GOA Action Alert. Click link to send pre-filled message. https://www.gunowners.org/mi06022025/ The Senate Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety Committee is preparing to hear a dangerous package of anti-gun bills that would trample on your Second Amendment rights and criminalize law-abiding citizens. All of these bills are currently in committee, backed by a coordinated effort from anti-gun lawmakers including Sens. Mallory McMorrow, Dayna Polehanki, Rosemary Bayer, Stephanie Chang, Paul Wojno, Veronica Klinefelt, and others. GOA strongly opposes these bills and will be monitoring the hearing closely. We need you to get involved: contact your senator today and tell them to vote NO on this anti-gun package. Let them know Michigan gun owners are watching and we will hold them accountable. Here is the legislation being discussed: SB 224: Accessory Ban GOA Position: Oppose Current Status: in the Senate Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety Committee Sponsored by Dayna Polehanki Co-sponsors Stephanie Chang, Paul Wojno, Mallory McMorrow, Veronica Klinefelt, Rosemary Bayer Senate Bill 224 Senate Bill 224 would make it a felony in Michigan to possess, manufacture, or sell suppressors and bump stocks SB 225: Gun Free Zones GOA Position: Oppose Current Status: in the Senate Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety Committee Sponsored by Dayna Polehanki Co-sponsors Stephanie Chang, Paul Wojno, Mallory McMorrow, Veronica Klinefelt, Rosemary Bayer Senate Bill 225 expands gun-free zones in Michigan by adding several new locations where even concealed pistol license (CPL) holders are prohibited from carrying. These now include the Michigan Capitol, legislative office buildings, college dorms and classrooms, and large entertainment venues. Violations carry escalating penalties, from civil fines and CPL suspensions to felony charges. SB 226: Carry Restrictions GOA Position: Oppose Current Status: in the Senate Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety Committee Sponsored by Rosemary Bayer Co-sponsors Dayna Polehanki, Stephanie Chang, Paul Wojno, Mallory McMorrow, Veronica Klinefelt Senate Bill 226 Prohibits possession of a firearm within 100 feet from any absent voter ballot drop box. SB 331: “Ghost Gun” Ban GOA Position: Oppose Current Status: in the Senate Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety Committee Sponsored by Mallory McMorrow Co-sponsors Dayna Polehanki, Sue Shink, Stephanie Chang, Jeff Irwin, Paul Wojno, Rosemary Bayer, Veronica Klinefelt, Mary Cavanagh Senate Bill 331 would make it illegal to make, sell, or even own a homemade gun (often called a “ghost gun”) in Michigan if it doesn’t have a serial number. It also bans certain gun parts and 3D-printed firearms unless they’re registered and serialized. People who build more than five firearms a year, or use tools like 3D printers to make guns, would need a federal license. Violating this law could lead to jail time and heavy fines. GOA opposes this bill because it targets law-abiding gun owners and criminalizes private firearm builds that have been legal for centuries. SB 332: “Ghost Gun” Criminal Penalties GOA Position: Oppose Current Status: in the Senate Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety Committee Sponsored by Mallory McMorrow Co-sponsors Dayna Polehanki, Sue Shink, Stephanie Chang, Jeff Irwin, Paul Wojno, Rosemary Bayer, Veronica Klinefelt, Mary Cavanagh Senate Bill 332 sets the punishment for gun control offenses created by SB 331. If passed, it would allow the state to send gun owners to prison for up to 15 years for things like owning a homemade gun without a serial number or failing to follow strict new storage laws. It makes sure that Michigan’s attempt to ban “ghost guns” and other private builds comes with harsh criminal penalties. GOA opposes SB 332 because it criminalizes responsible gun owners and backs up unconstitutional restrictions with felony-level consequences. |

What I sent. Mine is one of the authors. As your constituent and a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, I urge you to reconsider your vote on Senate Bills 224, 225, 226, 331, and 332. These bills attack my rights and the rights of my children. I am a proud suppressor owner and have self manufactured my own firearms. I and my children use these items for recreation, hunting, and self defense. Banning them will only hurt my family by making us felons which will lead to jail time, financial hardship, or even worse. I do not understand why you have such a hatred for firearms and their owners. We are not evil and the tools that we own and use are not evil. I am willing to discuss these topics. |

Sent to my Senator, State Rep and the Gretch: Good Morning, I am writing you today to express my opinion on the above Senate Bills and to remind you as my elected official, you are to represent my interests and concerns. This bills are a gross violation of both the Michigan, and more importantly, the US Constitution. Supporting these bills is unacceptable to the people you swore to represent. The US Supreme Court has ruled several times in the past that bans on firearms, firearm accessories and use restrictions are a violation of the 2nd Amendment. Please refer to Garland v. Cargill, District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022), McDonald v. City of Chicago (2010) for further guidance. I expect you to represent me as my elected representative. Failure to do so can and will lead to your removal from a position that demands the utmost trust. Thank you for your time, Feel free to copy it if you'd like |
