Anti-Gun Legislation

http://www.popvox.com/bills/us/113/x101

I understand you're seeing a flood of support for the "Common Sense Legislation to End Gun Violence" bill from a very specific niche of the political spectrum.  Please stand strong in your opposition toward this bill.  I've been a firearm owner for many years and I use my firearms for sport, recreation, hunting and other activities.  At no point in time have my firearms been used in a violent manner, and it is unacceptable that my second amendment rights would be curtailed because of a single psychotic individual with whom I have no relation.

Thank you for your time.

National CCW Reciprocity

http://www.popvox.com/bills/us/112/hr822

I have held a concealed weapons permit for eight years and I enjoy the freedom to choose when and where I can carry a firearm in my home state.  Fortunately, Michigan enjoys reciprocity with 39 other states, but eleven states either do not share reciprocity or have no CCW laws on the books.

Traveling to other states with a concealed firearm is always a painful process.  Even if the state does share reciprocity, their specific laws regarding disclosure, "pistol-free zones", and other matters can vary greatly.  By passing a successor to the national reciprocity act, we would enjoy reciprocity with every state that permits "shall issue" CCW laws and a singular list of non-permissible carry locations.  In addition to making the lives of CCW-holder easier, it would also eliminate unintentional infractions that can ruin the lives of CCW holder without improving anybody's safety or security.

Republican Gov. Rick Snyder will reportedly announce a state takeover of Detroit on Friday, according to a breaking report from ABC affiliate WXYZ.

“[Detroit Mayor Dave] Bing says the governor told him his decision during a phone conversation this morning,” the station reports.
