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.

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
