Gun rights groups say they’re not deterred their lawsuit to try to block enforcement of Michigan’s new firearms restrictions. On Tuesday, a Court of Claims judge denied a request for a temporary restraining order. The lawsuit claims the laws were adopted without allowing opponents a full opportunity to weigh in at legislative committee hearings. Tom Lambert is with Michigan Open Carry.
Lambert had this to say when talking on the topic, “This isn’t done by far. It’s just an emergency ask for relief was denied. That’s all. The case just moves forward as it normally would.”
The new laws require people to secure guns so they can’t be accessed by unsupervised minors. The laws require universal background checks to buy guns. Authorities can also temporarily seize guns from someone if a court deems them a threat. Lambert says gun rights groups haven’t ruled out taking the case to the Michigan Court of Appeals.
