Michigan: Senate Judiciary Committee Unanimously Approves to Lift...

The ban on Short barrel shotguns and rifles!!!!

On Tuesday, the Michigan Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved Senate Bill 610 that would lift Michigan’s ban on the private ownership of short-barreled rifles and shotguns. Short-barreled rifles and shotguns are strictly regulated under the federal National Firearms Act. Therefore, by repealing this longstanding state gun ban, Michigan law would conform with federal law, and align Michigan with more than forty other states that already allow their resident to possess these firearms. Short-barreled rifles and shotguns are subject to restrictive regulations including requiring their buyers to undergo a background investigation, pay a $200 tax and register these firearms with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

The NRA applauds the Senate Judiciary Committee voting to repeal this gun ban. Since SB 610 is now eligible for consideration on the state Senate floor, please contact your state Senator in SUPPORT of Senate Bill 610.

I picked a good day to dig throuh my SPAM messages in my e-mail. I found this message from the NRA and I couldn't be more pleased to learn of this. I'm almost finished with a 300AAC AR15 build and really wanted to put a short barrel on it. So glad I can do that now. Time to fill out some paperwork and get a check in the mail.

Sweet. My AR pistol build may evolve into an SBR build.

Does this still need to cross Snyder's desk?

Next define a shotgun as 26" overall length instead of the current 30". My 1970s vintage H. Koon .410 bore Snake Charmer, inherited when my Dad passed away, is registered in Michigan as a handgun because it is under 30" in overall length.
