“It may be an exaggeration to say that some Michigan lawmakers want to arm abusers.”
“But not by much.”
“Michigan's Legislature has approved a law, ostensibly aimed at standardizing the way concealed-weapons permits are issued, that also eliminates a state provision barring individuals subject to a personal protection order from obtaining such permits.”
“Personal protection orders, also called restraining orders, are typically issued by a court when there's reason to believe a person is in danger.

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest.

The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
