Lansing lawmakers consider ghost gun, bump stock bans under backlash from 2A advocates
Rick Ector of Detroit’s Legally Armed group is unsure if the solution lies in new rules that affect ordinary people rather than criminals.
Lawmakers are considering a number of gun control proposals, with a focus on bump stocks and ghost guns, according to FOX 2.
Rick Ector of Detroit’s Legally Armed group is unsure if the solution lies in new rules that affect ordinary people rather than criminals.
“Putting more gun laws to restrict and impair the rights of ordinary law-abiding citizens who ve done nothing wrong, if it s a non-solution – it doesn t solve anything,” he stated.
The Church of the Messiah Detroit’s pastor, Barry Randolph, is in disagreement.
“We re not talking about taking away people s right to bear arms,” he stated. “We re just talking about taking away people s right to commit murder.”
The legislation are on their way to the House after passing the Michigan Senate. Senate Bill 492 would outlaw bump stocks, which were outlawed in the wake of the 2018 Las Vegas mass shooting, but the US Supreme Court reversed that decision.
Another set of proposals would outlaw the kind of firearm that Luigi Mangione Allegeldy used to shoot and kill Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare, using a 3D-printed, home-made device.
“A handful of us met with our legislators while we were in Lansing. Randolph stated, “We visited with our senators and requested that these legislation be passed. “And I m so happy so far.”
Randolph advocated for safety. Every year, he hosts Silence the Violence to promote awareness of safety and peace.
Ector, a firearms trainer certified by the NRA, instructs individuals on gun safety in the meanwhile. He claims that the American right to bear arms is being violated by these bills.
“If someone wants to do something and it s legal, then by and large, they should have that opportunity to do that,” he stated. “The fact that a bad person would take a specific item and use it inappropriately and criminally to harm other people is not a justified reason to keep law-abiding citizens from having the ability to do so.”
