Democrats control both chambers of the Michigan state legislature. With this power and Whitmer’s signature, they have successfully pushed through numerous bills aimed at curtailing Second Amendment rights.

For instance, SB 83, ratified by Whitmer in May, allows family members, quacks, cops, roommates, and others to petition to void another citizen’s Second Amendment rights if they can halfway persuade a judge it might prevent the targeted citizen from doing future harm either to themselves or to others.

In the face of the leftist power trifecta’s gun control efforts, constitutionalist officials across the state have signaled their opposition with largely symbolic local ordinances and resolutions.
