Michigan Democrats have a gun control legislation package that includes a ban on magazines holding more than ten rounds, a three-day waiting period for gun purchases, and an increased minimum firearm purchase age, among other things.
The MidWesterner reported the controls are being “pushed by gun control groups like Giffords and Everytown for Gun Safety.”
The age increase for gun purchases would be 21 years and, in addition to a waiting period, pre-purchase certification would be acquired via a mandated firearms course.
Michigan Public Radio noted state Democrats are also pushing a ban on bump stocks.
Great Lakes Gun Rights responded to the gun control push by reposting Heather Dow’s comments: “The Lansing lefties want to take more of your second amendment rights away. They’ve proposed banning bump stocks and magazines with more than ten rounds, mandating firearm courses, and raising the firearm purchasing age to 21. Call your lefty legislators and tell them to stop Californiaing my Michigan.”
