LANSING, MI (WTVB) – The state House has approved 58th District Republican State Representative Andrew Fink’s legislation which he says prevents a Michigan governor from issuing any directive that prohibits, regulates, or curtails lawful possession, carrying, display, sale, transport, or other lawful use of firearms and ammunition.
Fink says 43 states kept the firearm industries open during the COVID-19 pandemic but Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer used pandemic-related emergency powers to shut down the firearm industry, which many argue was a means to accomplish her goal of gun control.
According to a statement from Fink’s office, the bill would also prevent a governor of Michigan from issuing any directive requiring the registration of firearms and ammunition, along with their components and accessories, and prevent the seizure of those items during a declared emergency.
The legislation now moves to the Senate for further consideration.
