Great Lakes Gun Rights

Michigan should not criminalize law-abiding gun owners for failing to comply with a federal system that is on the verge of being thrown to the trash bin of history.

Not only that, according to the Second Amendment these items should have never been regulated in the first place.

Federal law on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns has changed. Michigan law has not. That is a problem — and it could put law-abiding gun owners in real legal danger. On January 1st, 2026, the federal government eliminated the $200 National Fi****ms Act tax on suppress...

No one should have to beg for government permission and pay a coat tax to carry a concealed pistol.

The "Money Out of Politics" measure that was passed by the Michigan House yesterday (and that is likely going to be on the ballot this Fall) is a full frontal assault on the First Amendment.

You can have your frustrations with the monopoly utilities and others who are on the government dole, but this abomination goes WAY farther than its advocates are advertising and will make it more difficult and expensive for grassroots organizations like GLGR to hold anti-gun politicians accountable.

Oh, and the corrupt union bosses are exempt from it, so there's that too.

There was a better way to do this that protected the First Amendment rights of Michiganders, while also making sure government-protected monopolies and government contractors aren't abusing the electoral process.

Never let a crisis go to waste is the motto of the Democrat Party and the gun ban lobby.

Before all the facts could come out about the shooting in Northern Michigan, Democrat candidate for Governor Jocelyn immediately called for more gun control and stricter enforcement of Whitmer's "Red Flag" gun confiscation scheme.

These people are vultures who use the victims of crime to prop up their radical and failed agenda.

If Democrats take back control of Lansing this fall, the 2023 gun control binge will look like a cake walk by comparison.

Gun bans, gun grabs and disarming as many Michiganders as possible is their end game. Look no further than Colorado and Michigan for what they are planning.

Stressful few hours ahead:

The November elections will determine whether Michigan continues down the path of more gun control or begins restoring the rights of law-abiding citizens.

The results are in. Congressman John James won the Republican primary for Governor last night. Thanks to the persistent encouragement of our members, James returned his Great Lakes Gun Rights Candidate Survey 100% pro-gun. He has pledged to: ● Support Constitutional Carry ● Oppose “Red Flag”...
