Michigan’s task force recommends banning semi-automatic guns, raising purchase age to 21, and other measures to reduce gun deaths, despite partisan opposition.
Michigan’s gun violence prevention task force has recommended banning semi-automatic firearms, raising the purchase age to 21, imposing waiting periods, banning large-capacity magazines, regulating ghost guns, requiring dealer licensing, holding manufacturers accountable, and allowing surrender of illegal firearms under protection orders without liability.
The proposals, part of 39 recommendations, aim to reduce gun deaths, especially suicides, and improve public health outcomes.
While violent crime in Michigan, including Detroit, has declined significantly, with homicides at a 60-year low, the task force urges urgent action.
The plan faces legislative challenges due to partisan divisions, with Republicans opposing key measures like ghost gun bans.
Critics argue the proposals could unfairly target law-abiding gun owners and lack balanced input.
