I am F*CK*NG PISSED. Michigan Gun Laws Written by the Mob?!?!?

88. There are a lot of reforms that can be made.

And we should give the ATF a leader finally after 6 years.

The big thing to remember is that laws should be fair. A gun owner who has complied with all laws to date should not be punished with very intrusive measures. For instance, releasing names and addresses of gun owners seems to fit the agenda of using shame or inflicting fear on them of break ins while not home to cause people to give up their guns. A law like that is just going to galvanize resistance from people who would otherwise stand behind increased checks and restrictions on mag/clip sizes.

Most states require you to secure a weapon properly, so that people who are not allowed to possess one cannot get to it. If a child gets hold of my gun and gets hurt, it's a felony here. I lock mine in safes. What I would not agree to is being forced to open my home to police without probably cause of a crime. The foster parent example is very different in that it's a privilege granted by the state and you agree to willingly submit yourself to inspection to get approved. Like it or not, the SCOTUS has ruled otherwise on handgun ownership. The laws will be enforced as they usually are, after the fact. It's illegal to murder someone, but only enforceable after the fact. A dept of Pre-crime was a nice plot line in a blockbuster film, but it isn't the way American law works in reality.
