I properly store guns......wherever I want. And, my kids know they are tools.

Encouraging children to narc on their parents or the parents of other children is not good. And what is the "violation"? I don't know if Michigan has some law regarding locking up weapons.

https://www.nraila.org/articles/202...ll-funding-tipline-to-turn-in-gun-owners

Today, Governor Whitmer signed House Bill 5503, creating a "tipline" to turn in gun owners for perceived violations of Michigan's firearm storage laws. HB 5503 is an omnibus education funding bill that was amended to include the "tipline" language and swiftly passed through the legislature within hours. The expedited pace and the silencing of opposition when the bill came up for a floor vote underscores the reality that this was a political move and another attack on gun owners.

House Bill 5503 allocates up to $1,000,000 to establish a tipline for students to anonymously report improperly stored firearms. The money is allocated for the 2024-2025 school year and will be made accessible to intermediate school districts. The bill also funds the creation and distribution of educational materials to students outlining the safe storage of firearms and how to report violations.

This "tipline" could result in unwarranted interactions with law enforcement and unfettered searches of homes, business, and other places where firearms could be stored.

sounds like unlawful search to me. I store thing how I see fit. we are not Canada after all.

We, at least most of the people I run with, are not proud of the way our powers-that-be are using their time.

wow

But it's for the children.

I spent my childhood in a house full of guns. Including one leaning up by the back door for chicken killers. I survived. Might have been my dad drilling gun safety into my head as far back as I can remember. Might have been seeing a 22 drop a 1200 pound steer in his tracks at butcher time. Might have been cause I grew up knowing what death is rather than shielded from it. Or Kamala is right and I just got lucky surviving irresponsible parents grandparents and great grandparents.

Grampas chicken protector then dads now mine. Still hits where you aim it.

This evil witch.

Mocking the eucharist.

Not far off. They are prosecuting parents for murder if their kid takes a gun out of the house and kills somebody. He77, half the people here agree with that thought process. This is not surprising to me at all.

I don't agree on the gun part. I do agree on turning out monsters.

IMO, juvenile commits heinous crimes and it can be proven parental indifference then toss the parents in jail.

In my way of thinking ALL children should be required to take firearms safety whether or not they are sportsmen.

To much of a slippery slope warrior moving goal post and vaguely writing laws open to interpretation and that interpretation changes depend on who is in charge. Just look at the NFA things recently for an example. Years of bump stocks and pistol braces were ok they they were not now they are again.

Hopefully, their tipline gets 1000 calls a day, with " tips" about whoever introduced and voted for the bill....

We could repeal 90% of the laws in this country and be fine. Murder assault theft. What else is there?

That's the problem with the politization of the criminal justice system.

As Danny said we need to pare back the list of offenses. What's the difference between crime and hate crime?

Should be simple to understand not a long algorithm of an IF/THEN statement.

Who knows it might make folks better parents.

Lawyers don't make any money on cut and dried cases.

Danny's right Any new gun laws are aimed at lawabiding citizens As our Mich Ag said in reference to the MSU shooter who had multiple shoplifting offences and caught with an unregistered handgun recieved 5 years probation and shot up the college "If we enforced the gun laws to there fullest extent we'd have to build more prisons" that statement was on 9 and 10 news as she explained why he wasn't spending time in jail for unlawful carrying of a weapon

Nothing that can’t be broke into if you want it bad enough if you have kids proper steps should be taken to protect them the government should stay out of the final decision.

Surprised Stretchin’ Gretchen found time to pass any laws when she’s so busy fixin’ the da** roads

I have addressed this subject previously. It isn't about protecting anyone. It is about making a gun impossible to use in your own defense even in your own home. If a gun is impossible to use for defense, there is no longer a justification for having a gun for defense. Just another step in the process of destroying the 2A.
