Trump is a real estate guy with bad hair. A firearm either meets a given definition or it doesn't. That's why that Serbu gun is either an AOW or an SBS, but not both: because it can only meet one of those two definitions, depending on its configuration. In the same way a machine gun does not meet the definition of a rifle (or an SBR), and a rifle does not meet the definition of a machine gun. The terms are mutually exclusive. And yes, it is possible for a firearm to meet multiple definitions, and be regulated under both. For example, there are some large machine guns that are also DDs, and the regulations for both classes apply. |

Just so we all know, the six House No votes were:
Banks: D- Harper Woods Rutledge: D- Superior Township Stanley: D- Flint Talabi: D- Detroit Hovey-Wright: D- Muskegon Stallworth: D- Detroit I doubt there's much that can be done about most of them, but you guys on the west side need to do something to replace Hovey-Wright. |

I predict a very looooooong backlog from NFA.
Welcome to SBR/SBSs guys!!! I'm proud of the hard work you guys did!!! |

Snyder Opinion Page Gov Snyder's Contact People I'm pretty positive I could guess which Senators voted nay. I hate those 2, they vote nay on any firearm bill. The governor now has 3 options: 1. Sign the bill and make it law. 2. Veto the bill and send it back with his objections. 3. Don't take any action and the bill becomes law 14 days after it reaches his desk. This works this way only because the legislature hasn't, and won't adjourn sine die (adjourn without setting a specific return date) prior to those 14 days passing, assuming the bill reaches his desk this week. If the legislature had adjourned sine die, the governor could not take action and it would become a pocket veto. ETA: Damn iPhone autocorrect! |

The two Senate Nay votes were:
Johnson - D (Detroit/Wayne Co) Warren- D (Ann Arbor Area) TOOLS! The fact that the other 10 Dems voted yes is surprising. Maybe the recalls in Colorado and other states have sent a message. Or, the Dem Party in Michigan is scared of taking another beating and started using some common sense. Nay, can't be common sense. Were talking about legislators. What was I thinking. |

Now this is some exciting stuff! Can't wait to get my first lower engraved.

Does it mean that I can buy AK47 underfolder or Arsenal sidefolder?
Does Kelly's opinion still stands regarding these firearms? If I must weld muzzle device to the barrel to make the 26" with stock collapsed, then fuck this stupid bill and I hope Snyder kills it. |

There no state law that says you have to weld your muzzle break that's the opinion of the state police , which as far as I know don't make laws but I'm a dumb truck driver not a lawyer , I have folders that are just fine under current law . So just because you can't for some reason benefit from regaining our 2nd amend freedoms we should all lose them that's the dumbest shit I've heard on Arfcom in awhile and that's sayin something

OK, assuming Richard257's off the wall editorial doesn't come true and the Gov signs it, if I have an NFA trust, which it hope to soon, do I need to have my Sig P556 engraved before sending in the form4 or can I do it when I get the stamp? I assume waiting is a good idea 'cause who knows what the BATF may do before I get the stamp.
Related question, how do I add my cans to the Trust once I get it? I think I need to fill out a Form4 for each of them and send a $200 check for each of them with a copy of my Trust, right? |

You should probably find a different hobby and leave guns to adults. What is the quote about remaining silent and letting people think you a fool...? Never mind. Rich257 asks a valid question. MI and Fed law read the same, in that the definition of an SBR includes a "weapon made from a rifle, whether by alteration, modification, or otherwise, if the weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches." That section applies, even if the barrel is longer than 16". MI AG Kelly wrote an opinion that the act of folding a stock open or closed constituted a "modification" of a firearm - therefore he argued the 26" rule applies, even if the firearm was originally made at the factory with a folded length less than 26". It's a bogus ruling. It's like saying you "modified" your car by opening and closing the door. But that's what is currently out there. The original Senate bill basically stated that SBR/SBSs (under the state definition) would be legal as long as they "LAWFULLY MADE, MANUFACTURED, TRANSFERRED, OR POSSESSED UNDER FEDERAL LAW". (not me yelling - that's how it's written in the bill). The feds measure a rifle / shotgun in the longest configuration. That means if you have a folder that is 31" extended and 25" folded, the feds consider it to be a 31" Title 1 rifle, but MI considers it a 25" SBR. But since the feds consider it legal, the original SB610 said that gun would be legal. MI would still consider it an SBR, but since it would be legal even with no NFA paperwork, it would automatically been legal here. With the H1 version of the bill, a requirement was added that the gun be registered as a pistol, or the federal registration be carried with the gun. So, logic would interpret this to mean a 16" barreled rifle with a folded length of less than 26" should be legal. It is not a federal SBR, but it is a MI SBR. So to be legal under MI law, you would have to comply with Sec. 2 or 2A of 1927 PA 372. That is just saying you have to register the firearm as a pistol (unless you are otherwise exempt). The trick comes in when we try to find out if the state would let a person register a non-NFA, "MI-SBR" or not. |

didn't they get rid of the the whole register a rifle as a pistol so you couldnt carry it via ccw?
and that is the next thing we need to change the whole measuring it folded bs! and we need to get switchblades legalize there was a bill but they buried it somewhere here it is http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(l4o2od55izhilx45yd5jns45))/mileg.aspx?page=getobject&objectname=2012-HB-5544 |

Assuming Snyder signs it, I've read that the ATF will drag their feet recognizing Michigan as an SBR/SBS State. This Federal "recognition" process may take several more months before the ATF is ready for us to send in our forms.
Is there any truth to this? |

This Federal "recognition" process may take several more months before the ATF is ready for us to send in our forms. Is there any truth to this? No When the law changed to allow silencers in Missouri, I filed a 5320.20 immediately. It took over 6 months to be approved. Silencers don't require permission to cross state lines. But ATF will approve if you submit them, and it's always nice to have another piece of documentation showing the legitimacy of my stuff. So I brought my stuff in state anyway. And it seems like the initial Form 4 submissions took a month or two longer than was standard at that time. People that called were told ATF was "running it by their lawyers". But I would consider that a fair indication of what ATF might do this time around. I can't say one way or the other what they will actually do this time around. I'm not trying to be a downer. You have to learn to be patient in this game anyway. sorry. The only thing that seems to be consistent about ATF is their inconsistency. |

Be wise for the Governor to sign it if he wants to have support of Second Amendment advocates.
His push for right to work and veto of the CPL expansion has hurt him with so called blue dog Democrats, which he needs to win a state like Michigan. |

Its time to put pressure on the Nerd about this! Call and email him to let him know that "we the people don't want our rights infringed upon any longer".

Don't be surprised if he does not sign nor veto it and just lets it become law on the 7th (once filed with Sec of State). He's no fan of gun laws but knows he needs support from gun owners.

Well, my bet is he will sign it. The passage margins are so large as to necessitate that result. The last three bills he signed on the 20th were on his desk only 2-3 days. Hopefully he will sign by the end of the week.

At least in the case of AR's... Paying a tax stamp for an SBR seems a bit silly, with the advent of the Sig arm brace. Though I doubt Snyder will sign, to each their own, and if paying tax stamps for short barrels is what makes you happy, GO FOR IT

I figure as soon as I can legally SBR the Sig, the brace is sold. I'll probably get enough to pay most of the $200 Tax, so it's worth it to me. |
