on shotguns).

I guess a Ruger 10-22 must be in high demand for mass shooters.
Oh, I think they get “infringe”. It’s the “shall not” they are struggling with.
No, we're just going to make it a felony for you to own anything more than a pea shooter.
And then we'll make peas illegal.
And don't even THINK about pointing your finger and going "PEW PEW PEW"
It’s only the militia, doncha know.
That’s like the military today, duh.
So how does BLM feel about gun bans?
Dumb FKN people.
Before the TBA I had a 40 year old Weatherby Mark XXII semi-auto .22 LR rifle that used detachable 10 round magazines that would be banned, same for any magazine fed semi-auto pistol. Looks like those DemonRats are pushing for a Trump victory in Michigan.
Representative Scumberg, insurance salesman:

He may have been run out of Indiana.
If the state House is anything like the US House, they all are. But the sponsor is probably in a safe district.
Rapist Bill Clinton is an assault weapon. Will he be banned from Michigan?
Hey, Rep. Wittenberg: F*** you!
I don’t think so.
Has Ted Nugent expressed any desire to be governor?
Wang dang sweet veto power!

Uh, there IS the REQUIRED FFL check...........but hey Democrats - keep repeating those lies for fools and idiots.
Well from the looks of things, Rep Wittenberg (Commie Capo RAT, former insurance agent) is pi$$ing into the wind, cuz both houses of the Michigan Legislature are in GOP control by hefty margins.
