BTW - Only 6 people voted against it.

In the senate, Irma Clark-Coleman and Martha Scott, both from Detroit voted against it. As did notorious gun grabber Liz Brater and Gilda Jacobs.

In the house, Steve Tobocman and Aldo Vagnozzi voted against it. Tobocman is the only white rep out of Detroit(and in a tough primary). Vagnozzi has a tough district in Farmington Hills and is beatable.

Reps. Vagnozzi and Tobocman, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on House Bill 4867 because the bill would prohibit the Department of Natural Resources from stopping people with loaded pistols or concealed weapons from coming into state parks, beaches and campgrounds. Our state parks should be a place where people can go with their friends, family and children to relax and be free from worry. Our citizens should not have to worry whether or not the person next to them has a loaded gun in their picnic basket."

I always unload my gun before placing it into the picnic basket. Otherwise the tobasco sauce might cause a round to go off.
