MI: Red Flag Bill Moving in the Senate

Michiganders, the Senate will have a hearing on SB 111 today.

Senate Bill 111 establishes a so-called “elder and vulnerable adult personal protection order.” This bill disguises itself as a well-intentioned protection for elderly individuals or vulnerable adults, but in reality, this insidious bill circumvents due process and strips away Second Amendment rights.

In simple terms this is a Red Flag law, and we know they are a dangerous infringement on due process and the Second Amendment, allowing the government to strip individuals of their firearms based on unverified accusations rather than concrete evidence or a criminal conviction.

These laws empower courts to confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens without a fair trial, often based on vague claims of potential danger rather than actual wrongdoing. This sets a precedent where constitutional rights can be revoked without proper due process.

The sponsor of this bill is Veronica Klinefelt and her co-sponsors are:

  • Sarah Anthony (D) (District 21)
  • Jeff Irwin (D) (District 15)
  • Kevin Hertel (D) (District 12)
  • Rosemary Bayer (D) (District 13)
  • Sue Shink (D) (District 14)
  • Mary Cavanagh (D) (District 6)

These are traitors to the Constitution, and they must be held accountable.

So I need you to take charge today click here to TAKE ACTION and use the Legislator Lookup on GOA’s website to call your senator and let them know SB 111 is unconstitutional and we will not stand for it.
