And this is why I oppose background checks.

If anyone wants to be added to the Michigan Cap Con ping list, let me know.

“The Star-Spangled Banner” is a 32-bar minuet, so one might be tempted to dance to it.

[absolootezer0]

Michigan’s law regarding the national anthem is Act 328 of 1931. It prevents the “Star Spangled Banner” from being “played, sung or otherwise rendered … except as an entire and separate composition or number and without embellishments … nor be played as a part or selection of a medley of any kind … nor be played for dancing or as an exit march.”

does this mean we can prosecute the people who sing the "soul" renderings that butcher our national anthem?

Instead of state legislatures spending their time enacting some very stupid laws, why don’t they take a couple of sessions and get rid of the ones that are unconstitutional, out of date, or just plain inane?

They could repeal two laws for every one they enact.

“In fact, there are so many statutes in the state code that it is likely every resident would be considered a criminal if the codes actually were prosecuted.”

That is exactly what the totalitarians want. They already know that we are all criminals who are guilty of ‘something’ and are slowly changing the laws so that we all will be.....criminals.

If only we had more and more laws we would be a perfect people....

“A man seducing and corrupting the moral purity of an unmarried woman is a felony with possible prison time.”

Yikes! Corrupting the moral purity of an unmarried woman sounds like a fun weekend activity for me back when I was single! How would I know I wanted to marry an unmarried woman unless I had corrupted her moral purity a few times?

Reminds me of a Steve Martin joke...

“I’m not into that one night thing. I feel you should get to know someone, maybe fall in love..... before you USE and DEGRADE them.”

****“Three Felonies A Day,” and estimates that there are 4,000 federal criminal statues with countless more state and local regulations. ****

And you automatically loose your rights to own guns. This is how they will begin confiscation.

Strangest Michigan laws I recall when living there:

-Despite the presence of bar code scanning systems for a couple of decades, all items in a supermarket must also have a printed price tag on them. And if that price does not agree with what scans, the customer is entitled to ten times the difference, up to a maximum of five dollars (*since repealed)

-Fat people are a “protected class” under the State Constitution (a lady pressed her case that she was being discriminated against for being charged more for XXL sizes, and she won!)

-It is illegal to own a ferret (someone imported them in the late 1800’s to hunt something or other and apparently the ferrets hunted it into extinction)

Also the only state I’ve been in that charged me an additional entrance fee, over and above my state tax bill, to enter a state park.
