Liberal gun laws are ridiculous to consider. Turning classrooms into gun show downs should never be part of the job description. The Gun Lobby is completely out of control and their politicians are now dangerous in backing the Gun Lobbyists.
Snyder's veto is basically worthless and increases the opportunity for gun violence in schools.
...While the governor rejected Senate Bill 59,(click here) he did sign two other bills that streamline the process for handgun purchases and eliminate restrictions on interstate rifle and shotgun transactions to states contiguous to Michigan.
Snyder's veto primarily is based on the bill's failure to let designated public entities such as schools, day care centers and hospitals opt out of the new concealed carry provisions. Currently, Michigan law does not prevent a concealed pistol license holder from openly carrying a pistol in these zones.
Snyder had urged that SB 59 be modified to more significantly restrict pistols in those zones by prohibiting open-carry in such places, in exchange for allowing only concealed pistols to be carried if license holders receive additional training - subject to the right of the property owners to prohibit concealed carrying if they desire. Under the bill as passed, only private venues can opt out, as can college universities with constitutional autonomy....
A challenge to the Interstate Commerce of guns and rifles need to be filed against the State of Michigan.
Snyder is allowing concealed carry in sensitive areas where children are present from open carry to concealed carry with "Special Training." The special training will be an increase in the cost of owning a gun, but, that never stops them. Concealed carry for licensed individuals allows more guns in an area where there should be NONE.
This is how the gun lobby works. First they demand open carry where guns were prohibited and then they continue to erode the safety of the public for the benefit of their perverse sense of owning guns and some kind of Second Amendment rights. They are hideous, secretive in their agenda and insidious in their methodology to corrupt the social contract between Americans.
