Michigan Senator Introduces Senate Bill 942 to Ban Bump Stocks
News summary

Michigan State Senator Dayna Polehanki has introduced Senate Bill 942, which proposes a statewide ban on the manufacture, sale, and possession of bump stocks, following the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn a federal ban on the devices. Bump stocks, which enable semiautomatic rifles to fire at a rate similar to machine guns, were banned by the Trump administration after their use in the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting. Polehanki argues that the ban is a public safety measure, noting that 15 states and Washington, D.C. already have similar bans. The bill has garnered support from Senate Democrats but faces opposition from some Republicans and gun rights advocates, who argue it won't prevent criminals from obtaining guns. The bill is currently being reviewed by the Senate Committee on Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety.
