A spokesman for the Gun Owners of America explains why people need to speak up before the end of the year.
Michigan Democrats are stopping at nothing to get four anti-gun bills pushed through the latest legislative session.
Though pro-gun Republicans were able to retake the Michigan House of Representatives in this year’s election, that isn’t stopping opposing anti-gun Democrats from trying to spoil the party with a number of troublesome bills.
HB 4127 and HB 4128 are already on the way to becoming amended, and are as follows:
- Prohibit law-abiding Michiganders from possessing firearms at polling places.
- Expand dangerous “gun free” zones leaving you unprotected from criminals who would seek to harm you while you exercise your right to vote.
On top of that, two other bills, HB 5450 and HB 5451, are on their way to the Senate, requiring schools to indoctrinate parents with misleading and false information about Michigan’s unconstitutional safe storage laws.
With that, the Gun Owners of America, working alongside others, are calling for citizens to speak up for their Second Amendment rights. “Together, we can save Michigan and restore our right to keep and bear arms,” the group noted in a statement.
A spokesman for the GOA joins us now to discuss the matter further.
Sam Parades is available to speak on this subject, serving as Executive Director of the Gun Owners of America.
Stephen Willeford, the 2017 “hero with a gun” who serves as the spokesman for the Gun Owners of America, is also available.
Q&A:
- How are Michigan Democrats able to push these anti-gun bills, even though Republicans have taken control of the House of Representatives?
- Why do you think Democrats are so hellbent in getting these bills passed into law?
- Is there anything that Republicans can do to stop it, since they have a majority of the House?
- What can citizens do to speak their minds in this matter?
- Is it possible that lawsuits could stem from such passed laws, with the support of the Second Amendment of the Constitution?
- FOR STEPHEN: You recently wrote a book called A Town Called Sutherland Springs: Faith and Heroism Through Tragedy, revolving around your 2017 “hero with a gun” situation. Tell us more about how this came together, and why it’s such an important read right now.
- FOR STEPHEN: Where can people find your book?
- Where can we learn more about you, as well as Gun Owners of America?
