Weekly/biweekly Michigan legislative activism thread December 7, 2012
Courage means doing the right thing even when you are afraid of negative consequences. Perhaps the governor’s reserves of courage were used up last week?
(I haven’t read this specific bill, so I can’t say for sure that it is overall a good thing.)
So MI is going to leave its sitting ducks as sitting ducks?
WTF?
Makes
no
sense
Ping.
How does the state regulate the possession of legal arms in a church, why wouldn’t be strictly up to the church?
Thus ensuring more massacres....

And this guy is a Republican. If so, the woods are full of ‘em.
Ping.
Hopefully the Michigan Legislature will pass the bill again. And again, if necessary. It’ll take guts, but Snyder should be put on the spot.
He’s evidently willing to be tough on unions but not on preventing crime.
QUESTION: How many concealed weapons were involved in the Newtown case?
Before hammering the Guv too hard, keep in mind that just last week he used up a lot of his existing political capital signing the “Right to Work” legislation.
Let the public temperature cool, have the additional studies and hearings. A good idea now will still be be a good idea in the future.
Society simply cannot afford to hire that many police officers or harden that many facilities.
The bad guy (whether terrorist or deranged loner) will always obtain the weapons they need to perpetrate their mayhem and will not stop until they are dead.
Despite the current chorus of wailing and gnashing of teeth about assault guns, etc., in the end, the Liberal/Left has no better answer for the active shooter in a public place than we do: a trained, armed citizen carrying concealed to put the SOB down.
Another American sticks his head up his a$$.
Ask Governor Snyder if he is glad the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary School was unarmed last Friday.
I am so outraged by the response of our public officials to this crime. NOTHING is more obvious that our children deserve to be protected in the event of an attack by all legal and ethical means, including the use of deadly force.
What sort of a person could even question this?
Free men don’t ask permission.
Okay, so Snyder is a coward.
Whatever...
I am getting used to that from Republicans.
It’s good to keep the ban on weapons in churches and daycares - if you believe that someone who doesn’t mind the felony of mass murder will turn back when they realize that carrying the gun into a church is also a felony. Besides, what are the chances that a gun would ever be needed in church?

Thanks to restrictive laws, there has never been an armed security person or off duty cop in the schools that had mass shootings, so there is rarely a happy ending to these stories in schools. Liberals seem to think that is a good trade off, that 20 dead kids are an opportunity to pass the laws they want, not a tragedy that could have been avoided if they had not forced the existing laws on us.
