Michigan Democrats are pushing a new bill in the state legislature that would make illegal the “manufacturing, possession, purchase and sale” of certain semiautomatic rifles.

These restrictions will be enforced in the state of Michigan if House Bill No. 6544, recently introduced by a Democrat, State Rep. Jeffrey Peppers, passes.
