A Michigan panel rejected two proposals that would have limited guns inside the state Capitol as a debate over the building's lax firearm policy rolled on into a fifth month Monday. However, the Michigan Capitol Commission guaranteed its discussion of the matter will continue as it agreed to meet with Senate Majority Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, and House Speaker Lee Chatfield, R-Levering. The meeting will be an attempt to find "common ground" on the subject, said Gary Randall, chairman of the commission.

Before reaching any question whether you could, you must address the question if you should.
And absent any proof whatsoever of violence in that venue using firearms, there is no legitimate basis to ban them.
Fundamental rights cannot be merely cast aside because of 'feelings,' there must be clear, compelling evidence that restrictions are necessary, and only those narrowly focused on a demonstrated, not speculative, problem.
"What if?" doesn't pass constitutional muster. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
