    To Discourage Firearm Ownership = Red Tape + Firearms Registration

    Note: on 8/19/2024 I asked MCRGO Counsel if Private to Private sales are required to keep Long Gun Sales Records for a specified amount of time:
    Q: I am having trouble understanding if there is a record keeping requirement for the new gun law requiring a background check to purchase a long gun by a private party from a private party. I cannot find on the RI-060 that a long gun transfer has to be sent to the local police, or a requirement for record keeping by the private seller
    Is there any such requirement?
    A: There is no reporting or record keeping requirement for private party long gun transfers. The RI-60 in such transfers exists for the seller's future ability to show that the firearm was sold to a legal buyer. It's only for the seller's peace of mind at present. However, we likely could see mandatory reporting of long gun transfers in the future if the current political direction of the state continues.

    Owning a Gun May Become Much More Expensive

    With the federal courts offering lukewarm protection to the Second Amendment, anti-gun politicians are attempting an end run around legal gun control obstacles through taxes.

    Michigan State Representative Cynthia Johnson (D-Detroit) has proposed a 10% excise tax on ammunition, already selling at inflated rates due to scarcity. We can anticipate more firearms related excise tax proposals in the 2021-2022 Michigan Legislative Session.

    Firearms dealer licensing and manufacturing fees are increasingly being proposed in many states. And Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has called for a $200 federal registration fee for popular semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15 as well as a $200 federal tax stamp for every magazine that could hold more than 10 rounds.

    In a September 9, 2020 article, Ammoland reports: "In 1819, Chief Justice John Marshall of the U.S. Supreme Court famously wrote: 'the power to tax involves the power to destroy ….' This truism has not been lost on firearm prohibitionists, who when unable to ban guns outright have often tried to tax them out of reach of the average citizen."

    The result of such taxes would make legal self-defense, particularly concealed carry, even more unaffordable to many middle class and economically disadvantaged people.
    History has taught us this will lead to a proliferation in blackmarket sales and corresponding increase in crime.

    Elections Have Consequences

    People often say, with pride, 'I'm not interested in politics.' They might as well say, 'I'm not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future.' ... If we mean to keep any control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics.
    ~ Martha Gellhorn 20th Century War Correspondent

    Rebellion Against Tyrants is Obedience to God

    Our Founding Father Benjamin Franklin penned these words;
    “Rebellion Against Tyrants is Obedience to God”

    The phrase “Rebellion Against Tyrants is Obedience to God” is a potent proclamation that embodies the principles of liberty and freedom, especially within a Christian context. It implies that the quest for freedom, even if it necessitates rebellion against oppressive regimes, is not merely a human endeavor, but a divine directive. This compelling assertion emphasizes the notion that tyranny is in direct contradiction with God’s will, and thus, resistance against such oppression is an act of obedience to God. It serves as a moral beacon, guiding individuals and societies towards the path of justice and liberty. In a Christian nation, this sentiment deeply resonates as it aligns with Christian teachings that champion freedom, dignity, and respect for all individuals. Therefore, this phrase is not just a rallying cry against tyranny, but also a profound theological affirmation that underscores the sanctity of freedom and the divine obligation to preserve it.
