MI: Michigan Secretary of State Benson can’t write state gun laws

Michigan’s top elected officials have serious problems staying in their lanes.

The state Supreme Court had to rebuke Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for setting aside the Legislature to take unilateral control of the state during the COVID-19 emergency.

And now Secretary of State Benson is way overstretching her constitutional authority to rewrite the state’s firearms laws.

The secretary issued an order Friday banning the open carry of pistols and rifles near polling places.

Michigan has very specific laws detailing where firearms can and can’t be carried. There are very few restrictions on where a gun can be openly carried.

But the Constitution does not give her the power to write and impose new laws. That’s the Legislature’s role.

Amazing. A 'mainstream' local/regional paper not exactly friendly to carrying in public actually 'gets it.'

The courts agree, Benson is not a monarch.

The Attorney General disagrees, and vows to tie it up in appeals until after the election.

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. — Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833].
