I thought that it was illegal for convicted felons to own firearms, much less carry them!

The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a chainsaw.

“He used to have concerns that legally permitted permit holders would turn Detroit into the Wild West.”

Someone has been asleep while Detroit has turned into something way worse than the Wild West ever was.

Last time I was near Detroit it looked as if a bomb had wiped out large sections of the city.

Michigan became shall-issue in 2001. It’s fun watching the whole slideshow!
