Michigan to end Ban on Some Rifles and Shotguns
Senate Bill 610 has passed both the House and the Senate, and is headed to Governor Snyder. The bill will end nearly a hundred years of a pointless ban on the possession of short barreled rifles and shotguns. The Governor has said that he will sign the bill. From the mcrgo facebook page:
Regardless, Governor Snyder has indicated he will sign SB 610. The bill will have immediate effect upon his signature. The photo here with Sen. Mike Green is for illustrative purposes only and is not Green's SB 610.
It has been suggested that the Michigan ban served as the template for the weird ban by regulation and tax on short barreled rifles and shotguns that exists in the National Firearms Act of 1934. The Michigan ban was passed in 1931. This new law defers to the 1934 Federal law as it exists now, allowing possession of the short barreled rifles and shotguns, if registered under the NFA. NFA 1934 was upheld in the infamous Miller decision.
