    Great Lakes Radio News UpdateMARQUETTE, MI – (Great Lakes Radio News) – A small majority of Michigan voters are opposing President Barack Obama’s proposed new gun controls, according to a new poll.

    The survey by Lansing-based EPIC/MRA found that only 42 percent of likely Michigan voters support the president’s proposed changes in national gun laws, while 44 percent voiced opposition and 14 percent were undecided.

    It also found that opposition was strong for pending legislation in Michigan that would exempt from federal regulation any firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition manufactured in Michigan and remaining within the borders of the state.

    Most, 54 percent, also supported banning future manufacturing and sales of semi-automatic assault weapons. 43 percent were against it.

    The poll of 600 likely Michigan voters was conducted between February 5-10 and has an error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

    1. Thank you for reporting the results of this survey that “… 54% supported banning future manufacturing and sales of semi-automatic assault weapons.” The 1994 law to ban assault weapons expired in 2004. Since that time, the use of assault weapons has increased. Dianne Feinstein introduced the new bill to ban assault weapons. Please see her website which lists three pages of organizations that endorse her bill to ban assault weapons.
