Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow is directly attacking your right to keep and bear arms.
Today, SB 1149 and SB 1150 are being heard by the committee on Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety. If these bills pass, they will amend the Handgun Licensure Act to do the following:
- Prohibit an individual from manufacturing, assembling, importing, purchasing, selling, or transferring a firearm, frame, or receiver that did not have a valid serial number.
- Beginning January 1, 2025, prohibit a person from knowingly possessing a firearm or any completed or unfinished frame or receiver that was not imprinted with a valid serial number.
- Prohibit the use of a 3D printer or CNC milling machine for unlicensed firearm manufacturing.
- Prohibit the sale of 3D printers or CNC milling machines for the purpose of unlicensed firearm manufacturing and specify that there would be a presumption that the machines would be intended for manufacturing if marketed as such.
- Prohibit an unlicensed individual from manufacturing more than three firearms annually and require the individual to notify the MSP within 10 days of producing a firearm.
- Prescribe misdemeanor and felony penalties for violating the bill’s provisions.
- Require a person who moved into the State to comply with the serialization requirements within 90 days of moving.
- Building homemade firearms is an American tradition that has existed since the founding of our country.
You will note that all of the new “crimes” listed above are harmless activities that thousands of non-violent gun owners perform.
No legislator should be sponsoring, let alone voting for SB 1149 and SB 1150 which constitute a direct attack on the Second Amendment.
Please contact your Senator and let them know we will not stand for this encroachment on our rights.
