For the first four years after "shall issue" passed in Michigan, leftists and RINOs, including all the newspapers, had April 1 interviews with all the county prosecutors predicting a wave of murder. They were also disappointed that it hadn't appeared yet.
They finally gave up on that, and now quietly press for more disqualifications for mental "issues", such as "excessive use of aspirin". A permit holder arrested for unpaid traffic tickets gets more publicity than the average murder in Detroit, which is an everyday item.
that's why they have Eric Holder to help out.
