SB224 prohibits the manufacture, sale, transfer, or possession of bump stocks and multiburst trigger activators—devices that allow a semiautomatic firearm to fire more rapidly, similar to an automatic weapon. Violating the law could result in felony penalties, including possible prison time and fines.
The Michigan State Senate passed SB224 on June 25, 2025 by a vote of 22 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill mirrors and reinforces an unconstitutional federal gun-control law, undermining state sovereignty. Furthermore, by criminalizing firearm components at the state level, SB224 infringes on the Second Amendment, which clearly states that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." This legislation empowers the state to further erode God-given rights under the guise of public safety.
