Michigan House Bill 4457 is a strong bill in support of the right to keep and bear arms.  It needs your help to move forward!

HB4457 would nullify a large number of unconstitutional federal gun laws. It reads, in part:  “A public servant or dealer that sells a firearm in this state shall not enforce or attempt to enforce any act, law, statute, rule, or regulation of the United States government relating to a personal firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition that is owned or manufactured exclusively within the borders of this state.”

The short version?  If you own it and keep it in Michigan, federal “laws” don’t apply and the state of Michigan will not enforce them.  As Judge Andrew Napolitano has said recently, such widespread noncompliance can make a federal law “nearly impossible to enforce” (video here)

The bill has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee and is waiting to be scheduled for a hearing.   Please take the actions below to help move HB4457 towards passage!
