If I'm not mistaken, that is the actual Gods honest law, with no input from the AG. Michigan law is stricter in terms of NFA firearms than Federal law. Whatever laws the other states pass are entirely up to them. Why do you think Nevada is known for legalized gambling a prostitution? So, there, the AG is out of the way. Now, is the UZI carbine, the one with the stock, an SBR, or not? It has a stock, whether removable, or collabsible, it's OAL is less than 26 therefore by definition, in the MI penal code, it is an SBR. Now, did the guy who took his UZI to the police take the stock? I ask this because a pistol is defined as being less than 30 inches. What version of the UZI did he have? There is a pistol version. All the AG did, is what I just did. He looked at the law, and put two and two together, came up with four, and passed it on to his people. You could ask the sitting AG for an opinion. Uzi's should be on the C&R list, if not now, in the near future.
