Michigan Democrats have introduced two bills in the State House that would ban open and concealed carry of firearms in the Capitol Building, on Capitol grounds, and at the Legislative buildings for the House and Senate in downtown Lansing.
State Rep. Tyrone Carter, D-6th District, one of the bills' Democratic sponsors and a former law enforcement officer, said both he and his wife, retired sergeants, have concealed pistol licenses.
“I’m okay with giving mine up if everyone else gives theirs up,” said Carter. “The thing is, 'Democrats are trying to take our guns away' – nobody’s trying to take your guns away. But there needs to be limits and qualifiers to the responsibility of owning a gun.”

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
