Dear Dennis,
I thought the email below was so important that I'm sending it out again to make sure you had a chance to read it.
Here are the facts: the politicians in Lansing are talking about "low hanging fruit", ie, MORE gun control that they think they can pass without any real push back from gun owners OR consequences at election time.
We NEED to show them that that's complete BS and there's NO piece of gun control that they can touch that we won't make sure they pay a political price for.
So please read the email below and sign your official petition telling your politicians in Lansing to STOP THE WAR ON GUN OWNERS!
When you're done, please chip in any amount you can afford, to help us FIGHT THESE TYRANTS and shut this agenda down in 2024.
-- Ben
Dear Dennis,
The 2024 legislative session is well underway in Lansing and Communist politicians are making a massive effort to pass the worst gun control bills that we’ve ever seen in Michigan!
They’re hoping to break the back of wonderful gun owners like you and me once and for all with the passage of 5.56 ammo bans, mental health gun control and a BAN on AR-15s and more.
That’s why I’ve linked a special petition that I hope you’ll read, sign and submit back to me right away -- reminding politicians in Lansing that gun owners are fighting back and that they’ll answer for their votes in the 2024 elections!
And if you are tempted to simply lay this letter aside, telling yourself that ‘It’s a lost cause’ or ‘Someone else will fight this battle instead of me’ you need to keep reading.
You see, capitol insiders report to us that there is a war going on inside the majority caucus in Lansing right now about how far to push their gun control agenda this year since it’s a major election year and nobody is sure what Nov will bring.
Out of control radicals are determined to pass NEW and WORSE gun control bills than last year, while their colleagues in vulnerable districts are growing more concerned by the day that pushing this gun control agenda two years in a row may hurt their reelection efforts this fall.
THEY SHOULD BE WORRIED!
After all, many politicians won their seats by a narrow margin last election, a margin that may disappear completely in certain seats this fall if they push their agenda too far.
If you are willing to stand and fight with us this session, please take a moment to sign and submit the petition that we’ve prepared for you, demanding that your legislators ‘STOP THE WAR ON GUN OWNERS!”
You see, if passed into law, these bills would utterly obliterate the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners in our state, a goal that the radical Left has been working towards for over a decade and took great strides toward last year.
Just some of what we’re facing this session includes:
A huge push for Mental Health gun control to destroy your right to own firearms simply because of who you are or what you believe;
Gretchen Whitmer wants the ability to snap her fingers and disarm her political opponents without having to convict us in court.
And if they pass this legislation, these bogus mental health tests are the tool they’ll use to do exactly that.
Because let’s face it: if you admit to loving our country, our flag, our Second Amendment, or our Founding Fathers, you’re not going to pass this ‘test.’ In fact, you’ll likely be labeled a domestic terrorist by the Whitmer/Biden Administrations.
“Nuclear Gun Control” bills that will end the Second Amendment in Michigan Forever;
This legislation is moving in states like Minnesota and is coming to Michigan SOON!
It would require mental health (like we mentioned above) AND physical health tests to own firearms, bans many firearms and calibers outright, requires liability insurance to carry a firearm, bans the open carry of many long rifles and MUCH MORE.
It’s an 18-point gun control NIGHTMARE like we’ve never seen before.
Frankly, if this bill passes, many gun owners will be faced with the brutal decision to give up on their Second Amendment rights entirely or move out of the state we love.
The crown jewel of gun control, legislation that would make you a felon for owning AR-15’s or similar firearms;
The AR-15 and firearms in general are America’s main bulwark against a complete, totalitarian tyranny state like we are all witnessing in China right now.
This is what Whitmer wants for us, too.
And this could just be the tip of the iceberg, as crazed politicians also want to ban all magazines that hold over ten rounds, force mental health background checks on all gun sales, and more!
That’s why it’s vital that you sign your “STOP THE WAR ON GUN OWNERS” petition and submit it right away!
And right here in Lansing, the legislature just kicked off and already legislative ‘leaders’ are discussing WHEN they want to pass gun control this session.
And since the 2024 legislative session is the “short” session because of elections, Communists in Lansing are hoping MFA members won’t have the time to ramp up the defense necessary to stop them!
That’s why Michigan Firearms Association is already rolling out our MASSIVE battle plans for 2024, and let me tell you, we are going to use every tool at our disposal to fight back against Governor Whitmer and her allies, including:
Rolling out 100,000 pieces of direct mail to gun owners in every corner of the state, to make sure that everyone who cares about the Second Amendment knows what’s going on.
The petitions that these emails will generate terrify lawmakers, as it reminds them that gun owners in their district don’t believe the fake news and that they will remember their votes during this year’s election process.
Unveiling a targeted social media program, going after specific politicians in specific districts in the legislature, who we believe are thinking about betraying gun owners.
Social media allows us to get our message into every house that matters in these districts, very quickly.
If possible, we need to be ready to take our message on the radio and TV networks if these bills get to the floor for a full up or down vote, just like we did last year.
This is how we fight back in Lansing -- by using every tool at our disposal to activate the largest grassroots army in the history of Michigan politics, flooding the capitol with calls and emails that let these politicians know one simple message:
“If you attack our gun rights, gun owners will attack your career in this year’s primary and general elections.”
So sign your petition right away demanding an end to the war on gun owners!

For us to run the program that I laid out above, Michigan Firearms Association simply must have your help.
And with the 2024 session already underway, the time is NOW to fight back!
So please consider making an immediate donation to help us get ready for what lies ahead.
Maybe you're able to do $250 or more?
I know that’s a lot. I wish I didn’t have to ask for it, but I am not a rich man and we aren’t funded by an out of state billionaire like Michael Bloomberg.
We’re funded by everyday patriots here in Michigan who love their flag, love their country, love this great state, and are 100% opposed to the socialist agenda of these gun grabbers!
If that sounds like you, please donate today.
But if $250 isn’t possible, please know that a donation of $100, $50 or at least $25 is very much needed and will be put to this fight immediately!
So please sign your petition and submit it to me along with your most generous contribution TODAY!
For Freedom,
Ben Dorr
