One thing that may be counted on as surely as the sunrise is that an outgoing political party will do everything in its power to ram through last-minute laws and expenditures of taxpayer dollars before they are put out to pasture.

That’s precisely what is happening in Michigan.

The November election swung control of the House of Representatives to Republicans, denying Democrats further control of both legislative chambers and the governor’s mansion starting next month.

This power shift left outgoing House members and their political partners scrambling to push through as much 11th-hour gun control as possible before checks and balances are restored. 

The lame-duck session is moving forward at full speed, and several measures are being hurriedly advanced. Senate Bills 1149 and 1150 seek to eradicate the tradition of home gun-making by imposing new restrictions on parts and materials.

Despite the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the contentious ban on bump stocks earlier this year, Michigan lawmakers want to enshrine the prohibition for their law-abiding citizens with Senate Bill 942.

Senate Bill 1086 would create a “Do Not Sell” list that would eradicate an individual’s Second Amendment right to engage in weapons transactions. Individuals could voluntarily join the list, but removal from them in states with similar laws proves extremely complex.

A trio of House bills are designed to circumvent 2005’s Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), the federal law that protects the gun industry from frivolous lawsuits bent on its destruction. The liability shield for gun manufacturers would be removed, exposing these Second Amendment-protected businesses to legal actions supported by taxpayer dollars intended only to drive them into the ground.

Gun retailers would also be forced to provide a trigger lock or secure storage capability when selling a weapon.

Another pair of House bills would require that anyone who attempted to purchase a weapon while prohibited from doing so be reported to authorities. Failure to comply would be a felony.

Two Senate bills would greatly expand Michigan’s “gun-free” zones to include multiple government buildings. The prohibition, which seeks to codify rules recently implemented by the Capitol Commission, would exclude legislators.

Schools would be forced to warn every student about the state’s safe storage laws.

And somehow, legislators about to lose their monopoly on power came up with an even more ridiculous scheme.

Among the mad dash to enact extreme gun control is a foolhardy measure, Senate Bill No. 1134, that would ban what lawmakers describe as “deceptively colored” firearms.

What does this even mean?

For supporters, it is the presumably serious business of prohibiting firearms emblazoned with the Stars and Stripes, pink pistols, and other creative expressions. Artistic designs on weapons would also be banned.

Interestingly, the blanket prohibition would expand far beyond the affected firearms. Legislators seek to prohibit “deceptive coloring [on] products.” 

In other words, accessories featuring unique hues and designs, such as stocks or barrels, would also be banned in Michigan. But for what purpose?

Where is the harm in having a legally obtained firearm decorated in the logos and coloring of one’s favorite college team? Does having the American flag on a firearm suddenly transform it into a more deadly weapon capable of mass destruction?

Many female shooters enjoy having their guns personalized with different colors.

Hunters and other sportsmen are partial to camouflage patterns on clothing and accessories, as much for style as any practical purpose. In what universe does this pose a threat to anyone?

Proponents of the bill, bless their hearts, carved out an exception for old-fashioned ivory-handled firearms. Could it be more evident that these misguided legislators simply want to strip the joy of gun ownership away from those who prefer to express their individuality?
