Democrats in Michigan have introduced a sweeping gun control measure in the State House just two months before their annual session ends. With the ubiquitous but idiotic term “assault weapons ban,” the bill 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, Guns.com is reporting. While not banning existing “assault weapons,” the bill would require owners who possess the guns to register them with the state – which I guarantee is not happening. This particular gun control bill was one of a package of eight other bills submitted in the aftermath of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Florida that left 49 people 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 — such as a suspected terrorist or a person who has threatened violence against a spouse — can’t walk into a store to buy one.” HB5996 would pick up on common leftist tropes about what an “assault weapon” is … banning any semi-auto or pump-action centerfire rifle, pistol or shotgun that uses either a detachable magazine or a fixed magazine holding more than 10 cartridges (much like the beloved Browning 9mm my father gave to me). It also – of course – bans any firearm with cosmetic features like a muzzle brake or compensator, barrel shroud, pistol grip on rifles, stocks on pistols or –hysterically – a “revolving cylinder” on shotguns. If passed, it would be the strictest gun control measures ever passed in the state. “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. Anyone found breaking the law would be guilty of a felony and face four years in prison. Gun control nuts in the state think this is awesome and tell us that the Second Amendment is really only about hunting. “None of the proposed legislation conflicts at all with the Second Amendment,” said Linda Brundage, executive director of the Michigan Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence, as reported by WWMT. “If you need an assault weapon to go hunting in Michigan, I suggest you get target practice. Those are weapons of war they don’t belong in our communities or our streets.” http://thefederalistpapers.org/us/nitwit-michigan-leftists-plan-another-assault-weapons-gun-grab

!fricken idiots!
Mom's old 742, Dad's old 760 and his 572 instantly classified as illegal assault weapons.
The stupidity is astounding.

Hillary isn't even elected yet, let alone appointed her for justice to SCOTUS, and it's already started.

This is how they get them boys. Pay attention.
If you have an unregistered semi auto, and you throw it in the truck to head to wherever for a little target practice, and get pulled over for broken tail light, guess what?
Making criminals out of honest people. How much of the lefts bullsheit are we going to tolerate ?

Not even a small chance.
#1 It was introduced to late in the "season". #2 House is 45 Demonrat, 62 Republican.
Nothing but feel good nonsense for their constituents for the upcoming elections.
These kinds of tactics will only hurt them here and gun control agendas will get more republicans elected.

the gov't can make a felon out of a person at the stroke of a pen.
that's all it takes.
but don't hold your breath. some "pro" gun orgn will come along and suggest that the auto's and pumps be licensed. yes! just like they sold "us" on concealed carry license tax.
keep a close eye on your friends in the gun community.

Yeah. Colt hasn't made a revolving cylinder shotgun in quite a few decades. But I still want one.

from the article, "Instead, they regulate the safe use of firearms and ensure that those who aren’t fit to have a weapon — such as a suspected terrorist or a person who has threatened violence against a spouse — can’t walk into a store to buy one.”how does the law do THAT?
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

The stupidity is astounding. Unfortunately it's not stupidity, they know exactly which weapons will fall in this category.

Just read Wittenberg's bio. Looks like he's well on his way to being a career politician POS.
