It has to go back to Sen. Randy Richardville in the Senate.

Here is his press release and list of supporting organizations. The Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners, Michigan United Conservation Clubs, National Rifle Association, Shooters Alliance for Firearm Rights and Great Lakes Shooting Sports Association support the legislation.

www.senate.michigan.gov/gop/readarticle.asp?id=1564&District=17

Consider writing to him and the supporting gun orginazations and saying that the burdens imposed by the revised bill are worse than those imposed under the current law. The bill is essentially a proposal to adopt computerized registration of all pistols, accessible by the police in the LIEN network at any time. The FBI NCIS law is not even this pervasive. NICS is simply a background check, this bill is full blown registration. NCIS destroys the records, here the State Police keep it forever.

Here is a short list of the new items:
--state police computerized database of all pistols you obtain (state police "red file")
--you must document your purchase or face state civil infraction with possible loss of CCP
--you must carry your purchase permit for 30 days
--expands power of state police to seize weapon if you did not report purchase
--Expands purchase permit requirement to pistols on loan belonging to someone
--Requires 4 purchase permits not three and requires you to send two to the local or state police.

How does Glenn Anderson stand?
He has NO spine.

Dear Mr. Holloway:

Thank you for your recent communication regarding Senate Bill 370 and 371. I
appreciate your comments.

While I certainly understand the importance of safety with all firearms, the in
person safety inspections for hand gun owners seem to be an unnecessary step for
owners to take. After extensive background checks and other safety hurdles,
this bill would allow owners to provide documentation via mail of their
purchasing agreements and completed licenses. The bill still provides certain
requirements and prohibitions which are intended to keep citizens safe. This
legislation would also save State and Local Governments significant revenue, at
a time when local governments all over the State are experiencing revenue
shortfalls.

Recently, I supported both pieces of legislation on the Senate floor.

Thank you again for taking the time to write and share your thoughts on this
issue. Should you have any questions or concerns in the future please do not
hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Glenn S. Anderson

Michigan State Senator
6th District

I sent this email to these Reps

senacropsey@senate.michigan.gov, senacropsey@senate.michigan.gov , senrichardville@senate.michigan.gov , senasanborn@senate.michigan.gov , senbpatterson@senate.michigan.gov , senwkuipers@senate.michigan.gov , senrkahn@senate.michigan.gov , senrjelinek@senate.michigan.gov , senmjansen@senate.michigan.gov , senjgilbert@senate.michigan.gov , tonyaschuitmaker@house.mi.gov , davidlaw@house.mi.gov , kevinelsenheimer@house.mi.gov , johnstakoe@house.mi.gov , rickjones@house.mi.gov , toryrocca@house.mi.gov


The Honorable Senator,

As a Westland resident and homeowner I concur with Kerry Morgan's assessment of
what this
legislation has become - full blown centralized computerized registration. We
all know or should beware of registration because with registration comes the
potential for confiscation.

It's happened before in history and will happen again if we let it.

It matters not, whether we are a Democrat or a Republican for this bill smacks
of 1935 Germany. We are not Germans but rather Americans and thus should act
like it.

To be American is to love freedom. Freedom to go about your daily life without
having to show someone your "papers". Freedom to be secure in your life and
personal
effects. Freedom to exercise self evident rights. Freedom without governmental
oppression.

It is my opinion and position that the substitute bill is no longer in the best
interests of any freedom loving, law abiding American and I object to it and
hereby oppose it for the following reason and for the reasons Kerry has pointed out;

Entry of purchased pistols into the LEIN database which is generally reserved
for criminal background. I don't want this information in LEIN where any average
John Q. Law can inquire about it. We all know inquiries are run on the LEIN
system for other than lawful purposes by people who want information on people.
This has happened and I don't want people accessing how many guns I own short of
a court order - and I don't want it to be an easy process. Looking up green
cards manually as the result of a criminal investigation suits me fine.

I don't want these new intrusions into my sovereignty and my Constitutional
rights as a free citizen of the United States of America and I reject this
legislation as written as I would expect you to also.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

--
Respectfully,

Douglas Holloway

Been following the issues and the site for quite some time, just now registering. Delighted to be here.

Do I understand that the proposed legislation requires a LICENSE to own, transport, carry.........even OPEN CARRY a pistol? Is this in ADDITION tonow having our pistols registered? I'm rapidly becoming of the opinion that this is substantially WORSE than what we have now. Any attorney's out there willing to comment on the proposal? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?

Honestly, I don't think it will change much. You already need to get the license to purchase, this just makes it into a license to purchase and possess. Carrying around the proof of ownership for 30 days sucks, and I don't know whether or not the entry into the electronic system is anything new.

This requirement is only for those who do not have a CPL.

Oops!!! My bad.

Page 1 of 2 4490&4491/0708

PISTOL RECORDS; SAFETY INSPECTIONS H.B. 4490 (S-2) & 4491 (S-1):

FLOOR SUMMARY

House Bill 4490 (Substitute S-2 as reported by the Committee of the Whole)

House Bill 4491 (Substitute S-1 as reported by the Committee of the Whole)

Sponsor: Representative Paul Opsommer (S.B. 4490)

Representative Joel Sheltrown (S.B. 4491)

House Committee: Tourism, Outdoor Recreation, and Natural Resources

Senate Committee: Judiciary

CONTENT

House Bill 4490 (S-2) would amend the handgun licensure Act to do the following:

-- Repeal Section 9, which requires a person within Michigan who owns or comes into possession of a pistol to present it for a safety inspection to the commissioner or chief of police of the city, township, or village, or to the sheriff of the county, where the person resides.

-- Require a purchaser to return two copies of a completed license to a licensing authority within 10 days after the date the pistol was purchased (as currently required) or acquired.

-- Allow a purchaser to return the copies of the license to the licensing authority in person or by first-class or certified mail sent within the 10-day period.

-- Provide that a purchaser who failed to return copies of the license would be responsible for a State civil infraction and could be fined up to $250.

-- Require the court to notify the State Police of a State civil infraction determination.

-- Allow a licensee to carry, use, possess, and transport the pistol only while he or she was in possession of his or her copy of the license, for 30 days beginning on the date of purchase or acquisition.

-- Require licensing authorities with the ability to enter data electronically into the pistol entry database to enter license information required by the Department of State Police into the database; and require those without the ability to enter data electronically to provide that information to the State Police in a manner required by the Department.

-- Allow purchasers to obtain a copy of the information in the database to verify its accuracy.

-- Require licensing authorities to continue to provide to the State Police pistol descriptions required under Section 9 of the Act.

-- Prohibit a person from possessing a pistol in this State without first having obtained a license for it.

House Bill 4491 (S-1) would repeal Section 228 of the Michigan Penal Code, which makes it is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days' imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $100 to fail to have a pistol inspected as required under Section 9 of the handgun licensure Act.

The bills are tie-barred to each other and to Senate Bill 370, and would take effect 180 days after the date they were enacted. (Senate Bill 370 (H-4), as passed by the House, would amend the handgun licensure Act to require an individual licensed to carry a concealed weapon who purchased or otherwise acquired a pistol, to forward two copies of the sales record to the police department of the city, village, or township, or to the sheriff of the county, in which the purchaser resided within 10 days following the purchase or accquisition;

and require the police department or sheriff to forward a copy to the State Police within 48 hours after receiving the copies. The bill also would exempt a State court judge or a retired State court judge from provisions under which concealed pistols may not be carried on certain premises (no-carry zones). In addition, the bill would include certain motor carrier officers and security personnel employed by the State as peace officers, in provisions requiring individuals to have their license to carry with them when carrying a concealed

pistol, to show their license to a peace officer upon request, and to disclose that they are carrying a concealed pistol when stopped by a peace officer; and authorizing peace officers to seize pistols carried in violation of these requirements.)

MCL 28.422 et al. (H.B. 4490) Legislative Analyst: Craig Laurie

750.224b & 750.231a (S.B. 4491)

FISCAL IMPACT

House Bill 4490 (S-2) would result in minor fiscal savings for local and State law

enforcement agencies by reducing administrative duties concerning heinspection of firearms and associated record-keeping, in an amount that cannot be determined.

House Bill 4491 (S-1) would have an indeterminate fiscal impact on local government. There are no data to indicate how many offenders will be convicted of failing to have a pistol inspected as currently required, absent the bill. To the extent that the bill would result in decreased convictions, local governments would incur decreased costs of incarceration in local facilities, which vary by county. Public libraries would receive less penal fine revenue.

Date Completed: 6-27-08 Fiscal Analyst: Bruce Baker

in the propsed bill 4490, it also states that ONLY US CITIZENS would be legally able to purchase firearms!!!! This is contrary to the current law which allows Permanent Residents (Green card holders) to also purchase firearms and obtain a MI CPL... this new bill would make it illegal for me to own ANY FIREARMS and/or maintain my MI CPL!!!!!

In essence, as a permanent resident my "human rights" would be trampled upon and I would, by law, not be able to defend my family (wife and both kids = 100 % born and raised american!!!) w/ a firearm!!!! :cuss: This is a bunch of *BUNK*!!!! :X


IF I am reading and/or understanding this wrong, PLEASE let me know!!! Else, the "Mole's" office is going to be getting a call from me in the morning!
