Videos tagged with Michigan Senate Bill 1134

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.

Michigan Senate Bill 1134 proposes banning 'deceptively colored firearms,' defined as those with a substantial exterior surface in colors other than black, brown, dark gray, dark green, silver, steel, or nickel. The bill also targets 'covert firearms' and 'deceptive coloring products.' Violations are classified as misdemeanors, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $500 fine. Existing ownership of such firearms on the bill's effective date is grandfathered in, with specific provisions for acquiring them post-enactment.

This video discusses Michigan Senate Bill 1134, which proposes banning firearms with 'deceptively colored' exteriors, defined as any color other than black, brown, dark gray, green, silver, steel, or nickel, if it constitutes more than 50% of the firearm's surface. Violators could face up to one year in prison and a $500 fine. The bill includes provisions for modifying or surrendering non-compliant firearms and exempts certain individuals and antique firearms.
