This is a priority of the NRA, not citizens. This is obvious manipulation of the law by the Michigan governor. This demand by the governor has nothing to do with public safety or jobs, it is purely another attempt by the NRA to conduct weapons anarchy. The NRA has to point to it's influence in government to maintain and promote it's members and their contributions. Snyder should be investigated to the contributions by the NRA and others that influence the laws of Michigan. It is corruption.

...Snyder, (click here) in a veto letter to lawmakers, noted that the original air gun package had included three other House bills that did not reach his desk. As a result, he said he was left to consider an incomplete package.
“Because only part of the pneumatic gun reform package has been enrolled and presented to me for signature, the enactment of these bills would result in a variety of contracting definitions of ‘firearm’ across our statutes,” he wrote.
The legislation would have changed the definition of firearm in the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act but not Michigan firearms laws, the governor continued.
“In short, the enactment of these four senate bills would result in a situation that would be extremely confusing for both law enforcement and gun owners.”
The National Rifle Association had supported the full package in committee, testifying that Michigan is one of just four states that classifies most air guns as firearms, making them more difficult to purchase or move between states.
