Gun Rights Groups Sue Michigan Over Pistol Purchase Permits and Registration System
LANSING, Mich. – A coalition of gun-rights organizations and Michigan gun owners has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit seeking to dismantle Michigan’s pistol purchase permit and registration system, arguing the state is forcing citizens to jump through government hoops that federal law already covers.
The lawsuit, Moser et al. v. Nessel et al., was filed Sunday, June 14, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan against Attorney General Dana Nessel, Michigan State Police Director Colonel James Grady II, and several local law enforcement agencies.
At the center of the challenge is Michigan’s License to Purchase (LTP) requirement, which generally requires residents without a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) to obtain approval from local law enforcement before buying a handgun. Click here to read more.

Democrat Congressional Candidate Christina Bohannan Silent on Making It Easier for Sex Offenders to Remove Name from List
Democrat congressional candidate Christina Bohannan is refusing to explain her controversial vote in the Iowa House, making it easier for sexual predators to get off the sex offender list.
When asked to explain her vote, Bohannan – running in the Hawkeye State’s 1st Congressional District – ignored the question, refusing to answer.
While Iowa has sex offenders facing restrictions, such as limitations on being near child-centric establishments such as daycares or school, Bohannan voted to make it easier for offenders to seek removal from the registry. This is not the first time she has refused to explain that vote, either.
