WHEREAS:
Studies show that high rates of civilian gun ownership result in less overall violent crime; and
WHEREAS:
Draconian restrictions on purchasing a firearm, such as the Permit to Purchase system, only create roadblocks for law-abiding citizens that criminals will continue to ignore; and
WHEREAS:
The Permit to Purchase system also implements de facto gun registration scheme by keeping a record of all pistol purchases, endangering citizens’ rights and privacy;
THEREFORE:
I urge you do everything in your power to repeal Michigan’s draconian universal Permit to Purchase and de facto pistol registration scheme. Great Lakes Gun Rights will keep me informed of your actions and vote.
