Michigan Democrats are pushing Senate Bill 1134, which aims to ban firearms not colored black, brown, dark gray, dark green, silver, steel, or nickel. This bill, if passed, would criminalize the sale, transfer, manufacture, modification, and possession of firearms with 'deceptively colored' finishes like cow print, camo, or neon pink, classifying violations as misdemeanors. The bill includes exceptions for law enforcement and a grandfather clause for existing firearms, but its broad definition of 'covert firearms' and the potential for it to be challenged on constitutional grounds are significant points of discussion.
This video details Massachusetts House Bill 4885, a significant gun control package signed into law.

The legislation also introduces new permitting processes with enhanced training requirements, creating a complex and challenging environment for firearm ownership in the state.
